2. Unfold Main Frame: The main metal frame is pre-assembled and folds out. Gently unfold the frame until it forms the full rectangular shape.
3. Insert Slats: Position the horizontal slats into the designated slots on the main frame. Ensure each slat is securely clicked into place.
4. Secure Corners: Use the provided corner fasteners to tighten and secure the four corners of the frame. These are typically hand-tightened.
5. Apply Fabric Cover: The two-piece fabric cover is labeled 'TOP' and 'BOTTOM'. Place the bottom piece over the assembled frame, then align and zip the top piece to fully enclose the frame.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your box spring:

• Cleaning the Cover: The two-piece fabric cover is removable and designed for convenient spot cleaning. Unzip the cover, remove it, and clean any soiled areas as needed. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check the metal frame and all connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Amazon Basics Smart Box Spring, consider the following:

• Squeaking Noises: Ensure all slats are fully seated and all corner fasteners are tightened. Loose connections can cause noise.
• Uneven Support: Verify that the box spring is placed on a flat, level bed frame. Check that all frame components are correctly assembled and not bent or damaged.
• Difficulty Zipping Cover: Ensure the fabric cover is correctly aligned with the frame. If the frame is not fully expanded or is uneven, it may cause tension on the zipper.
