5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your shower seat. If you are unsure about any step, please consult a professional.
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Drill
- Drill bits appropriate for your wall type and anchors
- Level
- Measuring tape
- Pencil/Marker
- Screwdriver
Installation Steps:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location in your shower or bathroom. Ensure the wall is solid (e.g., concrete, brick, or reinforced studs) and free from pipes or electrical wiring.
- Determine Height: Sit on a regular chair and measure the comfortable height from the floor to the top of your thigh. This will be the approximate height for the top of the shower seat. Mark this height on the wall.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the shower seat mounting bracket against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the positions for the drilling holes with a pencil.
- Drill Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type and the provided anchors, carefully drill holes at the marked positions. Ensure the depth is sufficient for the anchors.
- Insert Anchors: Insert the wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap them gently with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Mount the Seat: Align the mounting bracket of the shower seat with the installed anchors. Insert the screws through the bracket and into the anchors. Tighten all screws securely using a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Test Stability: Before initial use, apply downward pressure to the seat to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble.
6. Operating Instructions
To Unfold the Seat:
- Gently pull the seat downwards from its folded position until it locks securely into the horizontal position. Ensure it is fully extended and stable before sitting.
To Fold the Seat:
- When not in use, lift the seat upwards. It will pivot on its hinge and fold flat against the wall, saving space.
7. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the shower seat regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
- Drying: Wipe the seat dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain hygiene.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the seat for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check all mounting screws for tightness. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
8. Troubleshooting
Seat feels unstable after installation:
- Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened.
- Verify that the wall surface is structurally sound and that appropriate anchors were used. If installed on drywall without proper backing, the installation may not be secure.
- Re-check the installation steps or consult a professional.
Seat does not fold or unfold smoothly:
- Check for any obstructions around the hinge mechanism.
- Ensure the seat is clean and free of debris that might impede movement.
- A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the hinge if necessary, but avoid oil-based lubricants in wet environments.
9. User Tips
- Space-Saving Design: The foldable nature of this shower seat makes it an excellent choice for smaller bathrooms or showers where a permanent, bulky seat would be inconvenient.
- Aesthetic Appeal: When folded flat against the wall, the seat maintains a sleek and unobtrusive profile, blending seamlessly with modern bathroom decor.
- Versatile Use: While primarily designed for showers, its compact and durable design makes it suitable for other areas requiring occasional seating, such as changing rooms or hallways.
