Key risks

• Slips and falls due to a build-up of water, soap or dirt around the perimeter of the pan.
• Leaks and damp caused by faulty installation or sealing, with a risk of bad odours and flooring deterioration.
• Breakages or cracks from impacts, overloading or uneven settlement; potential risk of cuts and loss of stability.
• Awkward postures and loss of balance when squatting; increased risk for people with reduced mobility or unstable balance.
• Exposure to splashes and biological contaminants if adequate hygiene is not maintained.
• Skin or respiratory irritation due to improper use or mixing of cleaning products.
• Blockages and overflows when disposing of unsuitable items down the drain.

Safe use

• Keep the area dry and clear; immediately clean up water, soap or residues that may cause slipping.
• Place your feet on the designated foot areas and avoid stepping on edges or covers.
• Ensure sufficient lighting in the bathroom; if grab bars or support points are available, use them.
• Flush with sufficient water after each use to aid drainage and reduce odours.
• Do not throw wipes, sanitary towels, cotton buds or other objects; use a bin for waste.
• Before use, visually check that there are no cracks, loose parts or abnormal movement.
• Ventilate the bathroom during and after cleaning to disperse cleaner vapours.
• Wash your hands after use and after any cleaning task.

Storage and maintenance

• If not yet installed, handle the pan carefully and store it horizontally on a flat, protected surface, avoiding impacts and exposed edges.
• Clean regularly using a soft cloth or brush and non-abrasive products; avoid metal scouring pads that may scratch the finish.
• Do not mix bleach with ammonia or acids; rinse thoroughly after applying any cleaner and keep the area ventilated.
• Periodically check joints, the perimeter seal and fixings; if they are deteriorated, have them repaired before continued use.
• If you notice cracks, movement or unusual noises when stepping, stop using it and arrange repair or replacement by qualified personnel.
• To unblock, use compatible methods (for example, a rubber plunger); avoid sharp objects or highly corrosive chemicals that could damage the glaze or pipework.
• Check that the drain runs freely to prevent backflow and bad odours.

Usage restrictions

• Not recommended without supervision for young children or for people with reduced mobility, frequent dizziness or recovering from injuries.
• Do not use the pan as a step, seat or support to reach other areas.
• Do not strike, drill or place heavy loads on the pan or its perimeter.
• Do not pour oils, solvents, paints, strong acids or boiling water down the drain.
• Installation, replacement and repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not remove or alter fixing or sealing elements without appropriate preparation.
