Operating Instructions

Mattress Placement

Place your mattress directly onto the metal support slats. A 10-inch or 12-inch mattress is recommended to best showcase the headboard design.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Periodic Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Moving: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame or your flooring.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking Noises

If the bed frame produces squeaking noises, it is typically due to loose bolts.

1. Remove the mattress and carefully inspect all connection points.
2. Using the provided tool or an appropriate hex key, tighten all bolts securely. Do not overtighten.
3. Check that the support slats are evenly spaced and properly seated.

If squeaking persists, disassemble and reassemble the affected sections, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned before tightening.

Instability

If the frame feels unstable, ensure all bolts are fully tightened and that the frame is placed on a level surface. Verify that all parts are assembled according to the instructions.
