3. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the Bellemave Full Over Full Bunk Bed is required. It is recommended to have at least two adults for assembly. Please ensure you have sufficient space and all components are present before starting.

Before You Begin:

• Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in your separate assembly instruction booklet.
• Clear a large, open area for assembly.
• Gather necessary tools. A power Allen key is highly recommended to expedite the process, as there are numerous fasteners.
• Do not fully tighten any bolts until the entire structure is assembled, unless specifically instructed. This allows for minor adjustments.

Assembly Steps:

Refer to the detailed, step-by-step assembly instruction booklet provided with your product. The booklet contains diagrams and specific guidance for each stage of construction.

1. Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main frame components for both the upper and lower bunks.

3. Ladder Attachment: Mount the inclined ladder to the designated side of the bunk bed. Ensure it is stable and firmly attached.
4. Slide Installation: Attach the slide to the bunk bed structure. Verify all connections are tight and the slide is stable.
5. Slat Placement: Install the wooden slats onto both the upper and lower bed platforms. Ensure even spacing and secure attachment.
6. Upholstered Headboard: Attach the upholstered headboard panel to the upper bunk as per instructions.
7. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.

4. Operating Instructions

This section outlines the proper and safe use of your Bellemave Full Over Full Bunk Bed.

Using the Bunk Beds:

• Upper Bunk: The upper bunk is intended for sleeping. Ensure the mattress used fits snugly within the guard rails and does not exceed the maximum recommended thickness to maintain guard rail effectiveness.
• Lower Bunk: The lower bunk can be used for sleeping with a mattress or as a lounge area.
• Guard Rails: Always ensure guard rails are properly installed and secured on the upper bunk. Do not remove them.

Using the Ladder:

• Use the ladder to access and exit the upper bunk.
• Always face the ladder when climbing up or down.
• Ensure hands and feet are clean and dry to prevent slipping.
• Do not jump onto or off the ladder.

Using the Slide:

• The slide is designed for single-person use at a time.
• Always slide feet first, in a seated position.
• Ensure the landing area at the bottom of the slide is clear of obstructions before use.
• Supervise children during slide use.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and ensure the safety of your Bellemave bunk bed.

• Cleaning Wood Surfaces: Wipe wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Cleaning Upholstered Headboard: For the upholstered headboard, spot clean with a mild fabric cleaner as needed. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically (e.g., monthly) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections. Tighten any that have become loose. Do not overtighten.
• Structural Integrity: Regularly check for any signs of wear, damage, or instability in the frame, slats, ladder, or slide. Discontinue use if damage is found and contact customer support.
• Environment: Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause wood to dry out or warp. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or use.

Assembly Issues:

• Parts Don't Align: If components do not seem to fit or holes don't align, ensure you are using the correct parts for that step and that they are oriented correctly. Loosen previously tightened fasteners to allow for slight adjustments, then re-tighten.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Bellemave customer support immediately for replacements.
• Loose Dowels: If dowels fit too loosely, a small amount of wood glue can be applied to secure them, but ensure this does not interfere with other connections.

Operational Issues:

• Bed Feels Unstable: Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened. Check that the bed is placed on a level surface. If instability persists, disassemble and reassemble carefully, verifying each connection.
• Slide is Too Fast: The slide's speed can vary based on clothing material and user weight. Ensure proper supervision and instruct users to maintain a seated position.
