Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the ZINUS Suzanne Platform Bed Frame is designed to be straightforward. All necessary tools are included in the hardware pack. It is recommended that two people assemble the bed frame.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., carpet or blanket) to prevent scratches.
- Identify Parts: Refer to the included diagram (if available in physical manual) to identify the headboard, footboard, side rails, and support legs.
- Attach Side Rails to Headboard: Securely attach the side rails to the headboard using the provided bolts and the ratchet tool. Do not fully tighten bolts until all connections are made.
- Attach Side Rails to Footboard: Connect the other end of the side rails to the footboard, securing with bolts.
- Install Center Support: Attach the center support beam and any associated legs to the frame.
- Insert Wood Slats: Place the wooden slats across the frame. Ensure they are evenly spaced and secured according to the instructions. Some slats may have non-slip tape to keep the mattress in place and prevent noise.

Operating Instructions
The ZINUS Suzanne Platform Bed Frame is designed to provide stable support for your mattress without the need for a box spring.
- Mattress Placement: Carefully place your King-sized mattress directly onto the wooden slats. The non-slip tape on the slats helps keep the mattress from shifting.
- Weight Capacity: The King size bed frame has a maximum weight recommendation of 318 kg (700 lbs), including the mattress and occupants. Do not exceed this weight.
- Movement: Avoid dragging the bed frame when moving it. Lift the frame to reposition to prevent damage to the legs or floor.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal and wood surfaces with a dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Wood Care: The genuine wood components are durable. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity to preserve the wood's integrity and finish.

Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises:
- Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
- Verify that the wooden slats are properly seated and evenly distributed.
- Check if the mattress is causing the noise by removing it and testing the frame.
- Instability/Wobbling:
- Confirm that the bed frame is assembled on a level surface.
- Re-check all connections to ensure they are tight.
- Inspect the center support legs to ensure they are making firm contact with the floor.
- Missing or Damaged Parts:
- Do not attempt to force parts or use incorrect hardware.
- Contact Zinus customer support immediately for replacement parts.
