•Check the tub will raise and lower properly using the handset.
•Check the temperature of the water in the tub before use.
Instructions for use:
Before using, check that the bath will raise and lower using the

Filling the tub:
Ensure the water temperature is correct when filling the bath and
before the client enters the tub.

The bath is operated with a two button handset. Pressing one of
the buttons will either raise or lower the bath as required.

Baths fitted with Neatfold stretcher
Version 8 12/2018
The Neatfold stretcher is designed as a personal support platform fitted to the top of the
bath. It can be quickly and conveniently folded and stowed vertically if the bath is against
a wall, or potentially alongside the bath, maximizing the space available in the room.
Carry out the following checks before using the Neatfold stretcher:
•Check the stretcher is secure and correctly positioned over the tub.
•Visually check the stretcher cover for damage and security before use.
To use the stretcher when stowed down the side of the bath:
•Stand in a suitable position beside the bath so that you can operate the Neatfold
stretcher.
•Lift the assembly upwards so that it resembles Picture A.
•Hold onto the center of the stretcher frame at the point where the material has been
removed (the handhold).
•Pull the stretcher at the handhold and the Neatfold can be folded horizontally down in
place. A small jolt will be felt as the stretcher becomes horizontal, this is normal and part
of the stretcher function.
•Ensure that the stretcher is now resting on the rim of the bath. The Neatfold is now ready for
use (Picture C).
To stow the Neatfold:
•Hold the stretcher frame at the handhold.
•Push upwards and outwards gently so that the Neatfold starts to fold down the middle (Picture
B).
•Once the Neatfold replicates Picture A, it is then ready to be stowed away down the side of
the bath (Picture D).

Operating instructions for optional guards (if fitted)
Version 8 12/2018
•Ensure that the stretcher is correctly deployed.
•Carefully align and engage the two vertical tubes of the guard assembly into the black nylon
recievers fitted to the stretcher.
•To remove the guard, lift the guard out vertically from its position and store in a safe place.
Caution:
The persistent or heavy use of oil based products may adversely affect the white stretcher
material. Oils and other petro-chemicals should be avoided or used sparingly and any residue
removed.
Cleaning:
The stretcher, frame, guard and guard bumper may be cleaned using most mild cleaning
agents. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided in order to maintain the semi-gloss finish of the
white high-tension stretcher material and the painted finish of the frame.
The stretcher and frame may be cleaned using a high temperature pressure water or non-
chemical steam cleaner but under no circumstances should it be placed into an autoclave.
Chemical agents and solvents must not be used i.e. drain cleaners, acetone, oven cleaners or
acids. Attention should always be paid to instruction labels on the outside of the cleaning agent
containers.
Fill the tub with water. The spa unit is controlled using the round button attached to the bath tub.
To turn the air pump on, pressing the button once will operate the spa at its lowest setting.
Pressing the button for a second time will operate the spa at its medium setting. Pressing the
button for a third time will operate the spa at its highest setting. Once the unit has been turned on,
it will remain active for 20 minutes before automatically turning off. Pressing the button again will
operate the spa system for a further 20 minutes. Use of the spa bath system for longer than 20
minutes is not recommended.
Hygiene management:
The spa system is designed to be self-maintaining with regards to hygiene. Approximately 20
minutes after use, the spa system will automatically turn itself on and operate for approximately 20
seconds. This is called the "Auto-Purge" cycle. Any water remaining within the jet system will be
ejected, keeping the jets clean. When cleaning the bath, using the bath for showering only, or
bathing without the spa system, it is recommended that a manual purge is performed. The Auto-
Purge will then operate 20 minutes later.
Cleaning the bath:
The bath may be cleaned using most mild cleaning agents. Chemical agents and solvents must not
be used, i.e. drain cleaners, acetone, oven cleaners or acids. The taps, side & end panels and
handset should be cleaned using a warm soapy solution and wipe down with a damp cloth.
Attention should always be paid to instruction labels for the cleaning agent.

Troubleshooting:
In the unlikely event that problems occur with theunit, carry out the following easy checks to
determine where or not an engineer is required.
Fault: The Rio or Kiva bath doesn't travel up or down or moves downwards very slowly whilst
beeping.
Cause: The mains power supply has been disconnected for some time and the unit's batteries
are now flat.
Remedy: Examine the mains fuses/circuit breakers and reset as necessary and ensure that the
mains voltage is fully reconnected. Allow the battery back-up system to re-charge for
approximately 2 hours.
Fault: The bath doesnt move upward or downards at all.
Cause: The handset has been pulled from the socket fitted to the underside of the unit.
Remedy: Push the plug fitted to the handset more firmly into the socket.
Fault: Only one end of the bath moves up and down.
Remedy: You need to contact Astor Bannerman as there is a malfunction with the equipment.
Fault: Water temperature is incorrect from thermostatic mixer tap.
Remedy: The thermostatic mixer taps will need recalibrating.
Fault: The water has stopped running.
Remedy: Check that you have both a hot and cold water supply.
