Operating Instructions

Folding the Bed (Cabinet Mode):

2. Grasp the handles located on the front of the bed frame.
3. Carefully lift the bed frame upwards, guiding it into the cabinet opening. The dual piston mechanism will assist in this movement.
4. Ensure the bed frame is fully retracted and securely latched into the cabinet.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections. Tighten any loose hardware to ensure stability and safety.
• Mechanism Lubrication: If the folding mechanism becomes stiff or noisy, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not place excessively heavy items on the adjustable shelves or the bed frame when folded or unfolded.
• Environmental Conditions: Keep the unit in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, which can affect the wood materials.

Troubleshooting

• Bed is difficult to fold/unfold:
  • Ensure no items are obstructing the mechanism or the bed's path.
  • Verify the mattress thickness does not exceed 8 inches.
  • Check if the dual piston mechanism is properly installed and functioning. Refer to the assembly manual.
  • Lubricate the moving parts of the mechanism if necessary.
• Bed feels unstable:
  • Confirm that the unit is securely anchored to the wall.
  • Check all assembly hardware for tightness and re-tighten if loose.
  • Ensure the support legs are fully extended and locked into place when the bed is unfolded.
