• Keep the panel in the "unlock" state and fold the panels inward.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your playpen.

• Cleaning: The 300D Flax Fabric material can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before folding or storing to prevent mold or mildew.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all components for wear, tear, or damage. Check that all connectors are secure and the mesh is intact.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty during assembly: The poles are designed for a tight fit to ensure stability. Ensure all rods are correctly aligned and apply firm, even pressure when connecting. Refer to the assembly diagrams.
• Playpen feels unstable: Verify that all panel connectors are fully engaged and in the "lock" position. Ensure the playpen is on a flat, level surface.
• Child attempts to climb out: The playpen is 27 inches tall. Always supervise children. If a child is consistently attempting to climb, they may be too old or active for unsupervised use of the playpen.
• No cushioning on the floor: The playpen has an open-bottom design. For hard floors, it is highly recommended to place a soft, padded mat underneath for comfort and safety.
