- Attach Feet: Before initial use, push each of the four suction cup feet firmly into the leg sockets on the underside of the bath seat.
- Secure Feet: Ensure each foot is pushed fully home until the catch 'A' engages securely in the rectangular slot 'B' located on the inside of the leg socket. Verify that all feet are securely attached before proceeding.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Kingfisher Bath Seat, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the bath seat regularly using a non-abrasive cream cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the plastic surface.
- Storage: Do not store the bath seat in direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can affect the material's integrity and color.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bath seat and its suction cups for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
Troubleshooting
Suction Cups Not Sticking
If the suction cups do not adhere reliably to the bottom of your bath, consider the following:
- Surface Condition: Ensure the bath surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Older cast iron baths with uneven or worn enamel surfaces may reduce suction effectiveness.
- Application: Press down firmly on the seat to expel air from under the suction cups.
- Weight Bearing: Even if suction is not perfect, the user's weight on the seat often provides sufficient friction to prevent movement. Always test stability before full use.
