2. Safety Information

Your child's safety is paramount. Please read and follow all safety warnings and instructions carefully before assembling and using the crib. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and all screws and fasteners are securely tightened before use. Regularly check for loose parts.
• Mattress: Use only a mattress that fits snugly into the crib, leaving no gaps larger than 3 cm (1.2 inches) between the mattress and the crib sides.
• Suffocation Hazard: Do not place pillows, quilts, or soft bedding in the crib with infants. These can pose a suffocation risk.
• Strangulation Hazard: Keep cords, blinds, and other items that could pose a strangulation risk away from the crib.
• Falls: When your child is able to pull themselves to a standing position, the mattress support should be placed in the lowest position. Remove large toys or other objects that could serve as steps for climbing out.
• Damage: Discontinue use of the crib if any parts are broken, torn, or missing. Contact Foppapedretti for replacement parts.
• Supervision: Never leave your child unattended in the crib.

2. Identify all parts using the component list in the separate assembly manual.
3. Follow the numerical sequence of steps provided in the assembly manual to construct the crib frame.
4. Attach the wheels to the base of the crib, ensuring the two braking wheels are positioned diagonally for optimal stability.

7. Once assembled, double-check all connections to ensure they are tight and secure.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details how to use the adjustable features of your Foppapedretti Felicity Crib.

5.1 Adjusting the Side Rail

The crib features one adjustable side rail that can be set to two different heights. This allows for easier access to your baby, especially during the newborn stage, and can be lowered as your child grows.

• To lower the side rail: Simultaneously press the release buttons (if present) or mechanisms on both sides of the rail and gently guide it downwards until it locks into the lower position.
• To raise the side rail: Simultaneously press the release buttons or mechanisms and lift the rail upwards until it locks securely into the higher position.
• Always ensure the side rail is securely locked in place before leaving your child unattended.

5.2 Adjusting the Slatted Base Height

The slatted base can be adjusted to two different heights to accommodate your child's growth and ensure safety.

• Higher Position: Ideal for newborns and younger infants, making it easier for parents to reach the baby without excessive bending.
• Lower Position: Essential for older infants who can sit up, crawl, or pull themselves to a standing position. This prevents the child from climbing out of the crib.
• To change the base height, you will need to partially disassemble the crib. Refer to the specific instructions in your assembly manual for the correct procedure. Always ensure the base is securely fastened at the chosen height before placing your child in the crib.

5.3 Moving the Crib

The crib is equipped with four rotating rubber wheels for easy movement. Two of these wheels have integrated brakes to secure the crib in place.

• To move the crib: Ensure both wheel brakes are disengaged. Gently push or pull the crib to the desired location.
• To secure the crib: Once the crib is in its desired position, engage the brakes on both braking wheels by pressing down on the brake levers. Verify that the crib is stable and cannot move.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your Foppapedretti Felicity Crib.

• Cleaning: Wipe the crib surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and material.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose hardware immediately.
• Moving Parts: Ensure the adjustable side rail mechanism and wheel brakes operate smoothly and are free from obstructions.
• Storage: If storing the crib, ensure it is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your crib.

• Crib feels unstable or wobbly:
  Solution: Check all assembly screws and bolts. Ensure they are fully tightened. Verify that the wheels are properly installed and, if stationary, that the brakes are engaged.
• Side rail is difficult to adjust or does not lock:
  Solution: Inspect the side rail mechanism for any obstructions, debris, or damage. Ensure both release buttons/mechanisms are pressed simultaneously and the rail is guided smoothly. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Drawer does not slide smoothly:
  Solution: Check the drawer runners for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the drawer is correctly assembled and inserted into its tracks.
• Wheels are not rolling freely:
  Solution: Check if the wheel brakes are engaged. Clear any debris from around the wheels. If a wheel is damaged, it may need replacement.
