4. Operation

4.1. Child's Bed Usage

The Pinolino Polar child's bed is designed for versatility and safety.

• Mattress Height Adjustment: The slatted bed base can be adjusted to 3 different heights (13 cm, 25 cm, and 43 cm from the floor).
  • Use the highest position for newborns to easily access your baby.
  • Lower the mattress as your baby grows and begins to sit up or pull themselves up, to prevent them from climbing out.
  • Always ensure the mattress is at the lowest position before your child can stand.
• Conversion to Junior Bed/Sofa: The child's bed is convertible. Once your child outgrows the crib, you can remove the barred sides and replace them with the provided conversion sides to transform it into a junior bed or a small sofa. This extends the lifespan of the furniture. Refer to the assembly instructions for specific steps on conversion.
• Removable Slats: The crib features 3 removable slats, allowing older toddlers to independently enter and exit the bed safely.

4.2. Changing Chest Usage

The large changing chest provides ample storage and a convenient changing surface.

• Changing Surface: Place a suitable changing pad (not included) on the removable changing table top. Always keep one hand on your baby while changing to prevent falls.
• Drawer Storage: Utilize the three large drawers for storing diapers, wipes, clothing, and other baby essentials. The soft-close mechanism ensures quiet operation, preventing sudden noises that might disturb your baby.
• Removable Changing Top: The changing table top is removable. Once your child no longer requires a changing station, the chest can be used as a regular dresser, extending its utility for many years.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Pinolino Polar nursery furniture.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or furniture polish, as these can damage the lacquered finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity and safety.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of the white finish.
• Humidity Control: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level to prevent wood from warping or cracking.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Pinolino Polar nursery set, refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Furniture:
  • Ensure all screws and bolts are securely tightened.
  • Verify that the furniture is placed on a level surface.
