SAFETY:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY:
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector (not
included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet or
surge protector (strongly recommended). Always unplug the base from the
electrical outlet before servicing any part of the base. To reduce risk of electric
shock, unplug the base before cleaning. To safely disconnect, ensure the base
power cord away from heated surfaces. Never operate the base when the air
openings are blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair and the like. Do not
drop or insert any object into any opening. Discontinue use of the bed base
and contact a qualified service center if: it has a damaged cord or plug, if it
is not working properly, or it has been dropped into water. Only use this bed
base for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use accessories/
attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Close supervision
is required when the bed base is used by or near children, convalescents,
disabled persons or pets. Improper connection of the equipment can result in
the risk of electrical shock, electrical fire or faulty operation of this bed base. If
the plug does not fit your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a suitable
outlet. Unauthorized modification or failure to use a wall outlet or surge protector
could void the electrical portion of your warranty.
PETS AND CHILDREN:
Immediately dispose of all packing materials as it may pose a smothering risk
to small children and pets. To avoid injury, it is not advised to allow children and
small pets to play on or under the bed. Children should not operate the bed
base without adult supervision.
PACEMAKERS:
Some products contain Neodymium MAGNETS which may interfere with devices
such as pacemakers, ICD’s and any other device sensitive to magnetic fields.
It is STRONGLY recommended that owners of such medical devices consult
their physician prior to using products that contain Neodymium MAGNETS. It is
also possible that some pacemakers may falsely interpret the optional massage
feature vibrations as movement/exercise. This is a common occurrence with any
Please consult your physician before using the massage feature.
Attention: Important Safety Disclaimers
Read all instructions before using your adjustable base. Save these instructions.
Safety Precautions and Usage Statements
WARNING
• Keep bed in a flat position when not in use.
• Stay clear of moving parts while in motion.
• Before adjusting, make sure children and pets are clear of
moving parts and are not under bed base.
• Do not allow children to operate bed base without adult
supervision
WARNING
Always unplug the base from the electrical outlet before servicing any
part of the base. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the base before
cleaning. To safely disconnect, ensure the base is in a flat position with

IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergomotion adjustable bed bases are designed solely for in-home use. This
base wasnot designed as a hospital bed and is not designed to meet hospital
standards. Donot use this basewith TENT TYPE oxygentherapy equipment or
near explosive gases.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking wheels to prevent
unwanted movement. Even when locked and unable to roll, it is possible for
the casters to slide. Free release head and foot motors are designed to lower
the mattress by retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which
minimizes pinch points.
ACOUSTICS
LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS
The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal humming sound during operation. This
is normal. During operation, the lift arm wheels make contact with the platform
support of the base. This contact may result in metal on metal or metal on plastic
contact. This applies slight tension on the moving components and resonance
is reduced to a minimum level. If excessive noise or vibration is experienced,
reverse the movement action (up or down) of the base with the remote control.
This should realign the base’s activating mechanisms to the proper operational
position. In normal base operation, the wheels which allow the bed to maintain
its distance from the wall, will make contact with the steel platform supports of
the base creating a contact noise. When entering, exiting or shifting weight on
the base, this contact noise may be audible as the wheels make contact. This is
normal.
MATERIALS
Ergomotion adjustable bases are constructed from various materials including
woods, metals, plastics and fabrics. Tension, pressure or movement applied to
the frame, platform or shroud through general use may create an audible sound.
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit atone during operation. This is normal. As the
massage intensity level isincreased,the tone will intensify. The volume of this tone
is directly related to the location environment.For example, when demonstrated
in ashowroom, the surrounding environmental noise will cover some of the
massage noise. However, when installed in ahome setting with wooden floors,
carpeted or not,the massage volume will be more noticeable. To minimize this
resonance, place apiece of carpet,or rubber caster cups, under each leg or caster
of the base. It is possible to experience vibration or noise from the exterior bed
frame, headboard brackets, headboardsor footboards if mounting bolts are not
WARNING
For optimalsafety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector
(not included). The bed base should only beplugged directly into a
grounded wall outlet or surge protector (strongly recommended). Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electricalfire or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contacta qualified Electrician to install a suitable outlet.

firmly tightened.
Levels 1-3 massage intensity represent the amount of electrical power delivered
to the massage transducer. Level 3 provides the max power delivered to the
transducers. Depending on the mattress material, thickness, and positioning of
massage intensity setting that suits them best.
TOLERANCE
All Ergomotion adjustable foundations, depending on make and model, are
designed and manufactured to perform and function within designated quality
control parameters. Bases are subject to meticulous and rigorous inspections
during the quality control process to ensure bases will operate within these
standards during normal operating use. Normal operating use is defined as the
following: Adjustable foundation is to be operated with a mattress and load.
Testing procedures require lifetime cycle tests with up to 120kg distributed load.
The angle (designated “a” in figure 1) between the back section and the flat
section for various configurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°,
which translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.
The angle (designated “b” in figure 1) between the flat section and foot section
for various configurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°, which
translates to a tolerance of up to ¾”.
Any adjustable foundation deemed to be within these allocated tolerances is
considered to have met the manufacturer’s quality control standards.
THAT “NEW PRODUCT” SMELL:
Some people notice a slight odor to their new adjustable base—this can come
from our material manufacturing process. This smell is normal and usually
disappears before the product reaches you. Sometimes, however, this smell may
still be noticeable. It usually disappears after a few weeks, providing adequate
ventilation of the product and the environment.
BREAK IN PERIOD:
You can speed up the break-in period by simply spending time in the adjustable
bed through activities such as reading, watching TV or playing with the kids or
grandkids. The extra movement will help the adjustable base respond to weight
and temperature changes. Some of the materials in our adjustable bases such
as the woods, metals and plastics used in the platform, frame and components
are sensitive to moisture content and temperature and may make sounds in
colder environments.
PAIRED OPERATION:
When operating a “paired” split base setup there may be a time latency up to 1.5
seconds between each bases articulation.
WEAR AND TEAR:
Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of
normal use or aging.
FABRIC CARE:
To prolong the life of your fabric,protect from direct sunlight whenever possible.
For spot cleaning, wipe area with alight damp sponge or vacuum with a soft brush
attachment to remove particles. Keep at a minimum of 30cm (12 inches) away
fromdirect heat sources. For a deeper cleaning, blot liquid spills with a clean dry
cloth.Wipe with aclean cloth dampened with warm water. Do not wet excessively.
A soft bristle brush may be usedto remove ingrained soil. Avoid scratching by
gentle brushing.Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm water to remove
residues.Dry in shade away fromdirect heat. If persistent marks remain visible
after cleaning, seek professional advice.
PRODUCT RATINGS:
The lift motors are not designed to operate continuously for more than
[2] minutes in an [18] minute time period or approximately 10% duty cycle.
