• Crib Components (Side rails, end panels, mattress support)

4. Assembly Instructions

Detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions are included in the product packaging. Please refer to that document for specific diagrams and hardware identification. The following provides general guidance:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
2. Identify Hardware: Match all hardware pieces with the illustrations in the included manual.
3. Assemble End Panels: Attach the side rails to the end panels using the provided hardware.
4. Install Mattress Support: Secure the mattress support to the side rails at the desired height (refer to Section 5 for height adjustment).
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are assembled, ensure all screws and bolts are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

Important: Due to its assembled dimensions, it is recommended to assemble the crib in the room where it will be used to avoid difficulty moving it through doorways.

5. Operating Instructions: Adjustable Mattress Height

The DaVinci Marley Crib features four adjustable mattress height positions to accommodate your child's growth and ensure safety. Adjust the mattress support to the appropriate level based on your child's developmental stage.

Image 5.1: This diagram illustrates the crib's overall dimensions (53.75"L x 29.75"W x 35"H) and indicates the four adjustable mattress height positions suitable for a newborn, when the baby can roll over, sit up, and stand.

• Highest Position: For newborns and infants who cannot push up on hands and knees. This position allows easier access to your baby.
• Upper-Middle Position: For infants who can push up on hands and knees or roll over.
• Lower-Middle Position: For infants who can sit up unassisted.
• Lowest Position: For toddlers who can pull themselves to a standing position. This is the safest position to prevent climbing out.

To adjust the mattress height, you will need to remove the mattress, detach the mattress support from the side rails, reposition it to the desired height, and re-secure it with the appropriate hardware. Always ensure all connections are tight before placing your child back in the crib.

6. Conversion Instructions

The DaVinci Marley Crib is designed to convert into a toddler bed and a daybed, extending its usability as your child grows.

Image 6.1: This image displays the three configurations of the DaVinci Marley Crib: full-size crib, toddler bed (requiring a conversion kit), and daybed.

6.1. Converting to a Toddler Bed

To convert the crib into a toddler bed, you will need the DaVinci Toddler Conversion Kit (Model #W4099), which is sold separately. Refer to the instructions included with the conversion kit for detailed steps.

2. Remove one of the long side rails of the crib.

6.2. Converting to a Daybed

1. Ensure the mattress support is in the lowest position.
2. Remove the toddler safety rail (if previously installed).
3. The crib will now function as a daybed with one open side.
4. Verify all remaining connections are secure.

7. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and safety of your DaVinci Marley Crib.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish or compromise the wood.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and other hardware to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten as needed.
• Storage: If storing the crib, do so in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Disassemble the crib if storing for an extended period, following the reverse of the assembly instructions.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the crib to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can cause warping or cracking of the wood.
