Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, maintenance, and safety of your Flieks Twin Over Twin/King Bunk Beds with Trundle. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure safe and proper operation. Keep this manual for future reference.

- Ensure the bed frame is properly assembled according to the instructions provided. All bolts and screws must be securely tightened.
- Keep the bed frame away from heating vents, water sources, and other potential hazards.
- Inspect the bed frame regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and address any issues promptly to maintain the bed frame's stability and safety.
- The top bunk is not suitable for children under six years of age.

Package Contents
Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present and undamaged. Refer to the parts list provided in your packaging. Typically, the package includes:
- Upper and Lower Bed Frames
- Trundle Bed Frame
- Wooden Slats for all bed sections
- Ladder
- Guardrails
- Hardware (screws, bolts, nuts, washers, Allen wrench)
If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer support for assistance.
Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two adults. Clear a spacious area for assembly and keep all hardware out of reach of small children. Follow the step-by-step diagrams included in your product packaging for precise assembly.
- Prepare the Area: Unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Assemble the Lower Bed Frame: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard of the lower bed using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten until the frame is complete.
- Assemble the Upper Bed Frame: Similarly, assemble the upper bed frame, attaching the side rails to its headboard and footboard.
- Attach Guardrails and Ladder: Securely attach the guardrails to the upper bunk and install the ladder according to the diagrams.
- Connect Upper and Lower Bunks: Carefully lift and align the upper bunk onto the lower bunk, securing them with the designated bolts. This step often requires two people.
- Install Slats: Place and secure the wooden slats onto both the upper and lower bed frames. These slats provide mattress support, eliminating the need for a box spring.
- Assemble the Trundle Bed: Assemble the trundle frame, attaching its side rails and slats. The trundle is designed to slide underneath the lower bunk.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are assembled, go back and fully tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
Your Flieks bunk bed offers versatile sleeping arrangements.
Using the Trundle Bed
The trundle bed is designed to slide out from underneath the lower bunk, providing an additional sleeping space. It is equipped with wheels for easy movement.
- To deploy, gently pull the trundle bed frame outwards from under the lower bunk.
- To store, push the trundle bed frame back into its position under the lower bunk until it is fully recessed.

Converting the Lower Bunk to King Size
The lower bunk is designed to expand from a twin size to a king size, accommodating more sleepers. This feature allows the bed to accommodate up to 4 people.
- To expand, locate the extension mechanism on the lower bunk. Gently pull the designated section outwards. The bed will extend to a wider configuration.
- To return to twin size, push the extended section back into its original position.
Ensure the bed is fully locked in either the twin or king position before use.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your bunk bed.
- Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong chemical solutions, as these can damage the wood finish.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heat sources, which can cause fading or warping. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Slats Inspection: Regularly inspect the wooden slats for any signs of damage or cracking. Replace any damaged slats immediately.
