5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Gate Operation

If your playpen includes a gate panel, ensure you understand its operation for safe entry and exit. The gate is designed with a secure latch mechanism to prevent accidental opening by children.

• To open the gate: Locate the latch mechanism, typically a push-and-lift or slide-and-lift design. Operate the latch and swing the gate open.
• To close the gate: Swing the gate shut firmly until you hear or feel the latch engage securely. Always double-check that the gate is locked before leaving your child unattended.

5.2. Reconfiguring the Playpen Shape

The modular design of the Dibea playpen allows for various configurations. To change the shape:

• Carefully loosen the fasteners at the connection points you wish to adjust.
• Rearrange the panels into the desired new shape (e.g., square, rectangle, or smaller octagon).
• Once the new shape is formed, securely tighten all fasteners at every connection point.
• Always perform a stability check after reconfiguring the playpen.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1. Cleaning

• Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Dry the playpen immediately after cleaning to prevent moisture damage.

6.2. Inspection and Storage

• Regularly inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Tighten any loose screws immediately.
• If any part is damaged, discontinue use and replace the part or contact customer support.
• When not in use, store the playpen in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause wood warping or cracking.
