Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your GFW Side Lift Ottoman Storage Bed arrives ready to assemble. Follow the included instructions carefully for optimal results.
- Unpack All Components: Lay out all parts and hardware. Verify against the parts list in the manual.
- Assemble Frame: Construct the bed frame according to the step-by-step diagrams. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
- Install Gas Hydraulic System: Mount the gas struts. Ensure they are correctly oriented and securely fastened. Caution: Gas struts can be stiff initially. It may require some force to compress them when lowering the base for the first time, especially if no mattress is present.
- Choose Lift Side: Utilize the color-coded holes to decide whether the bed will lift from the left or right side of the bed. This is a crucial step that needs to be decided during frame assembly.
- Place Lined Base: Insert the fabric base lining into the storage compartment.
- Add Mattress: Once the frame is fully assembled, place your mattress onto the bed base. The weight of the mattress helps the gas lift system function optimally.
Compatibility
- This bed frame is designed to accommodate standard mattress sizes. Ensure your mattress dimensions match the bed frame size (e.g., Single, Double, King).
- The faux leather/PU finish integrates well with a variety of bedroom decor styles, particularly modern or minimalist aesthetics.
Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the faux leather/PU fabric with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately wipe dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxing polishes, as these can damage the fabric finish.
- Protect from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or cracking over time.
- Gas Strut Maintenance: Periodically check the gas struts for smooth operation. Do not attempt to lubricate or dismantle them. If they fail, contact customer service for replacements.
