Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

• Always use caution when folding and unfolding the bed to avoid injury. Ensure hands and fingers are clear of moving parts.

• Use only the mattress size specified (Queen) and ensure it fits properly within the bed frame.
• Regularly inspect all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Merax Queen Murphy Cabinet Bed requires careful attention to detail. A comprehensive step-by-step instruction guide with diagrams is included in your package. Please follow these instructions precisely.

1. Preparation: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Lay out all parts and hardware, comparing them against the included parts list.
2. Frame Assembly: Follow the guide to assemble the main cabinet frame. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten until instructed.
3. Bed Mechanism Installation: Install the folding bed mechanism according to the instructions. Pay close attention to the orientation of parts.
4. Slat Installation: Secure the wooden slats to the bed frame. These provide mattress support and eliminate the need for a box spring.
5. Wall Anchoring: This is a critical safety step. Securely anchor the cabinet to a wall stud using the provided hardware. This prevents the unit from tipping over when the bed is opened or closed.
6. Final Checks: Once assembled, double-check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Test the folding mechanism slowly to ensure smooth operation.

Note: Two people are recommended for assembly due to the size and weight of the components.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your Merax Murphy Cabinet Bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, then immediately wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Mechanism Inspection: Inspect the folding mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it operates smoothly. If you notice any stiffness or unusual noises, contact customer service.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause wood to warp or fade. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Merax Queen Murphy Cabinet Bed, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Bed does not fold/unfold smoothly: Ensure no bedding or objects are obstructing the mechanism. Check that all assembly hardware is properly tightened and that the unit is level.
