Safety Information
Adhere to the following safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Ensure the bed is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent instability and potential tipping.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 250 pounds for the bed frame. This limit applies to the combined weight of the mattress and occupants.
- Keep small children and pets away from the storage drawers during opening and closing to avoid pinching.
- Avoid standing or jumping on the bed frame, as this can compromise its structural integrity.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the wood finish. Refer to the "Maintenance and Care" section for cleaning instructions.
- Periodically check all connections and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
Setup
While the Sauder Harvey Park Storage Mates Bed is designed for minimal assembly, proper setup is crucial for stability and longevity.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging materials until setup is complete.
- Location Selection: Choose a suitable location for the bed. Ensure there is adequate space around the bed, especially for opening the storage drawers. The surface should be flat and level.
- Positioning the Bed Base: With assistance, carefully lift and place the bed base in the desired location. Avoid dragging the unit, as this may damage the floor or the bed frame.
- Drawer Insertion: Gently slide the storage drawers into their designated compartments under the bed base. Ensure they glide smoothly and are fully seated.
- Mattress Placement: Once the bed base is securely in place, carefully position your queen-sized mattress on top of the bed base.
Operating Instructions
The Sauder Harvey Park Storage Mates Bed features integrated storage drawers for convenient organization.
- Opening Drawers: To open a storage drawer, gently pull the handle outwards. Ensure the path is clear to avoid obstruction.
- Closing Drawers: To close a storage drawer, push it inwards until it is fully recessed into the bed frame. Avoid forcing the drawer if it encounters resistance.
- Storage Capacity: The drawers are designed for lightweight items such as linens, clothing, or books. Do not overload the drawers, as this can strain the drawer slides and affect their smooth operation.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Sauder Harvey Park Storage Mates Bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not allow liquids to sit on the surface, as this can cause damage to the engineered wood.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
- Heat Sources: Keep the bed away from direct heat sources like radiators or heating vents, as extreme temperature changes can cause warping or cracking.
- Drawer Maintenance: Periodically check the drawer slides for debris and clean if necessary to ensure smooth operation.
