Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the SHA CERLIN bed frame is designed to be straightforward. We recommend two people for assembly to ensure ease and safety. All necessary tools and hardware are provided.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the labels and the provided parts list in your manual.
2. Assemble the Frame: Follow the step-by-step diagrams in your manual to connect the side rails, footboard, and headboard supports. Ensure all bolts are finger-tightened initially.
3. Attach the Headboard: Secure the headboard to the frame. The headboard is adjustable; ensure it is set to your desired height before fully tightening.
4. Install the Slats: Position the wooden slats across the frame. The slats are designed with velcro to secure them in place, reducing movement and noise. Ensure they are evenly spaced and firmly attached.
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, go back and fully tighten all bolts and screws using the provided tools. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Headboard Height

The headboard offers three adjustable height options to suit your preference and mattress thickness. To adjust:

1. Loosen the bolts connecting the headboard to the frame supports.
2. Carefully raise or lower the headboard to one of the three pre-drilled positions.
3. Ensure the headboard is level and re-tighten all bolts securely.

Recommended mattress thickness is between 8-12 inches for optimal headboard appearance and comfort.

Utilizing Under-Bed Storage

The bed frame provides approximately 7.9 inches of clearance beneath the side panels. This space is ideal for storing boxes, seasonal items, or for easy access by robotic vacuum cleaners, helping to maintain a tidy bedroom environment.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your SHA CERLIN bed frame.

Velvet Upholstery Care:

• Regular Cleaning: Gently vacuum the velvet upholstery with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild upholstery cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Position your bed away from direct sun or use curtains/blinds.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong chemical solvents, as these can damage the velvet fabric.

Frame and Slats Care:

• Wipe Down: Clean metal and wood components with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws and re-tighten them as needed to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep the bed frame dry to prevent damage to wood and metal components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Carefully inspect all bolts and screws, especially those connecting the side rails, headboard, and footboard, and tighten them securely. Ensure slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.
• Instability/Wobbling: If the bed frame feels unstable, re-check all assembly points. Ensure all components are correctly aligned and all hardware is fully tightened. Verify that the bed is on a level surface.
• Headboard Adjustment Issues: If the headboard is difficult to adjust, ensure the connecting bolts are sufficiently loosened. Do not force the adjustment; if resistance is met, re-check alignment.

If problems persist after following these steps, please contact customer support.
