Care & Maintenance

In the unlikely event of missing or damaged parts, please contact your retailer. Please have this guide at hand quoting the part code reference numbers shown when requesting spare or replacement parts.

Warnings

  • Before moving the slat frame, place the mattress on the slats. Without a mattress in place, the speed of movement is quick and may cause injury so great care is needed.
  • Carefully lower the frame with the fabric hand-strap (10) ensuring the frame sides are aligned with the side panels; there should be an even gap on each side.
  • If not aligned, check bed is still square and if it is, but gaps are still not even, re-align.
  • Depending on the weight of the mattress, the rising speed will vary so be careful until you get used to the speed.
  • Always use the hand-strap to lift or lower the frame - keep fingers well away from the moving parts.
  • When fully assembled and the mattress in position, please raise & lower the ottoman 4/5 times to ensure the gas pistons are fully lubricated.
  • You must ensure that the mattress is on the bed frame before operating the lift mechanism Failure to do so could result in injury.
  • Keep hands clear of the mechanism when opening or closing the ottoman.
  • Beware of entrapment – Never reach in through the mechanism to access the storage area.
  • Always ensure that the ottoman is FULLY opened before accessing the storage area.
