Operating Instructions
The Zinus Santiago Wood Platform Bed Frame is designed for immediate use once assembled.
- Place your mattress directly onto the wooden slats. A box spring is not required.
- The frame's design helps prevent mattress slippage.
- Utilize the under-bed space for storage as needed.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Zinus Santiago Wood Platform Bed Frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep the bed frame in a dry environment to prevent wood warping or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, consider the following common solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking. Ensure the slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.
- Mattress Shifting: Verify that the mattress is correctly positioned within the frame. The integrated design and non-slip tape on the slats are intended to minimize movement.
- Instability: Ensure the bed frame is on a level surface. Re-check all assembly connections for proper tightening.
