1. Introduction and general information
Thank you for choosing to buy a RotoBed®Home
RotoBed® is a high quality product that will serve you as an aid for many years to come with
proper use and maintenance.
To get the most out of your bed, please read this manual carefully. The same applies to any other
persons, such as carers or relatives who are going to operate the bed.
It is important that anyone who is to service or clean the RotoBed®Home is aware of the safety
section. This is especially true if at any time there are children in the immediate vicinity of the bed.
Please note the warranty section, including what to comply with in order to maintain the warranty.
This manual may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The information contained herein is
regularly updated, and changes to product care and others may be enrolled in later editions.
Changes and improvements without notice may occur. If you have any questions, you are always
welcome to contact us.
Please contact us if your needs change after the purchase of the bed. The RotoBed® Home can be
upgrated to a RotoBed®Free with height adjustment. We also have a wide range of accessories
that can help make the RotoBed®Home an even better tool for you.
We hope that your new RotoBed®Home will give you increased comfort, mobility and quality of life.
1.1 lWhat RotoBed® Home can do for you
People who are struggling to get into or out of the bed themselves can, with a RotoBed®Home,
become selfreliant and manage entry and exit without physical effort.
By holding down a single key on the remote control, the bed is raised to comfort position and
rotated perpendicular to the room. This facilitates both exit and potential transition to a wheel-
chair or stand up hoist. The movement takes less than a minute.
RotoBed®Home helps the user maintain mobility and supports the user's standing function.
The bed makes the user more selfreliant and reduces the trouble and pain of getting up and
going to bed.
The patient surface is 4-sectioned, and entry and exit is possible on both sides of the bed.
In addition to the rotary function, RotoBed®Home features electrical adjustment of backrest
and leg parts.

2. Before commissioning
2.1. lReception
 Damage that has occurred during transport must be notified immediately upon delivery.
 Check that all ordered parts are free of defects at reception. The bed must not be used if
there are errors or defects that may cause risks to people.
 Contact the manufacturer or local representative if the product is damaged, if it has
other visible signs of defects or if the bed is not working.
2.2 lPlacement
Select the correct location for the bed:
Provide sufficient distance to wall / furniture, taking into account the movements of the bed.
Place the bed near a wall outlet to prevent free cables / fall risk.
Illustration of the bed's dimensions and
space requirements.
Be aware that it is possible to individually
store the inclination of the backrest. The
chosen inclination will affect the required
distance to the wall during rotation.
Standard delivery setting is a 45°
inclination and a distance to the wall of
at least 11 cm. Inclination can be stored
at any point between 35° and 55°.

3. Commissioning
3.1 l Mounting of the mattress
RotoBed®Home comes with a mattress consisting of a main part and a foot part.
The main mattress has 5 buttons on the back.
First place the three lower buttons in the grooves at the bottom of the bed.
Slide the mattress towards the foot end.
Now press the two buttons in the centre of the mattress into the corresponding holes
in the middle of the bed.
Similarly, the foot mattress has two buttons, which fit into the two round holes in the bed.
The mattress is best protected by using the semi-impermeable cover in stretchable
incontinence foil.
3.2 lMounting of side rails
RotoBed®Home can be delivered with side rails made of metal or oak veneer.
Regardless of material the side rails are mounted and removed in the same way:
Press the small fitting underneath while lifting the bed rail.
The side rails can simply be put back into place and will automatically lock.
NB! The side rails should only be mounted or not mounted. Do not leave them upright and
loose. This may cause squeeze risk and damage to the bed during rotation.

3.3 lRemote control
RotoBed®Home can rotate either left or right depending on your preference. Therefore,
the remote control can be connected to both the right and left sides of the bed. When the
remote control is not in use, you can place it on the side rail.

3.4 l Operating RotoBed®Home
Before use:
Hold down the Chair Position key until the bed stops in exit position.
As standard, RotoBed®Home is set to run to an oblique exit position
to facilitate transfer to wheelchair or walker.
If you wish a perpendicular exit, do as follows with the bed still inside
the bed frame:
Hold the program keys Chair Position and Sleeping Position for 5
seconds until a beep sounds.
From now on, the bed will automatically move to a perpendicular exit.
In order to go back to angled exit, repeat the procedure.
NB:
For maximum comfort during rotation, see
Individual storing of backrest inclination next page.

Entry:
Get seated as close to the backrest as possible for the best
comfort. Hold down the Sleeping Position key until the bed
is rotated and horizontal. Now the RotoBed®Home works
like an normal bed with adjustable leg-part and backrest.
Exit:
Hold down the Chair Position key until the bed stops in an
exit position. To facilitate exit you can, by means of the
remote control, move the backrest the last bit forward.
Individual storing of backrest inclination:
Move the backrest to desired inclination during entry and
exit. Press both backrest keys simultaneously for 5 seconds
until a beep sounds. In the future this will be the inclination
when using Chair Position and Sleeping Position.
Standard delivery inclination is 45º.
Individual storing of backrest inclination:
Move the backrest to desired inclination during entry and
exit. Press both backrest keys simultaneously for 10 seconds
until a beep sounds. In the future this will be the inclination
when using Chair Position and Sleeping Position.
Standard delivery inclination is 45º. Inclination can be stored
at any point between 35º and 55º.
Individual storing of backrest inclination:
Move the backrest to desired inclination during entry and
exit. Press both backrest keys simultaneously for 5 seconds
until a beep sounds. In the future this will be the inclination
when using Chair Position and Sleeping Position.

5. Security
5.1 lSecurity during use
Always read the user manual before use and follow the instructions.
RotoBed®Home must not be used rotating anything other than the user to which the bed is
fitted.
The bed should only be used by a user who has sufficient mobility and cognitive
understanding to utilize the bed's functions and avoid accidents.
The rotary function must not be used with more than one person in the bed.
When the bed's functions are operated, the moving parts of the rotary bed constitute a
squeezing hazard.
 When adjusting the bed's positions, all objects and persons, especially children, must
be kept clear of the moving parts of the bed.
 The entire body of the user must be within the patient surface.
 Be aware that the bedding does not get caught in the moving parts of the bed while
adjusting the bed's positions.
 The connecting cable must be free of the rotation mechanism and capable of moving
while adjusting the bed positions.
5.2 l General instructions
The RotoBed®Home engines meet all relevant standards and norms. Electrically
adjustable beds use extremely powerful engines. To prevent overload or damage to the
bed, it is important to follow the regulations when operating the engines.
The remote control must always be available and located correctly. Keep in mind that the
remote control does not clamp between the moving parts of the bed, as this may cause the
keys to be activated without intention.
