1. Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: This airbed is designed to support a maximum weight of 600 pounds (272 kg). Do not exceed this limit.
- Inflation: Always ensure the airbed is fully inflated before use. Under-inflation can lead to discomfort and potential damage.
- Re-inflation: Airbeds may require occasional re-inflation (topping off) to maintain desired firmness, especially during initial use or over extended periods, as vinyl material can naturally stretch and relax.
- Temperature and Humidity: Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can affect the airbed's firmness. Adjust inflation as needed.
- Sharp Objects: Keep the airbed away from sharp objects, heat sources, and open flames to prevent punctures and damage.
- Children: Supervise children when they are near or on the airbed.

3. Setup
3.1 Inflation
- Unfold the airbed on a clean, flat surface, ensuring there are no sharp objects underneath.
- Locate the 2-in-1 valve. This valve features extra-wide openings designed for fast inflation and deflation.
- Open the outer cap of the valve.
- Insert the nozzle of an external air pump (not included) into the valve opening.
- Inflate the airbed until it is firm to the touch. Avoid over-inflation.
- Once inflated, remove the pump and securely close the inner cap, then the outer cap, to prevent air leakage. Ensure both caps are tightly sealed.

3.2 Placement
The airbed is raised approximately 8.75 inches (22 cm) from the floor, providing insulation from cold ground surfaces. Place the airbed in your desired location, ensuring adequate space around it.
4. Operating Instructions
The Intex Classic Downy Airbed provides a comfortable sleeping surface. Its waterproof flocked top offers a soft feel and helps prevent bedding from slipping. The unique wave beam construction ensures a flat, uniform sleeping surface.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the airbed, use a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the flocked surface or vinyl material. Ensure the airbed is completely dry before storing.
5.2 Storage
For storage, ensure the airbed is clean and completely dry. Deflate the airbed fully using the 2-in-1 valve. Fold it compactly for easy storage or transport. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5.3 Re-inflation
As noted in the safety information, vinyl material can relax over time, causing the airbed to lose some firmness. It is normal to occasionally re-inflate (top off) the airbed to maintain your preferred level of firmness, especially during prolonged use.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Air Loss
- Vinyl Relaxation: A common reason for apparent air loss is the natural stretching and relaxation of the vinyl material, especially during the first few uses. This is not a leak. Simply re-inflate the airbed to your desired firmness.
- Valve Seal: Ensure both the inner and outer caps of the 2-in-1 valve are securely closed and sealed after inflation. A loose cap can cause air to escape.
- Temperature Changes: Cooler temperatures can cause the air inside the airbed to contract, leading to a decrease in firmness. Re-inflate if necessary.
- Punctures: Inspect the airbed for any small punctures. If a leak is found, a repair kit (sold separately) can be used to patch the hole.
