2. To Fold: Ensure the mattress is properly secured with the retaining straps. Lift the bed frame upwards from the bottom. The gas struts will assist in raising the bed smoothly into the vertical, stored position. Ensure it locks securely in place.

5.2 Using the Integrated Shelf and Drawers

The integrated shelf unit provides convenient storage for books, decor, or personal items. The drawers offer concealed storage. The unit also features a concealed pull-out table for additional workspace.

• Gas Struts: The gas struts are designed for long-term use. If you notice any difficulty in folding or unfolding the bed, or if the movement becomes uneven, contact customer support. Do not attempt to repair the gas struts yourself.
