5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Cot Usage

• Adjusting Cot Base Height: The cot base has two height settings. For infants, use the higher setting to easily lift and place the baby. As the child grows and can sit up or pull themselves up, lower the base to prevent climbing out. Refer to assembly instructions for changing the base height.
• Removing Cot Side: When your child is old enough to climb in and out of the cot independently, one side can be removed to convert it into a toddler bed. Follow the specific instructions for safe removal and re-attachment of the side.

5.2 Mattress Usage

• The mattress has two different surfaces: one wavy side with medium-firm comfort and one smooth side which is firmer. Choose the side that best suits your child's comfort preference.
• Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the cot frame to prevent gaps.

5.3 Changing Table Usage

• When using as a changing table, ensure the leaf is securely fixed in the folded down position.
• Always keep one hand on your baby while using the changing table.
• The practical storage space allows you to keep changing essentials within close reach.
• Conversion to Chest of Drawers: Once your child no longer requires a changing table, fold in the leaf and secure it with the included fitting to convert the unit into a chest of drawers for long-term use.
