Operating Instructions
Adjusting Mattress Height
The Graco Freeport Classic Crib features a 3-position adjustable mattress support. To adjust the mattress height:
- Remove the mattress from the crib.
- Carefully remove the bolts securing the mattress support to the end panels.
- Reposition the mattress support to the desired height level. Ensure all four corners are aligned with the corresponding holes.
- Reinsert and securely tighten all bolts. Ensure the mattress support is level and stable before placing the mattress back in the crib.
Converting to Toddler Bed and Daybed
This crib is designed to convert into a toddler bed and a daybed, extending its usability as your child grows. Conversion kits (sold separately) may be required for these transformations. Refer to the specific conversion kit instructions for detailed steps.
- Toddler Bed: Typically involves removing the front side rail and replacing it with a shorter toddler guard rail.
- Daybed: Often involves removing the front side rail entirely, leaving the back and two end panels.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the crib's appearance and extend its lifespan.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth for general dusting. For spills or marks, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the wood finish.
- Hardware Checks: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and other hardware to ensure they are tight. Loose hardware can compromise the crib's safety and stability.
- Storage: If storing the crib, ensure it is in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
