5. Operating Instructions

This captain bed is designed for ease of use, offering both an additional sleeping surface and convenient storage.

• Using the Trundle Bed: To extend the trundle, gently pull the front panel of the trundle unit outwards from under the main bed. The smooth-rolling casters will allow it to slide out easily. To retract, push the trundle back into its position under the main bed until it is fully nested.
• Using the Storage Drawers: The three drawers are integrated into the trundle unit. To open, pull the knobs on the drawer fronts. To close, push them firmly until they are flush with the trundle unit. These drawers are ideal for storing bedding, clothes, or toys.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Aurelia Twin Captain Bed, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
• Humidity: Maintain a consistent humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting excessively.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Bed: If the bed feels wobbly after assembly, re-check all bolts and screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Sometimes, uneven flooring can also contribute; try repositioning the bed or using furniture pads.
• Trundle Not Sliding Smoothly: Check the casters for any obstructions (e.g., carpet fibers, debris). Ensure the casters are clean and properly aligned.
• Drawers Sticking: Verify that the drawer glides are correctly installed and free of debris. Ensure the drawers are not overloaded, which can cause them to stick.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, refer to the 'Package Contents' section and contact customer support immediately with the part number from your assembly manual.
