Setup and Inflation

- Locate Pump: Identify the integrated electric pump on the side of the air bed.
- Plug In: Connect the power cord of the integrated pump to a standard electrical outlet.
- Inflate: Turn the rotary switch on the pump to the "INFLATE" position. The air bed will begin to inflate automatically.
- Monitor Inflation: The air bed will fully inflate in approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Monitor the firmness and turn the switch to "OFF" once the desired firmness is reached. Do not over-inflate.

Operating and Deflation
Adjusting Firmness
The air bed's firmness can be adjusted during inflation. For a softer feel, stop inflation earlier. For a firmer feel, allow the pump to run longer, but always ensure not to over-inflate beyond the bed's capacity.
Deflation and Storage
- Plug In: Connect the power cord of the integrated pump to an electrical outlet.
- Deflate: Turn the rotary switch on the pump to the "DEFLATE" position. The pump will begin to extract air from the mattress.
- Complete Deflation: Allow the pump to run until all air is removed and the mattress is flat. This typically takes 3 to 5 minutes.
- Unplug: Disconnect the power cord and store it in its compartment.
- Fold and Store: Carefully fold the deflated air bed and place it into the provided carry bag for compact storage.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the air bed, wipe the flocked surface and PVC sides with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the air bed is completely dry before storing.
Repairing Punctures
In case of a small puncture, use the included repair kit. Clean the area around the puncture, apply the patch according to the repair kit instructions, and allow sufficient time for it to cure before re-inflating the bed.
Troubleshooting
- Air Bed Not Inflating:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Check that the rotary switch on the pump is set to the "INFLATE" position.
- Verify there are no obstructions in the pump's air intake or output.
- Air Bed Not Holding Air / Losing Firmness:
- Inspect the entire surface of the air bed for any punctures or leaks. Use soapy water to identify small leaks (bubbles will form).
- Ensure the pump's rotary switch is fully in the "OFF" position after inflation to seal the air.
- Check the valve cap (if applicable) for a secure seal.
- Note that PVC material can stretch slightly during initial uses, which may give the impression of air loss. Re-inflate as needed.
- Pump Not Working:
- Check the power supply.
- Ensure the pump has not overheated. If it has, unplug it and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before attempting to use it again.
