To sit down, approach the toilet and use the hand grips for balance and support as you slowly lower yourself onto the toilet seat. To stand up, firmly grasp the hand grips and push down to assist in lifting yourself from the toilet. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor for maximum stability.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Carex Toilet Safety Frame, regular cleaning is recommended.

• Clean the cushioned hand grips and metal frame regularly with a mild soap and water solution.
• Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish or materials.
• Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Carex Toilet Safety Frame, consider the following common solutions:

• Frame feels wobbly: Check all installation bolts and adjustment knobs. Ensure they are securely tightened. The frame should be snug against the toilet.
• Difficulty adjusting width: Ensure the adjustment knobs are fully loosened before attempting to slide the frame components.
• Hand grips are loose: The hand grips are designed to be snug. If they feel loose, ensure they are properly seated on the frame.
