5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Adjusting Mattress Height

The Suite Bebe Winchester crib offers three adjustable mattress height settings to accommodate your child's growth and ensure safety.

1. Highest Position: For newborns and infants who cannot push up on their hands and knees. This position allows easier access to the baby.
2. Middle Position: For infants who can push up on their hands and knees, but cannot yet pull themselves to a standing position.
3. Lowest Position: For toddlers who can pull themselves to a standing position. This is the safest position to prevent climbing out.

To adjust the mattress height:

• Remove the mattress from the crib.
• Carefully detach the mattress support frame from the side rails.
• Re-attach the mattress support frame to the desired height setting, ensuring all four corners are securely fastened.
• Verify that the mattress support is level and stable before replacing the mattress.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and ensure the safety of your crib.

• Cleaning: Wipe the crib surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspections: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
• Storage: If storing the crib, disassemble it carefully and store all parts in a dry, temperate environment.
