3. Setup Instructions

1. Unfolding the Bathtub: Place the folded bathtub on a flat surface. Gently pull the side walls outwards to expand the tub. Extend the support legs on both ends until they click securely into their locked position. Ensure all four legs are fully extended and stable before use.
2. Placement: Position the unfolded bathtub on a firm, level, and non-slip surface, such as a bathroom floor or a sturdy changing table. Verify that the bathtub is stable and does not wobble.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Bathtub: Fill the bathtub with water to an appropriate level, typically up to the child's waist when seated. Always check the water temperature with a thermometer or your elbow to ensure it is safe and comfortable for your child (around 37°C / 98.6°F).
2. Bathing Your Child: Gently place your child into the bathtub. For newborns (0-6 months), the bathing cushion provides support. Always keep one hand on your child for safety and never leave them unattended.
3. Draining the Water: After bathing, remove your child from the tub. Locate the integrated drain plug at the bottom of the bathtub. Remove the protective cap to allow the water to drain out.

3. Collapse the Tub: Gently push down on the flexible middle section of the bathtub to collapse it flat. Ensure the side walls fold neatly inwards.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the bathtub with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Always dry the bathtub completely before folding and storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
• Inspection: Regularly check all parts of the bathtub, especially the folding mechanisms and drain plug, for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material and compromise safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Bathtub is unstable: Ensure all four support legs are fully extended and securely locked into place. The bathtub must be placed on a flat, even surface.
• Water not draining properly: Check that the drain plug is fully open and free from any obstructions.
• Difficulty folding: Ensure the bathtub is completely empty and dry. Apply gentle, even pressure when collapsing the flexible middle section and folding the legs. Do not force any components.
