The standard Easibath has a mains electrical connection to power the lifting mechanism and whirlpool
system (if fitted). There is a risk of electroc tion if any wires become damaged and a potential fire risk
if the mechanisms fail and overheat. Yo r bath sho ld only be sed if any powered eq ipment on it
(eg. Whirlpool, raise/lower system etc.) is connected to a s itable power s pply protected by an earth
leakage circ it breaker. The electrical req irements are contained in the pre-installation instr ctions
available from Kingkraft. Test the earth leakage circ it breaker which s pplies power to yo r bath
reg larly (at least once a week), and if yo are in any do bt abo t its operation, cons lt a q alified
electrician before sing the bath.
WARNING
If thermostatic mixer valves are fitted, please refer immediately to the man fact rer if the water is too
cold or too hot and do not se the bath ntil the problem is corrected.
If conventional hot and cold taps are fitted, please ens re that the bath water is f lly mixed by hand (if
cool eno gh) or mixer paddle to a safe temperat re, prior to sing the bath. WARNING! With no
thermostatic valve attached there is the danger of scalding!
Certain bath additives may damage the bath, if they contain bleach or other corrosives. Use only
water, normal soaps and approved cleaning agents. If in do bt, please contact Kingkraft for advice
abo t the s itability of the additives yo wish to se. Kingkraft recommend Chemgene.
Under no circ mstances m st acid or bleach based cleaners be sed. To do so invalidates yo r
g arantee. We recommend that yo r Kingkraft Bath sho ld be cleaned with Chemgene which is
available from s. See the section on cleaning below for instr ctions on how to safely clean yo r nit.
If yo r nit has any electrical controls, switch off the s pply at the wall isolator (mains nits) or
disconnect and remove the battery pack (battery nits only) before attempting any maintenance,
incl ding cleaning.
Do not se press rised water jets to clean the bath and keep water jets away from the controls,
p mps and the bath chassis when cleaning aro nd the bath. Do not steam clean.
If yo r Easibath is fitted with a whirlpool hydrotherapy system, se only low foaming bath additives.
Normal b bble baths will froth excessively with whirlpools and m st not be sed as they pose a
serio s risk of drowning / s ffocation / asphyxiation to the ser and many ca se damage to property.
Do not attempt maintenance nless the bath is empty.
Check the Easibath freq ently for damage, especially the mains lead and earth wire. If yo find signs
of damage, do not se the bath and contact Kingkraft as soon as possible to arrange for service and
repair.
RISK OF SCALDING
Altho gh safety devices can be fitted as an option to minimise any
risk of scalding, sers m st be aware that these are not
necessarily fail safe. The temperat re of the water in the bath
MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED ON EVERY OCASION it
is sed and before an incapacitated person comes into contact
with the water. Ideally a calibrated thermometer sho ld be sed.
Please check if yo r bath specification incl des for these mixer
valves.
