Setup and Installation
Before You Begin
Tools Required (not included):
- Drill
- Drill bits appropriate for your wall type and anchor size
- Measuring tape
- Pencil or marker
- Level
- Screwdriver
Important Note: This shower seat is designed for installation on solid walls and bathroom tile walls. It is not suitable for hollow walls. Ensure the drilling depth is greater than 70 mm (2.76 inches) for secure installation.
Installation Steps
- Determine Installation Height: Choose a comfortable height for the shower seat. The installation height can be freely selected to accommodate different users (children, adults, elderly). Mark the desired position on the wall.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the bases as a template to mark the drilling points on the wall. Ensure the marks are level.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material, drill holes at the marked points. The minimum drilling depth should be 70 mm (2.76 inches).
- Insert Wall Anchors: Insert the provided wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap them gently with a hammer if necessary until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Bases: Align the bases with the anchors and secure them to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly tightened.
- Mount Shower Seat: Attach the foldable shower seat to the installed bases. Follow the specific instructions on the included English Installation Diagram for proper alignment and attachment.
- Install Decorative Covers: Place the circular decorative covers over the bases to conceal the mounting hardware. These covers also help dampen vibration and provide a silent folding effect.
- Test Stability: Before use, gently apply pressure to the seat to ensure it is securely mounted and stable.

Operating Instructions
The FFanhia folding shower seat is designed for simple and convenient use:
- To Deploy: Gently pull the seat downwards until it locks into the horizontal position. Ensure it is fully extended and stable before sitting.
- To Fold Up: When not in use, lift the seat upwards. The unique folding mechanism allows it to fold flat against the wall at a 90° angle, saving significant space in your bathroom. The reserved distance between the seat plate and the wall prevents pinching.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your FFanhia shower seat, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the seat regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the oak wood and its protective coating.
- Drying: After cleaning or use in the shower, ensure the seat is thoroughly dried to prevent water damage to the wood.
- Wood Care: The oak wood is treated with environmentally friendly baking painting and an environmentally friendly coating (wood wax oil process) for water resistance. While durable, prolonged exposure to standing water should be avoided.
- Hardware: Periodically check the hardware for any signs of rust or wear. If necessary, clean and dry the metal components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Seat feels wobbly or unstable after installation. | Loose mounting screws; improper wall type; anchors not fully seated. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Verify the wall is solid and not hollow. Re-seat anchors if necessary. If the wall is hollow, the seat cannot be safely installed. |
| Difficulty folding or unfolding the seat. | Mechanism obstruction; dirt buildup; misaligned installation. | Check for any obstructions around the hinge mechanism. Clean any dirt or debris. Ensure the seat was installed level and correctly. |
| Wood appears discolored or damaged. | Prolonged water exposure; harsh cleaning agents. | Ensure the seat is dried after each use. Use only mild cleaners. For minor discoloration, consult a wood care specialist. |
