5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using the Storage Drawers

The bed frame includes two integrated storage drawers designed to slide smoothly on the floor beneath the bed. To open a drawer, gently pull the knob. To close, push the drawer back until it is flush with the bed frame. Avoid forcing the drawers if they encounter resistance.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Wipe the bed frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.

6.2 Fastener Checks

Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the bed's stability and structural integrity.

6.3 Drawer Care

Keep the drawer tracks free of debris to ensure smooth operation. If drawers become stiff, clean the tracks and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if needed.

7. Troubleshooting

• Bed feels wobbly: Check all bolts and screws. Re-tighten any loose fasteners. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.
• Drawers do not slide smoothly: Inspect the drawer tracks for obstructions or debris. Clean the tracks and ensure the drawers are properly aligned.
• Mattress gaps around the edges: This bed frame is designed for a standard Twin size mattress. If your mattress is smaller, there may be gaps. Consider adding a solid board or mattress topper to bridge small gaps if desired.
• Missing or damaged parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section and contact customer support for assistance.
