This document describes the Troll Nicole cot, a nursery product designed for infants from birth up to a weight of 20kg. It is manufactured in Europe and conforms to standard EN716 - 1&2: 2008.
Function Description:
The Troll Nicole cot serves as a safe sleeping environment for babies. It features a convertible design, allowing for adjustment of the mattress base to three different height positions to accommodate the child's developmental stages. The cot includes a dropside mechanism for easier access to the baby, which should be locked in the highest position when the child is unattended. The design emphasizes safety, preventing falls and entrapment, and is built for long-term, trouble-free use.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Weight Limit: Suitable for children from birth up to a weight of 20kg.
- Mattress Size: The minimum recommended mattress size is 1170mm x 570mm. The gap between the mattress and the sides and ends of the cot should not exceed 30mm.
- Mattress Thickness:
- In the lowest cot base position, the internal height (surface of the mattress to the upper edge of the bed frame) must be at least 500mm.
- In the highest cot base position, the internal height must be at least 200mm.
- A benchmark on the cot headboard indicates the maximum permissible mattress thickness.
- Mattress Base Positions: Three adjustable height positions:
- Highest (0-3 months old): For easy caring of the baby without lowering the dropside.
- Middle (3-6 months old): To be used when the baby starts to roll over. The dropside can be used for easier access.
- Lowest (6 months old and up): To be used when the baby starts to stand. The dropside can still be used for access.
- Support Rail: A detachable support rail is used when the cot base is in the highest or middle position. It must be removed when the cot base is used in its lowest position.
- Dropside Gap: The gap between the dropside and the cot end should be adjusted to approximately 3mm by loosening the wheel runners on both sides.
- Assembly Fittings: The cot uses various screws and components for assembly, including:
- 4 x 50mm screws (A)
- 2 x 55mm screws (B)
- 2 x C components
- 4 x D components
- 2 x E components
- 1 x F component
- 4 x H components (likely for wheels or similar)
Usage Features:
- Assembly: It is recommended to have a second adult for assembly. All screws should not be fully tightened until all installation steps are completed.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always ensure the dropside is in the highest and locked position when the child is unattended.
- The lowest mattress base position is the safest once the baby can sit up.
- Do not leave anything in the cot (e.g., curtain cords) or place the cot near other products that could provide a foothold for the child to climb out, posing a risk of suffocation or strangulation.
- Use only one mattress in the cot.
- Ensure all assembly fittings are properly tightened, and no screws are loose to prevent entrapment of body parts or clothing.
- Discontinue use of the cot when the child is able to climb out.
- Mattress Base Adjustment: The cot base can be adjusted to three heights. The support rail must be used for the highest and middle positions and removed for the lowest position. After fixing the cot base with screws (D), additional locking devices at the bottom side should be secured with a screwdriver.
- Dropside Adjustment: The gap between the dropside and the cot end should be set to approximately 3mm by adjusting the wheel runners.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Checks: Regularly check all components to ensure they are secure. Do not use the cot if any parts are broken or missing.
- Storage: When not in use, store the cot in a dry, ventilated place.
- Cleaning: Clean the cot by wiping it with a damp cloth and drying with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, alcohol, or ammonia-based household polishes, as these can damage the wooden furniture.
- Handling: Exercise care when handling or moving the cot to prevent damage to the wooden furniture.
- Spare Parts: Only use spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
- User Awareness: If someone else is using the cot, ensure they are aware of its proper usage and maintenance.
