Operating Instructions

Adjusting Height

The bassinet offers 5 adjustable height settings (ranging from 26.5" to 30.5") to align with various bed heights for co-sleeping convenience.

1. Locate the height adjustment mechanism on the bassinet legs.
2. Press the release buttons or levers (refer to specific mechanism on your model) and slide the legs up or down to the desired height.
3. Ensure both sides are adjusted to the same height and securely locked in place before use.

Mobility and Positioning

The Flora Bassinet is designed for easy movement and flexible positioning.

• Wheels: The front legs are equipped with wheels, allowing you to easily move the bassinet within a room. Lift the rear legs slightly to engage the wheels for movement.
• Bedside Co-sleeping: The bassinet's legs can fold inwards, allowing it to be positioned closer to your bed mattress for easy access to your baby during the night.

Folding for Storage or Travel

For compact storage or travel, the bassinet can be easily folded and placed into the included carry bag.

1. Remove the mattress pad from the bassinet.
2. Disengage the frame locking mechanisms (reverse assembly steps).

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your bassinet.

• Cleaning Fabric: The fabric bassinet basket features easy-to-clean zippered sections. Unzip and remove the fabric for spot cleaning or hand washing with mild soap and cold water. Air dry thoroughly. Do not bleach.
• Cleaning Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame dry with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Mattress Pad: The mattress pad can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting into the bassinet.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure. Inspect the mesh for any tears or damage.

Troubleshooting

• Bassinet feels unstable: Ensure all frame components are fully extended and locked into place. Check that the height adjustment mechanisms on both sides are securely engaged at the same level.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding: Ensure all fabric attachments are unzipped or unfastened as needed. Refer to the setup instructions in reverse for folding. Do not force components.
• Squeaking noise: Check all connection points and ensure they are clean and properly assembled. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant (avoiding contact with fabric or infant) may be applied to pivot points if necessary.
• Parts missing or damaged: Do not use the bassinet. Contact Dream On Me customer support for assistance and replacement parts.
