1. Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Vente-unique HESTIA Storage Bed.

Please read this manual carefully before beginning assembly or using the product to ensure safe and proper functionality.

2. Safety Warnings

• Maximum Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum supported load of 200 kg on the bed frame. Overloading can cause damage to the product and pose a safety risk.
• Assembly Caution: Assemble the product with extreme caution, strictly following all provided instructions. Incorrect assembly can lead to instability and potential injury.
• Cleaning: Always clean the product with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the material and finish.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the bed frame during assembly and when operating the lifting mechanism to prevent pinching or injury.

3. Setup and Assembly

Your HESTIA Storage Bed requires self-assembly. Please ensure you have sufficient space and all necessary tools before starting. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

3.1. Unpacking and Inspection

Upon delivery, verify that you have received the correct number of packages. Your order should include:

• Package 1: Length 202 cm, Width 33 cm, Height 13 cm, Weight 31 kg
• Package 2: Length 205 cm, Width 163 cm, Height 8 cm, Weight 39 kg

Carefully unpack all components and check them against the parts list provided in your assembly guide (not included in this manual, refer to the physical guide that came with your product). Report any missing or damaged parts immediately to customer service.

3.2. Assembly Steps

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious area for assembly, preferably near the final placement of the bed.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions in your physical assembly manual to construct the main bed frame from the MDF and wood-derived panels. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Gas Pistons: Carefully attach the gas pistons to the designated points on the frame and the lifting mechanism. These pistons facilitate the effortless opening and closing of the storage compartment.
4. Attach the Stop Bar: Install the stop bar as indicated in the manual. This bar helps secure the mattress in place when the bed is lifted.
5. Secure the Top Section: Attach the top section of the bed frame, which features a 3D fabric for better aeration, to the gas piston mechanism. Ensure it is properly aligned and secured.
6. Final Checks: Once assembled, gently test the lifting mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Verify that all screws and fittings are tightened.

4. Operating Instructions

The HESTIA Storage Bed is designed for easy access to its ample storage space through a vertical opening system powered by gas pistons.

4.1. Opening the Storage Compartment

1. Ensure there is no excessive weight on the bed (e.g., people sitting or heavy objects).
2. Locate the handle or designated lifting point at the foot end of the bed.
3. Grasp the handle firmly and gently lift the bed frame upwards. The gas pistons will assist in the lifting, making the process effortless.
4. Continue lifting until the bed top reaches its fully open position. The mechanism is designed to hold the storage compartment open securely, allowing hands-free access.

4.2. Closing the Storage Compartment

1. Ensure no items are obstructing the closing path of the bed top.
2. Grasp the handle or lifting point and gently pull the bed top downwards.
3. Apply slight downward pressure to overcome the gas piston resistance until the bed top is fully closed and rests securely on the frame.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your HESTIA Storage Bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fittings to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Gas Pistons: The gas pistons are designed for long-term use and generally require no maintenance. If you notice any difficulty in lifting or closing, or if the bed top does not stay open, contact customer support. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble the pistons.
• Ventilation: The 3D fabric on the top of the bed is designed for better aeration. Ensure the storage compartment is not overfilled to allow for proper air circulation.
