Many thanks for deciding to buy product made by
ENDRES. From now on, this sturdy, high-quality
product will make it a lot easier for you to get in
and out of your bath.
This bathlift conforms to the legal standards DIN
EN ISO 10535:2007 and DIN EN 60601-1:1998.
The Bellavita is mainly built from high-quality,
recyclable lightweight plastic. This makes our
product easy to transport and stow away – and
ideally suited for use in the home or away.
The lithium-ion battery is accommodated in the
hand control. The hand control itself can float on
the water, thus making it possible to raise or lower
the seat or select intermediate stops while sitting
comfortably in an upright position. The drive motor and control electronics are completely water
tight, so you can use the Bellavita even with the
shower on.
Indication
◗
Bathing aids assist users with their daily hygiene. These aids compensate, in whole or in part,
for restricted or lost physical functions. The goal
of using such aids is to enable their users to
be independent of help and to give them more
privacy.
Bathlifts are used to reduce the height from the
op of the bath down to the bottom and vice versa.
t
Their use is recommended if the physical mobility
of a person’s upper and/or lower extremities is
significantly reduced and make it difficult to get
into or out of the bath or to sit down and stand up
safely. In these cases, the use of a bathlift is a
great help to re-gain independence and privacy
in the bathroom.

The sturdy frame dismantles, enabling the seat to
be raised or lowered from 6.5 cm to 48 cm height.
The lifting rod lifts and lowers the seat surface
when the user pushes the up and down buttons.
The drive unit with integrated backrest can be
folded down for removal and automatically locks
in the seat surface when the lift is raised. This
prevents unintentional tilting of the backrest. Intelligent power control ensures that the lift can
only be lowered if sufficient power is available to
raise it again.

Notes concerning Electromagnetic
◗
Compatibility (EMC)
This product is compliant with the protection
requirements set forth in the Council Directive
for the Harmonization of Legal Stipulations of
the Member States concerning Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMV, IEC 60601-1-2) (86/336/
EWG). However, the occurrence of electrical
nterference cannot be ruled out completely
i
under certain conditions, i.e. in particular, if
bile phones or other electrical devices are
mo
used. In the vicinity of the bathlift, do not operate
ny life-preserving or life-supporting devices or
a
any devices that may cause health hazards for
users in the event of malfunction. Such devices
may be subject to electrical interference under
certain conditions, or they may adversely affect
he proper functioning of the bathlift.
t
If you should detect any malfunctions or unusual
behaviour with your bathlift or in the vicinity or
during the operation of other electrical devices,
please make the bathlift inoperative and notify
your specialist dealer.
First installation in the bath
◗
1. Attach the suction cups at the underside of the
seat unit (baseplate). The tongues of the rear
suction caps must be directed outwards – this
ensures better access when the lift has to be
removed from the bath. Press the tongues of
the front suction cups into the provided recesses (front) in the baseplate.
Important note:
➤
The suction cups hold the bathlift firmly in place
on the bottom of the bath. Therefore, the suc-
ion cups at the underside of the Bellavita must
t
be clean and dry. The bath itself must also be
clean and dry. We recommend cleaning the suction cups and bathtub regularly with commercial
leaning agents, so as to achieve highest possi-
c
ble suction.
Make sure that the bottom of the bathtub is
2.
empty and clean (remove anti-skid mats or
s
imilar, if necessary).
3. Place the seat unit with the suction cups attached to the baseplate into the empty bath.
Make sure that the rear suction cups are located close to the bevelled edge of the bath.

Hand control
◗
Depending on the weight of the person bathing,
the capacity of the fully charged storage battery
is for a maximum of 6 baths. During the bathing
process the green control lamp of the hand control is lit up green.
When the charging level of the storage battery
falls to a factory-defined level, the lamp colour
changes to orange and the lamps starts to blink
slowly. This indicates that there is enough energy
for 1 (one) bath and the battery should be charged according to the operating instructions.
If you continue to use the lift whilst the lamp is lit
yellow, the lamp colour may change from yellow
to red and start to flash at fast intervals. In this
case, the lift will only move upwards to ensure
that you can leave the bath safely. The battery
must now be charged immediately using the battery charger supplied.

Maintenance and Care
Maintenance of the bathlift
◗
The Bellavita is equipped with maintenance-free
bearings and does not need any lubrication.
Attention: The hand control must only be
➤
opened by the bathlift manufacturer!
A periodic maintenance check has to be conducted at least every 12 months. This check includes a visual inspection of all parts, but in particular, of the load-bearing parts. It also includes
all the necessary function tests. If the inspection
should reveal any defects, wear or other signs
of damage, which might affect the safety of the
bathlift, the bathlift has to be made inoperative
until the defects are remedied. All inspections
have to be carried out by qualified and trained
personnel who have sufficient skills and practical
experience to perform such safety-relevant work
in an appropriate manner. These qualified personnel have to remain independent with regard
to the tests and inspections being carried out.
Please ask your sanitary specialist to arrange for
periodic inspections.

cleaning, either by hand or in the washing machine at 60°C. Please use a non-bio detergent
without any enzyme additives. Please note that
bath oils or other additives containing oils may
lead to discoloration of the covers.
Discoloration can also occur if the covers are not
cleaned regularly.
Note: Discolorations of the covers are
➤
caused by normal wear and are excluded
from the warranty.
The covers can be removed very easily for clea-
•
ning.
Do not dry the covers in the tumble dryer,
•
but hang them on a line to dry.
In addition, the use of a commercial disinfectant
•
is recommended.
•
Please observe the manufacturer’s instructions!
Assembly of new cushion plugs for
◗
the bathlift covers
First guide the new cushion plug through the
opening in the cushion (from top to bottom); then
press it into the washer at the underside.
Maintenance of the battery charger
◗
The charging unit does not require any maintenance. The housing must only be cleaned with
mild detergents that are free from solvents, or by
means of a damp cloth. Make sure that no liquid
enters into the charging unit. Before using the
charging unit again, always make sure that the
unit is completely dry. If necessary, store the unit
in a dry, ventilated place for several hours without
connecting it to mains power.
Attention:
➤
Before cleaning the battery charger it must
be completely disconnected from the mains
power (always make sure to pull the mains
power plug).
Charging the storage battery
◗
Make sure that the battery is fully charged before
use! The voltage rating on the charging unit has
to be compatible with the voltage of your power
supply. (e.g. 220V – 240V in Europe, and 110V in
USA).
. Plug the jack plug of the battery charger into
1
the socket on the spiral cord of the hand control until the jack plug is locked in.
Plug the mains plug of the battery charger into
2.
a socket. The red control lamp on the hand
control will be light up until the battery is charged – after that, it will change to green.
If you want to charge the battery completely, leave it connected to the charging unit. The
control unit of the battery charger will terminate
the charging process after approx. 4 hours.
This prevents that the battery from being overcharged.
3
. Remove the mains power plug from the
socket.
4. Remove the jack plug of the battery charger
from the socket on the hand control.
Important information:
➤
• If the control lamp is not lit up after connecting
the hand control, please check the following:
– Connections (is the jack plug fully plugged
into the charging socket?)
Use the battery charger only in closed rooms
•
and protect it against water and humidity.
D
o not use the battery charger in the bath-
room.
Note:
➤
• If the battery charger should be damaged,
please return it to the supplier for inspection.
