Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required and should be performed by at least two adults. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the dedicated Installation Manual included with your product. Below are general guidelines and important considerations:

1. Preparation:
   • Clear a large, open area for assembly.
   • Unpack all boxes and lay out components, verifying against the parts list.
   • Gather necessary tools (e.g., Phillips head screwdriver, hammer, level, stud finder, power drill).
2. Cabinet Assembly:

   Begin by assembling the main cabinet structure. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels, especially those that will house the folding mechanism and top shelves.

5. Wall Anchoring:

   This is a critical step for safety. The Murphy bed MUST be securely anchored to a wall. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs and use appropriate hardware for your wall type. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional.

6. Final Checks:
   • Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened.
   • Test the folding mechanism slowly to ensure smooth operation.
   • Place your Queen size mattress (6-8 inches thick) onto the bed frame.

Operating Instructions

The DERCASS Murphy Bed is designed for ease of use. Always ensure the area around the bed is clear before operating.

To Extend the Bed (Unfold):

1. Ensure the area in front of the cabinet is clear of obstructions.
2. Gently pull the handles located on the front of the cabinet. The bed frame will begin to pivot downwards.
3. As the bed lowers, the support legs will automatically extend and flip down onto the floor. Guide the bed until it is fully extended and the legs are firmly on the ground.
4. Verify that the bed is stable before use.

To Retract the Bed (Fold Away):

1. Remove all bedding, pillows, and the mattress from the bed frame. (Note: Some thin bedding may be able to remain, but it's generally recommended to remove it for smooth operation).
2. Ensure the support legs are fully retracted or folded back into their storage position as you lift the bed.
3. Using the handles, gently lift the bed frame upwards. The dual piston mechanism will assist in the lifting process.
4. Guide the bed frame until it is fully vertical and securely latched into the cabinet.
5. Confirm the bed is fully closed and secured before leaving it unattended.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all screws, bolts, and connections. Tighten any loose hardware to ensure stability and safety.
• Mechanism Lubrication: The dual piston mechanism is generally maintenance-free. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noise, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points may be considered, but consult customer support first. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Slat Inspection: Check the wooden slats for any signs of damage or cracking. Replace any damaged slats immediately to maintain proper mattress support.
• USB Ports: Keep the USB ports clean and free of dust. Avoid inserting foreign objects.
