2. Safety Information
- Always supervise your child: Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub, even for a moment. Drowning can occur quickly and in very shallow water.
- Water Temperature: Always check the water temperature before placing your child in the tub. The built-in temperature gauge and color-changing stopper are indicators, but always verify with your hand or a separate thermometer. Ideal water temperature for babies is between 90°F (32°C) and 100°F (38°C).
- Filling Level: Do not overfill the bathtub. Ensure the water level is appropriate for your child's age and size, keeping their head and face well above the water.
- Stability: Ensure the bathtub is placed on a flat, stable, and non-slip surface before use.
- Product Integrity: Before each use, inspect the bathtub for any signs of damage or wear. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
- Floating Cushion: The floating cushion is designed for support, not as a safety device. Always maintain physical contact with your baby while using the cushion.

Temperature Sensing Function
The bathtub features a built-in temperature gauge and a color-changing thermostatic drain plug to help monitor water temperature:
- Temperature Gauge: The digital display on the tub provides a real-time water temperature reading.
- Color-Changing Drain Plug: The star-shaped drain plug changes color to indicate water temperature. It signals when the water is at a suitable warmth (e.g., blue for cool, white for warm, red for hot). Always verify with your hand.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
To ensure hygiene and prolong the life of your bathtub:
- After Each Use: Drain the water completely using the thermostatic drain plug.
- Cleaning: Wipe the tub with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the bathtub, cushion, and towel to air dry completely before folding and storing to prevent mold and mildew.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials.
7. Storage

- Drain and Dry: Ensure the tub is completely drained and dry before folding.
- Collapse Tub: Turn the tub over and press the bottom inwards to collapse the main body.
- Fold Legs and Remove Support Bar: Fold the support legs inwards and remove the side support bar if it was attached.
