Occasionally, clean the solid surface sink by lling one-quarter full with a 50/50 water/
bleach solution. Let soak for 15 minutes, and then wash sides and bottom of sink as solu-
tion drains.
Flooring
Always test a cleaning agent in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
Vacuum your carpet regularly. It is important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on
the surface. Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the furniture) may be
protected with small throw rugs to prolong the life of the carpet.
Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. Remove as much of the spill as possible.
Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly with white paper or cloth
towels.
Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for detailed cleaning information, or contact a cleaning
professional.
Periodically vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and gritty particles. Although most common
spills will not permanently stain the vinyl oors, they are usually easier to remove if wiped
up before they set. Blot with a paper towel and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use
dish detergents or vinegar and water because they will dull your oor.
To care for the vinyl oor covering, use a damp mop with water and a mild cleaner on the
entire oor. DO NOT SOAK THE FLOORING. Use care to avoid wetting the carpet edges.
To avoid problems of “yellowing” linoleum, the ooring manufacturer recommends avoid-
ing cleaners that contain oil based solvents (i.e. lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).
Bed Storage
Additional storage has been provided under the bed. To access the storage area, grasp the
end ledge at the foot of the bed and lift carefully. The bed platform must be held when
raised.
It is recommended that two people retrieve stored items from under the bed so that one
person may hold the platform, and the other to retrieve the stored items from under the bed.
Lower the platform slowly to close it.
Certain models may be equipped with a prop rod or gas struts to assist with easy access to
under bed storage.
If your model is equipped with a prop rod:
With the help of a second person, raise the bed platform.
Release the prop rod from its holder.
Put the end of the rod in the bracket under the bed platform.
To lower the platform, release the prop rod from the bracket under the bed plat-
form, re-attach the prop rod to the holder on the bed base,
Lower the platform slowly until closed.
