Operating Instructions
Using the Bunk Beds:

Built-in Desk and Light:

- To activate the integrated light strip, locate the power cord and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The light is controlled by an inline switch on the cord.
Storage Drawers:
- The two under-bed drawers are on wheels for easy access. Pull them out to store clothing, toys, books, or other items.
- Push them back in completely when not in use to keep the area tidy.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and ensure the safety of your Merax Bunk Bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe down metal and MDF surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary. Do not overtighten.
- Slats: Ensure bed slats are properly seated and not damaged. Replace any broken slats immediately.
- Light: If the integrated light stops working, check the power connection. If the light strip itself is damaged, contact customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to repair electrical components yourself.
Troubleshooting
