Operating Instructions

The DERCASS Murphy Bed is designed for ease of use, allowing you to transition between a sofa and a bed effortlessly.

Deploying the Bed:

1. Ensure the area in front of the Murphy bed is clear of any obstructions, including the sofa cushions if necessary.
2. Gently pull on the handles located on the bed cabinet. The bed will begin to lower smoothly.
3. As the bed lowers, flip the support leg(s) down onto the floor to provide stable support.
4. Continue to lower the bed until it is fully horizontal and resting securely on its support legs.

2. Lift the bed frame from the foot end, guiding it upwards.
3. As the bed rises, fold the support leg(s) back into their stowed position.
4. Continue to lift the bed until it is fully vertical and securely latched within the cabinet. Ensure the latches engage properly.
