Using the Commode Pan

The commode includes a secure, well-designed pan that fits neatly under the seat. The lid automatically locks when carried, preventing spills. To remove the pan, lift the seat or slide the pan out from the back or side, depending on the chair's configuration. Empty and clean the pan after each use.
