Function Description
The Erbesi "Nido LB" is a baby cot designed to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for infants. It features a mattress base that can be adjusted to two different heights: a lower position for younger babies and a higher position for older infants who are not yet able to climb out.

Usage Features
Assembly:
The manual provides step-by-step visual instructions for assembling the cot.
- Step 1: Attaching the drawer glides (U) to the headboards/footboards (A).
- Step 2a (Low Position): Assembling the mattress base (C) to the headboards/footboards (A) using screws (J), washers (K), and barrel nuts (L). This position is recommended for safety once the baby can sit up.
- Step 2b (High Position): Assembling the mattress base (C) to the headboards/footboards (A) using pins (T, T1), screws (J), washers (K), and barrel nuts (L). If the mattress base is in the high position, both sides of the cot must be fixed using bolts Q (Step 5). The supports T must be removed before reusing the bed with the mattress base in its lowest position.
- Step 3: Preparing the movable side by unscrewing screws "C" (not explicitly listed in the parts list, but shown in the diagram) by one and a half turns using the Allen wrench (V) to ensure proper functioning.
- Step 4: Inserting the cot sides (B) into the headboards/footboards (A). The upper part of the side should be aligned with the joint between the headboard/footboard and its leg. The lower part of the side is inserted into the guide by pressing the appropriate pistons.
- Step 5: Fixing the stationary side using screws (Q) and washers (Q1) for proper operation of the movable side. Short screws "Q" must be used exclusively with washer thickness "Q1".
- Step 6: Attaching the casters (N, P) to the headboards/footboards (A) using metal pins (M). Two casters have brakes (P) and two do not (N).
- Step 7: Assembling the drawer hardware, including eccentrics (R) and guy wires (S).
- Step 8: Assembling the drawer panels.
- Step 9: Inserting the assembled drawer into the cot.
Adjusting the Movable Side:
- To lower the side: Take the side with both hands at its ends. Simultaneously, push the bottom part of the side towards the inside of the bed with your leg. Then, let the side go down to the lower position.
- To raise the side: Take the side with both hands at its ends. Simultaneously, push the bottom part of the side towards the inside of the bed with your leg. Then, raise the side to the upper position until you hear a click.
Safety Warnings:
- Never leave anything in the cot that could trap feet, provide a foothold for climbing out, or pose a risk of suffocation or strangulation.
- Do not place the cot near heat sources (gas or electrical appliances) to avoid fire hazards.
- Do not use the cot if any part is damaged or broken.
- Do not use the cot when the child is able to climb over the sides to prevent falls.
- Always ensure the movable side is raised when the child is left alone in the cot.
- Regularly check that all screws are properly tightened to prevent snagging or hooking of clothing, chains, etc., which could lead to strangulation.
