Assembly Instructions

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay out all frame sections, legs, and hardware. Refer to the included installation manual for a detailed parts list and diagrams.
2. Assemble the Metal Frame: Connect the various sections of the metal frame according to the provided diagrams. Ensure that all pieces are correctly oriented (some may be labeled "UP"). Secure connections using the provided hardware and tools. The slats will typically snap into place within the frame.

Operating and Usage

Once assembled, the ZINUS Keenan Metal Mattress Foundation is ready for use. Simply place your mattress directly on top of the foundation. The sturdy steel framework and multiple support legs provide a stable and durable base for your mattress, eliminating the need for a separate bed frame in many cases. Ensure the foundation is placed on a flat, level surface for optimal performance and stability.

Troubleshooting
