4. Assembly Instructions

This bed requires self-assembly. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Clear a spacious area and lay out all components on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Compare them with the parts list in your hardware pack to ensure everything is present.
2. Assemble the Bed Frame: Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten screws until the frame is stable.
3. Attach Support Legs: Securely fasten the support legs to the bed frame as indicated in the diagrams.
4. Install the Slatted Base: Carefully place the slatted base with its lifting mechanism into the assembled bed frame. Secure it according to the specific instructions for the lifting mechanism. Ensure the gas lifts are correctly installed and functional.
5. Final Tightening: Once the entire frame and slatted base are in place, fully tighten all screws and bolts.

5. Operating Instructions (Storage Function)

The VANARI bed features a convenient under-bed storage compartment accessible via a gas-lift mechanism.

1. Accessing Storage: To open the storage compartment, remove the mattress from the bed. Grasp the handle or edge of the slatted base firmly and lift upwards. The gas-lift mechanism will assist in raising and holding the base in an open position.
2. Placing Items: Place items evenly within the storage compartment. Avoid overloading or placing heavy items directly on the lifting mechanism.
3. Closing Storage: To close, firmly pull the slatted base downwards. The gas-lift mechanism will offer resistance, allowing for a controlled descent. Ensure the base is fully lowered and securely seated before placing the mattress back on.

Important: Always ensure the mattress is removed before lifting the slatted base to prevent damage to the mechanism and for easier operation. Do not force the mechanism if it feels stiff; check for obstructions.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your bed.

• Fabric Care: The bed is upholstered in 100% polyester fabric. For general cleaning, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner suitable for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Frame Care: Wipe the wooden feet and any exposed frame parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Mechanism Check: Periodically check the gas-lift mechanism and all fasteners for tightness. Re-tighten any loose screws as needed.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the storage compartment to prevent moisture buildup.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VANARI storage bed, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Check all frame connections and ensure screws are tight. Lubricate any moving metal parts of the slatted base mechanism with a silicone-based spray if necessary.
• Difficulty Lifting/Lowering the Base: Ensure the mattress has been removed. Check that the gas lifts are correctly installed and not obstructed. If the mechanism feels unusually stiff or weak, contact customer support.
• Bed Feels Unstable: Re-check all assembly points and ensure all hardware is fully tightened. Verify that the bed is on a level surface.
