• Do not allow children to play on or around the hydraulic lift mechanism.
• When lifting the bed base, ensure hands and fingers are clear of pinch points.
• The hydraulic system is designed to hold the bed base in the raised position. Do not attempt to force it down.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 500 kg for the bed frame.
• Keep small parts out of reach of children during assembly to prevent choking hazards.

3. Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all components listed below are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact customer support.

• Bed frame components (metal frame, wooden slats)
• Upholstered headboard
• Hydraulic lift mechanism (gas springs, locking system)
• Accessory pack (screws, bolts, tools, foam pads)
• Assembly instructions manual

4. Setup & Assembly

Assembly of this bed frame is designed to be straightforward with clear, illustrated instructions and labeled parts. Two people can typically assemble the frame in approximately one hour.

4.1. Preparation

• Clear a spacious area for assembly.
• Unpack all components and lay them out, checking against the parts list.
• Ensure you have the necessary tools (usually included in the accessory pack).

4.2. Assembly Steps

1. Assemble the Bed Frame Base: Follow the provided diagrams to connect the metal frame sections. Ensure all connections are firm.
2. Install the Wooden Slats: Secure the wooden slatted base onto the frame. The foam pads should be attached to the structure to eliminate friction noise.
3. Attach the Headboard: Connect the upholstered headboard to the main bed frame.
4. Install the Hydraulic Lift System: Carefully attach the hydraulic gas springs and the damping device according to the instructions. This system ensures stable and smooth movements when lifting the bed base.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Using the Hydraulic Lift System

The bed frame is equipped with a hydraulic lift system for easy access to the under-bed storage. The integrated damping device ensures smooth and controlled movement, while the cylinder locking system keeps the bed base securely in the raised position.

1. To Lift: Grasp the handle or edge of the bed base and lift upwards. The hydraulic system will assist in raising the base smoothly. Continue lifting until the safety lock engages, holding the base in the fully open position.
2. To Lower: Gently disengage the safety lock (if applicable, refer to specific mechanism in your manual) and apply slight downward pressure. The hydraulic system will control the descent, preventing rapid drops. Ensure the area beneath the bed is clear before lowering.

The integrated damping device and safety lock are visible, designed to prevent accidental lowering and ensure stable operation. The system is tested for 3500 cycles.

5.2. Hydraulic System Test

It is important to test the hydraulic system correctly after assembly.

• Pre-installation Test: The hydraulic lever cannot be tested independently before the bed frame is fully assembled.
• Post-installation Test: After installing the bed frame and placing the mattress, lightly press down on the bed base to test its functionality. The system should operate smoothly.

Figure 5: This diagram provides instructions for testing the hydraulic lift system. It clarifies that the hydraulic lever cannot be tested independently before installation. After installation and placing the mattress, the system should be lightly pressed to test its functionality.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

• Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Upholstery: The headboard features removable and washable padding. Detach the padding (secured with hook-and-loop fasteners) and follow the care instructions on the fabric label for cleaning.

6.2. General Care

• Periodically check all fasteners and re-tighten if they become loose.
• Ensure the foam pads on the structure are intact to maintain quiet operation.
• Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Bed frame feels unstable or cannot be assembled solidly.
  Solution: Double-check all connections and ensure every screw and bolt is fully tightened according to the instructions. Verify that no parts are missing or incorrectly installed. If a part is defective (e.g., missing screw threads), contact customer support for replacement.
• Issue: Bed frame makes creaking noises.
  Solution: Ensure all fasteners are tight. Check if the foam pads on the structure are correctly placed and not damaged. Loose connections or missing pads can cause friction noise.
• Issue: Hydraulic lift system is difficult to activate or seems stiff.
  Solution: The hydraulic system may require initial force to activate, especially when new. After assembly and placing the mattress, you may need to pull or push with significant strength a few times to get the system moving smoothly. It will become easier after several movements. Ensure the mattress is on the bed when testing, as the weight of the mattress is necessary for the hydraulics to function as intended.
• Issue: Bed base does not stay in the raised position.
  Solution: Ensure the safety lock mechanism is fully engaged when the bed base is lifted. If the lock is not engaging, inspect the hydraulic cylinders and the locking mechanism for any obstructions or damage.
