3. Install Door Frame: Integrate the door frame section into one of the side panels as indicated in the assembly diagram. Secure it with the appropriate hardware.

5. Operating Instructions

The Bellemave Montessori Floor Bed is designed for ease of use and child independence.

• Placing the Mattress: Place a standard full-size mattress directly onto the floor within the bed frame. The low height allows children to easily get in and out.
• Using the Door: The integrated door can be opened and closed to allow access. Use the latch to secure the door when the child is sleeping or playing inside to ensure safety.
• Multi-functional Use: Beyond sleeping, the enclosed space can serve as a safe play area, reading nook, or quiet space for your child.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your floor bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the wood 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 maintain stability and safety.
• Wood Care: Keep the bed away from extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading of the wood.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Bed feels wobbly: Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Check that the bed is on a level surface.
• Door does not close smoothly: Check hinges for proper alignment. Ensure no debris is obstructing the door's path or the latch mechanism.
• Squeaking noises: Identify the source of the noise and tighten the corresponding hardware. Applying a small amount of lubricant to metal-on-metal connections (if applicable) may help.
