8.2.1 Extending the Mattress Base
Mechanical and electric beds in the Deka range can optionally be fitted with a bed extension at the
foot end.
x The mattress base can be extended either by 10 or 20 cm.
x Important! When the bed has been extended by 20 cm, the resulting gap must always be filled
with a mattress insert piece (see Chapter Available Accessories » 105).
Two bed extension release handles for
extending the mattress base are located
on the left and right of the cross tubing
under the footboard.
Using both hands, slide the footboard out
smoothly and evenly to extend the mattress
base.
Apply the brakes and stand at the foot
end of the bed.
Please note: The mattress base can be
extended by 10 or 20 cm at the foot end.
Slide the footboard out as far as required
until the extension locks into the first or
second position.
Grip the bed extension release handles
from underneath with both hands and lift
them both at the same time.
Check that the knobs are firmly locked in
place by pushing the footboard forwards
and back!
