3. Setup and Assembly

The lwjunmm Bedside Commode typically arrives pre-assembled or requires minimal setup. Follow these steps to prepare your commode for use.

3.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Verify that all parts are present: commode frame, padded seat, backrest, removable bucket (solid or hollow), and armrests.
3. Inspect for any damage during transit. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately.

3.2 Component Identification and Assembly

Figure 3.1: Commode dimensions and bucket types. The commode measures approximately 38.5cm in height (seat to top of backrest), 40.7cm seat width, 40.8cm seat depth, and 52.8cm total depth. The solid and hollow buckets are both 32.6cm in diameter at the top, 27.5cm at the bottom, and 15.7cm deep.

1. Attach Armrests: If not already attached, slide the armrests into the designated slots on the sides of the commode frame until they click securely into place. Ensure they are firm and do not wobble.
2. Insert Bucket: Place the chosen bucket (solid for standalone use, hollow for over-the-toilet use) into the commode opening. Ensure it sits flush and is stable.
3. Position Seat and Lid: Ensure the padded seat is correctly aligned and secured on top of the commode. The lid should close properly over the seat.
4. Optional Heightening Mode: If your model includes heightening legs, attach them to the base of the commode as shown in Figure 3.2 to increase the overall height by approximately 52mm. This is suitable for users requiring a higher seat.

Figure 3.2: Heightening Mode. The commode's height can be adjusted by adding optional leg extensions, raising the seat by 52mm for taller users or those who find a higher seat more comfortable.

3.3 Stability Check

Before each use, ensure the commode is placed on a flat, stable surface. Gently rock the commode to confirm it does not wobble. The anti-slip bottom design enhances stability.

4. Operating Instructions

The lwjunmm Bedside Commode offers multiple modes of operation to suit various user needs and environments.

4.1 As a Bedside Commode (Standalone)

1. Place the commode next to the bed or in a convenient location.
2. Ensure the solid barrel (bucket) is inserted into the commode.
3. For easier cleaning, line the solid barrel with a standard trash bag before use.
4. Use the armrests for support when sitting down and standing up.
5. After use, close the double-layer lid to contain odors.

4.2 As an Over-the-Toilet Commode

1. Position the commode directly over a standard toilet bowl.
2. Ensure the hollow barrel (bucket) is inserted, allowing waste to fall directly into the toilet.
3. Verify that the commode is stable and centered over the toilet before use.
4. Use the armrests for support.

4.3 As a Shower Chair

The commode can also be used as a shower chair. Ensure the commode is placed on a non-slip surface within the shower area. The PP material is water-resistant. Always exercise caution on wet surfaces.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your lwjunmm Bedside Commode.

5.1 Daily Cleaning

1. Waste Disposal: If using a trash bag, tie it securely and dispose of it according to local regulations. If using the bucket directly, empty its contents into a toilet.
2. Bucket Cleaning: Remove the bucket and clean it thoroughly with warm water and a mild disinfectant or soap. Rinse well and dry completely before reinserting.
3. Commode Frame: Wipe down the commode frame, seat, and backrest with a damp cloth and a mild disinfectant. Dry thoroughly.
