Operating Instructions

• Mattress Placement: Place a full-size mattress (sold separately) on the secured metal slats. Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the frame and does not exceed the maximum recommended thickness of 6 inches to maintain guardrail effectiveness.
• Ladder Use: Always use the integrated ladder for safe access to and from the upper bunk. Face the ladder when climbing up or down.
• Under-Bed Space: The loft bed provides approximately 59 inches of clearance underneath, which can be utilized for a desk, storage, or a play area.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain the bed's stability and safety.
• Weight Limit: Adhere strictly to the 300 lb. weight limit for the upper bunk.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your DHP Tommy Full Metal Loft Bed, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbling or Instability:

  This is often caused by loose connections. Carefully re-tighten all bolts and screws throughout the entire frame. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, paying close attention to each connection point.

• Squeaking Noises:

  Squeaking can also be due to loose hardware. Systematically tighten all bolts and screws. Applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to metal-on-metal contact points during assembly or re-tightening can help reduce noise.

• Parts Not Aligning or Screws Not Going All the Way In:

  Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step as indicated in the assembly guide. Sometimes, slight adjustments to the frame's position are needed to align holes. Do not force screws; if a part seems misaligned or defective, contact customer support for assistance.
• Missing or Damaged Parts:

  Before assembly, verify all parts against the included list. If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, do not proceed with assembly. Contact DHP Customer Support immediately for replacement parts.
