Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Drill, drill bit (appropriate for wall material), hammer, screwdriver, measuring tape, pencil.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location on a concrete, brick, or tile wall. The foot rest can be positioned at any height, typically 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) from the floor, to best suit your needs. Ensure the chosen location allows for comfortable use and folding.
- Mark Holes: Hold the foot rest base against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting holes. There are three mounting points on the base.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material (e.g., tile and glass drill bit for tile), carefully drill holes at the marked positions.
- Insert Anchors: Gently tap the plastic anchors into the drilled holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface. For optimal stability, especially in stud walls behind tile, it is highly recommended to install blocking (e.g., a 2x4) behind the wall or use stronger anchors like toggle bolts if a stud cannot be located. The provided plastic anchors are suitable for solid masonry/concrete.
- Mount Foot Rest: Align the foot rest base with the anchors. Insert the screws through the base and into the anchors. Tighten the screws securely with a screwdriver.
- Install Screw Caps: Place the chrome screw caps over the screw heads for a finished appearance.
- Test Stability: Before regular use, gently apply pressure to the foot rest to ensure it is securely mounted and stable. It is designed to support a foot for balance and shaving, not full body weight.

Operating Instructions
The SANLIV Shower Foot Rest is designed for convenience and safety during showering tasks such as shaving legs or washing feet.
- To Extend: Gently pull the foot rest downwards until it locks into the horizontal position. The angled design and ribbed surface provide a comfortable and secure platform for your foot.
- To Fold: When not in use, push the foot rest upwards against the wall. It will fold flat, saving space and maintaining a tidy shower area.
- Using the Hook: The integrated side hook can be used to hang shower accessories like loofahs, sponges, or squeegees, keeping them within easy reach and allowing them to dry properly.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your SANLIV Shower Foot Rest, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the polished chrome finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If any looseness is detected, re-tighten them to ensure continued stability.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Foot rest feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose mounting screws or inadequate wall anchoring. | Re-tighten all mounting screws. If instability persists, consider reinforcing the wall behind the mounting area or using stronger anchors (e.g., toggle bolts) if the original installation did not secure into a wall stud or solid material. |
| Foot slips on the surface. | Excessive soap residue or worn surface. | Clean the foot rest surface thoroughly to remove any slippery residue. The ribbed design is intended to provide grip, but always exercise caution in wet environments. |
| Foot rest does not fold smoothly. | Accumulation of mineral deposits or debris in the hinge mechanism. | Clean the hinge area with a soft brush and mild cleaner. Ensure no debris obstructs the folding mechanism. |
Important Safety Note: This shower foot rest is designed to assist with balance and provide a platform for tasks like shaving. It is not intended to support full body weight or be used as a grab bar. Applying excessive weight or using it for support beyond its intended purpose may lead to product failure and injury.
