the bathtub.
2. Fill the bath with water and check the tempera-
ture.

would sit down on a chair.
4. Slide backwards until you are sitting in the middle
of the seat.

the edge of the bathtub.
6. Once you are sitting correctly, press the DOWN
button (4, fig. 10) to lower the seat into the water.
Once the seat has reached its lowest position, you can
tilt the backrest back, so that you can lean back
deeper in the water (not on model ORCA F).
7. Keep pressing the DOWN button until the back-
rest is at the right position.
To get out of the bath, follow the above steps in re-
verse order.

the bathtub as described in section 5.3.
