4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ZINUS Keenan Metal Mattress Foundation, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame and fabric cover with a dry cloth as needed to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the finish or fabric.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Weight Capacity: Adhere to the specified weight limits: 350 lbs for Twin size, and 700 lbs for Full, Queen, and King sizes. Exceeding these limits may compromise the foundation's structural integrity.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Squeaking Noises

If you experience squeaking noises from the foundation:

• Check Connections: Ensure all bolts and fasteners are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
• Re-assemble: If squeaking persists, disassemble and re-assemble the unit, paying close attention to the tightness of all connections and the proper seating of all components.
• Floor Surface: Ensure the foundation is placed on a level surface. Uneven floors can cause stress on the frame, leading to noise.

5.2 Instability or Wobbling

If the foundation feels unstable or wobbles:

• Legs: Verify that all support legs are firmly attached and evenly touching the floor. Adjust if necessary.
• Frame Assembly: Confirm that the main frame components are correctly assembled and all connections are tight.
• Weight Distribution: Ensure the mattress and any occupants' weight are distributed evenly and do not exceed the stated weight capacity.
