Operating Instructions

Crib Mattress Height Adjustment

The crib mattress support can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate your child's growth. Always use the lowest position once your child can sit up unassisted or pull themselves to a standing position.

1. Remove the mattress and bedding from the crib.
2. Carefully loosen the bolts securing the mattress support frame to the end panels.
3. Adjust the mattress support to the desired height. Ensure all four corners are at the same level.
4. Retighten all bolts securely. Do not overtighten.

Crib Conversion (4-in-1)

The SOHO crib converts into a toddler bed, day bed, and full-size bed. Conversion kits are sold separately.

• Toddler Bed Conversion: Remove one of the crib side rails and replace it with the Child Craft Toddler Guard Rail (Model F09544.46, sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the guard rail.
• Day Bed Conversion: Remove one of the crib side rails. No additional parts are typically required for day bed conversion, but ensure the mattress support is at the lowest position.
• Full-Size Bed Conversion: This conversion requires the Child Craft Hollywood Bed Frame (Model F06402.44, sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the bed frame to attach the crib end panels as a headboard and footboard.

Dresser Drawer Usage

The dresser features three spacious drawers with ball-bearing metal glides for smooth operation. To open, gently pull the knob/pull. To close, push firmly until the drawer is fully seated. Avoid forcing drawers open or closed.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the furniture surfaces with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections on both the crib and dresser to ensure they remain tight. Loose hardware can compromise safety.
• Storage: If storing the furniture, disassemble it carefully and store all parts and hardware in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.

Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Crib/Dresser: Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, paying close attention to alignment.
• Drawers Not Closing Smoothly or Falling Off Glides:
  • Check that the drawer glides are properly aligned and securely attached to both the dresser frame and the drawer box.
  • Ensure no objects are obstructing the glides or preventing the drawer from closing fully.
  • Verify that the drawer is not overloaded, which can cause misalignment.
  • If the glides appear damaged, contact Child Craft for replacement parts.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unboxing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Child Craft customer service immediately.
