This document provides assembly instructions and care guidelines for a full bed. It is designed to assist users in quickly and correctly assembling their product and maintaining its quality over time.
Function Description:
The primary function of this document is to guide an adult through the assembly of a full-sized bed. It includes visual diagrams and step-by-step instructions to ensure proper construction. Beyond assembly, it also serves as a comprehensive guide for the care and maintenance of fine wood furniture, specifically addressing environmental factors, common issues like sticking drawers, and general cleaning practices to prolong the life and appearance of the bed.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Assembly Requirement: Adult assembly is required.
- Small Parts Warning: Small parts may present a choking hazard prior to assembly.
- Tools Required (Not Provided):
- Philips Head screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Hammer
- Hardware Provided: 20 screws (1-1/4" length), labeled as 'C'.
- Bed Components (Parts Enclosed in Carton):
- 'A' components: 2 pieces (likely the main side rails or structural elements).
- 'B' components: 8 pieces (likely slats or support beams).
- Power Tools Restriction: Do not use power drills or drivers during assembly to prevent damage to parts.
- Trundle Bed: The trundle bed is explicitly stated as "NOT INCLUDED."
Usage Features:
- Step-by-Step Assembly: The manual provides a clear, two-step assembly process with corresponding diagrams.
- Visual Guidance: Illustrations show how the bed rails connect to the headboard and footboard, and how the slats are installed.
- Locking Mechanism Note: Emphasizes ensuring bed rails are locked in place before proceeding to the next step, indicating a secure connection mechanism for the rails.
- Model Variation: States that the "Model shown is example only. Styles may vary," suggesting that the core assembly process is consistent across different aesthetic variations of the full bed.
- Soft Surface Recommendation: Advises placing parts on a soft surface during assembly to protect them from damage.
Maintenance Features:
The manual provides extensive guidance on furniture care, categorized into several key areas:
- Room Climate Control:
- Wood Properties: Explains that wood is porous and responds to environmental humidity, expanding with high humidity and shrinking with low humidity.
- Humidity Levels: Recommends controlling room humidity to prevent damage.
- Placement Restrictions: Advises against placing furniture near air-conditioning outlets, fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers, as extreme temperature and humidity variations can harm fine wood.
- Ideal Environment for Fine Furniture:
- Temperature & Humidity: Suggests maintaining a room temperature between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit (18-24 degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity between 35-40 percent to minimize problems like shrinking, expanding, or cracking.
- Sticking Doors and Drawers (Applicable to furniture with these features, though not directly to the bed itself):
- Cause: Explains that minor temperature and humidity changes can cause swelling, leading to sticking.
- Solution: Suggests using a dehumidifier or rubbing candle wax/paraffin on the sticking sides.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight:
- Effects: Warns that UV rays can fade colors, darken some woods, and cause crazing or hairline cracks in the finish.
- Yellowing: Notes that white finishes will naturally yellow over time, and direct sunlight can accelerate this process, which is not considered a quality defect.
- Proper Storage:
- Conditions: Advises against storing furniture in damp basements or hot, dry attics.
- Airflow: Recommends allowing air movement around the furniture and avoiding stacking items on it.
- General Care Instructions:
- Surface Protection:
- Protect from hot or extremely cold items.
- Use coasters for hot or cold beverages.
- Avoid placing synthetic fabric under accessories or lamps.
- Protect tops from pens, markers, and crayons.
- Be aware that oils from potpourri and other scented items can damage the finish.
- Do not drag items across the surface.
- Breathing: Allow the surface to "breathe" by rotating accessories and lamps.
- Polishing: Polish only two or three times a year; over-polishing can distort the natural finish.
- Waxing: Do not wax the furniture, as wax buildup can destroy the natural finish.
- Moving Furniture: Always lift the unit; do not push or drag to avoid damage to legs.
- Leveling: Keep the furniture level for proper operation of doors and drawers (if applicable).
- Cleaning: Clean with a damp (not wet) cloth and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
The manual is bilingual, providing all instructions and care guidelines in both English and French. It also includes contact information for the manufacturer (ÉVOLUR) and promotes their social media presence for customer engagement and support.
