Quarte Multifunctional Full Size Murphy Bed Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The Quarte Multifunctional Full Size Murphy Bed is designed to maximize space in smaller living areas such as apartments or studios. This innovative bed system integrates a full-size bed that can be easily folded into a stylish cabinet when not in use, providing ample floor space for daily activities.

• Versatile Design: Seamlessly transforms from a comfortable full-size bed to a compact cabinet, optimizing room utility.
• Durable Construction: Features a robust metal bed frame and high-quality pine slats, ensuring stability and long-term durability. The folding mechanism is crafted for consistent use.
• Space-Saving Innovation: The cabinet design neatly accommodates the bed, including mattress and sheets, preventing bedding from shifting when folded.
• No Box Spring Required: Closely spaced wood slats provide direct support for various mattress types (latex, memory foam, spring), extending mattress life without the need for a box spring.

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or product damage.

• Two-Person Assembly: Assembly requires at least two adults due to the size and weight of components.
• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 1000 lbs (including mattress).
• Clearance: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for safe operation when folding and unfolding the bed.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the unit during operation to prevent pinching or injury.

4.1 Unfolding the Bed

1. Grasp Handles: Stand in front of the cabinet and firmly grasp both vertical handles on the front panel.
2. Pull Down: Gently pull the handles towards you and guide the bed downwards. The mechanism is designed to be light and assist in the lowering process.

2. Retract Legs: Unlock and fold the support legs back into their stored position against the bed frame.
3. Lift Bed: Grasp the foot of the bed frame and gently lift it upwards. The mechanism will assist in raising the bed.
4. Guide into Cabinet: Guide the bed smoothly back into the cabinet opening until it is fully upright and flush with the cabinet frame.
5. Secure: Ensure the bed is fully secured in the upright position. Some models may have latches or magnetic closures.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Quarte Murphy Bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.

• Mechanism Inspection: Inspect the folding mechanism for any signs of wear or obstruction. Keep the mechanism free of dust and debris.
• Lubrication: If the folding mechanism becomes stiff, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts may be beneficial. Do not over-lubricate.
