Operating Instructions

The SOFTSEA Murphy Bed is designed for easy and safe operation. Always ensure the area is clear before folding or unfolding the bed.

To Unfold the Bed:

1. Ensure the area in front of the cabinet is clear of obstructions.
2. Gently pull the bed handle downwards. The bed will begin to descend smoothly.
3. Guide the bed down until the legs fully extend and rest securely on the floor.
4. Adjust bedding as needed.

To Fold the Bed:

1. Remove all bedding, pillows, and mattresses that are not specifically designed to remain on the bed when folded.
2. Lift the bed frame from the foot end. The spring or piston mechanism will assist in lifting.
3. Guide the bed upwards until it is fully vertical and securely latched into the cabinet. Ensure the legs are retracted.
4. Close any cabinet doors if applicable.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and ensure the safe operation of your Murphy bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all screws, bolts, and connections. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Mechanism Inspection: Check the folding mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice unusual noises or resistance, discontinue use and contact customer support. Do not attempt to lubricate or repair the mechanism yourself unless specifically instructed.
