Do not use abrasives, bleach, alcohol or ammonia-based household polishes.
Take care when handling or moving the furniture. Careless handling may cause damage.
Safety notes - Cot mode
Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly installed. Assembly should be carried out by a competent
person.
Keep children clear during assembly as pack contains small parts which may present a choking hazard.
Warning: Be aware of the risks of open fires and other such sources of strong heat, such as electric bar
fires, gas fires, etc. in the near vicinity of the cot.
Warning: Do not use the cot if any part is broken, torn or missing and use only spare parts approved by
the manufacturer.
Warning: Do not leave anything in the cot or place the cot close to another product, which could
provide a foothold or present a danger of suffocation or strangulation, e.g. strings, blind/curtain cords,
etc.
Warning: Do not use more than one mattress in the cot.
The lowest base position is the safest and should be used as soon as your baby is old enough to sit up.
The thickness of the mattress chosen must not reduce the internal depth (from the top of the mattress
surface to the top of the side) to less than 500mm with the base in its lowest position or 200mm with
the base in the highest position.
The mattress should be no more than 30mm shorter or narrower than the internal length or width
of the cotbed. Suitable for use with a mattress of 1400mm in length, 700mm in width and a maximum
thickness of 100mm.
All assembly fixings should always be tightened properly. Periodically check all fixings to ensure none
have come loose, and that there is no risk of clothing or parts of the body becoming snagged or
trapped.
To prevent falls, when the child is able to climb out of the cot, the cot should no longer be used for that
child.
Do not allow your child to jump on the cotbed. This may result in damage to the furniture and/or
injury to your child.
