Operating Instructions

The primary operation of this bed frame involves adjusting its size to fit your mattress and box spring.

• Adjusting Frame Size: To change the frame from Twin to Full or Queen, or vice versa, first remove the mattress and box spring. Locate the adjustment points on the frame's side rails and center bars. Press the release buttons or mechanisms and slide the frame sections to expand or contract to the desired size. Ensure the frame clicks into place for the selected size (Twin, Full, or Queen) before replacing the box spring and mattress.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your bed frame.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Floor Protection: The frame includes non-slip pads on the feet to protect your flooring. Ensure these pads remain in place. If they become worn or detached, replacements may be available or generic floor protectors can be used.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bed frame, consider the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-check and tighten all bolts and interlocking mechanisms. Ensure the frame is properly adjusted to the correct size and fully locked.
• Instability/Wobbling: Verify that the frame is assembled on a level surface. Ensure all legs are making firm contact with the floor and that all connections are secure. Check that the center support bar is correctly installed and supporting the frame.
• Difficulty Adjusting Size: Ensure the mattress and box spring are removed before attempting to adjust the frame size. Press the release mechanisms firmly and slide the sections smoothly. Do not force the adjustment.
