Operating Instructions
Using the Integrated USB Ports
The ZINUS Maddon Platform Bed features two integrated USB ports, one on each side of the headboard. These ports allow you to conveniently charge your electronic devices while relaxing in bed.

- Plug your device's USB charging cable into the port.
- Ensure the bed frame is properly connected to a power outlet for the USB ports to function.

Mattress Compatibility
The durable wood slats support and extend the life of your latex, memory foam, or spring mattress without the need for a box spring. The slats are spaced approximately 3.3 to 3.8 inches apart. A mattress height of 10 inches or less is recommended to ensure the headboard remains visible and to prevent entrapment.
Maintenance
Product Care Instructions
To maintain the upholstered fabric of your ZINUS Maddon Platform Bed, it is recommended to dry clean only. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the fabric or finish.
General Care
- Regularly inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid exposing the bed frame to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
- Squeaking Noises: If the bed frame begins to squeak, it is often due to loose connections.
- Check all bolts and screws, especially those connecting the side rails to the headboard and footboard, and the center support legs.
- Tighten any loose fasteners using the provided tools.
- Ensure the wood slats are properly seated and not shifting.
- Mattress Shifting: If your mattress tends to slide on the slats:
- Ensure the mattress is centered on the frame.
- Consider using a non-slip mattress pad between the mattress and the slats.
- USB Ports Not Functioning:
- Verify that the bed frame's power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Check the connection of the USB port wiring within the headboard, if accessible.
- Try a different USB cable or device to rule out issues with the cable or device itself.
Important Safety Information
To prevent entrapment, use a mattress no taller than 10 inches. This product is intended for adult use only. Always use appropriate bedding materials for infants and young children to minimize suffocation risks.
