INTRODUCTION

Important Points

The Mira shower seat has been designed for installation inside a shower cubicle,
over a bath or within the drying area.

The shower seat must be secured to a at, sound and solid wall surface (‘solid’

means constructed of brick or high density concrete block).
Warning! All screws and wall plugs supplied must be securely tted to the full

depth.
Warning! This product has been designed as a seat only and should not be used

for any other purposes.

Note! The shower seat may be xed to other wall types, but advice must be sought
from a competent builder regarding wall structure and fastening prior to tting.

Cavities, voids, loose material, cables and pipes must be avoided when locating

the xing screws.
Maximum Weight - 150 kg (23 stone) evenly distributed about the seat.

Fixing Height

The xing height of the shower seat depends largely on the height of the user, it
will usually be somewhere between 400-500 mm above the bottom of the shower
tray, bath or oor.

A simple method of determining the shower seat height would be to measure the

seat height of the users favourite/most comfortable chair, and x the shower seat

at a similar height.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Maintenance

Many household cleaners contain abrasive and chemical substances, and should

not be used for cleaning plated or plastic ttings. These nishes should be cleaned

with a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft
cloth.

Caution! First test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area of the seat in
