4. Operation and Usage
4.1 Using the Stairs
The unit features glide-out stairs on the left side, designed for easy access for children. To extend the stairs, gently pull them out until they lock into place. Ensure the stairs are securely locked before a child uses them. To retract the stairs, push down on the lever located near the top step and slide the stairs back into the unit. This helps save space and prevents unsupervised access.

Place the included changing pad on the plastic top. The deep rails provide a secure boundary. Always keep one hand on the child while changing to prevent falls. The pull-out paper dispenser (paper not included) is located for easy access to disposable paper for hygiene.
