5. Operating Instructions

The OrtoPrime Commode Chair can be used in two primary ways:

5.1. As a Standalone Commode Chair

• Ensure the commode bucket is correctly inserted beneath the seat.
• The padded seat can be used for comfort when not in use as a commode, allowing it to function as a regular chair.
• When needed, lift the padded seat to expose the toilet opening.
• After use, replace the padded seat and remove the commode bucket for emptying and cleaning.

5.2. Over a Standard Toilet

• Adjust the chair's height so it comfortably fits over your existing toilet bowl. Ensure the chair's legs are stable and level.
• Remove the commode bucket. The chair will now function as a raised toilet seat with armrests for support.
• The clip-on bidet attachment can be used in this configuration for enhanced hygiene.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your commode chair and ensure hygiene.

• Commode Bucket: Empty and clean the commode bucket after each use. Use warm water and a mild disinfectant. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
• Chair Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately to prevent rust.
• Padded Parts: The padded seat, backrest, and armrests can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
• Bidet Attachment: Clean the bidet attachment with warm water and a mild disinfectant. Ensure all nozzles are clear of debris.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and pins to ensure they are tight and secure. Inspect the rubber tips on the legs for wear and replace if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Chair feels unstable: Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the same height and the spring-loaded pins are fully engaged. Check that the chair is on a flat, level surface.
• Difficulty inserting/removing commode bucket: Ensure the bucket is aligned correctly with the rails. Check for any obstructions.
