5. Operating Instructions
The Zinus Elias bed frame is designed to support your mattress directly, eliminating the need for a box spring. Simply place your 160 x 190 cm mattress directly onto the metal slats.

6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Tightness Check: Periodically (every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they are still tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Movement: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame or your flooring.
7. Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises:
- Squeaking is often caused by loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure the mattress is properly seated on the slats. If squeaking persists, check for any uneven surfaces under the bed legs.
- Missing Parts:
- If any parts are missing upon unboxing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Zinus customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts.
- Instability:
- Ensure all legs are firmly on the ground and all connections are securely tightened. Verify that the bed frame is on a level surface.
