4.3. Daybed Conversion

To convert to a daybed, remove the front rail of the crib entirely. The mattress support remains at its lowest position. No additional rail is used for the daybed configuration.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Adjusting Mattress Height

The crib features multiple mattress support positions to accommodate your child's growth. Always use the highest position for newborns and lower the mattress support as your child grows and becomes more mobile. The lowest position should be used when your child can stand unassisted.

• To adjust, remove the mattress and bedding.
• Carefully detach the mattress support from the side panels.
• Re-insert the mattress support into the desired lower slots, ensuring it is level and securely fastened on all four corners.
• Always ensure all hardware is tightened after adjusting the mattress height.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your DaVinci Asher crib.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Hardware: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary. Do not over-tighten.
• Storage: If storing the crib, disassemble it carefully and store all parts and hardware in a dry, temperate environment.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or cracking of the wood finish.
