Operating Instructions

Using as a Bunk Bed:

Once assembled, ensure the bed is placed on a level surface. The wide ladder provides easy access to the top bunk. Always use the ladder for climbing up and down. The high guardrails on the top bunk are designed for safety and should never be removed or altered.

Converting to Two Individual Twin Beds:

The DORTALA Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed offers the flexibility to convert into two separate twin beds. To do this, carefully disassemble the bunk bed structure by reversing the assembly steps that connect the upper and lower bunks. Ensure you have all necessary hardware to reassemble the headboards and footboards for two standalone twin beds. Refer to your included assembly manual for specific conversion steps.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Structural Integrity: Inspect the wooden frame, slats, ladder, and guardrails for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.
• Environment: Keep the bed in a dry environment to prevent wood warping or damage from humidity.

Troubleshooting

Bed feels unstable or noisy:

• Check Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled according to the instruction manual.
• Tighten Hardware: Re-tighten all bolts and screws. Loose connections are a common cause of instability and noise. Do not overtighten.
• Level Surface: Ensure the bed is placed on a flat, level surface. Uneven flooring can cause wobbling.
• Inspect Slats: Verify that all wooden slats are properly seated and secured.

Missing or damaged parts:

• Refer to the "Warranty and Support" section to contact DORTALA customer service for assistance.
