DISASSEMBLING THE COT
Using the Allan wrench (A) loosen all the Fixing bolts (C). Start by removing the top fixing and work
down. Remove the fixed side by unscrewing the top fixings, followed by the lower ones. Finally
unscrew each of the base fixings. Store all parts not required safely, out of reach of children.
3. Choosing the mattress
A mattress is not supplied with the Cot.
We recommend that you use a 90 cm by 54 cm mattress with the Cot.
Any mattress used with the Cot must have a length between 92.5 cm and 89.5 cm and a width
between 53 cm and 55 cm. Babies can become trapped in gaps between the cot sides and a mattress
that is too small and may suffocate.
The thickness of the mattress when used in the cot must not be more than 100 mm. The maximum
height of the mattress when the mattress base is in the raised position is indicated on the cot by a
notch marked on the inside of each corner post. When the mattress base is in its lowest position the
distance between the top of the mattress and the top of the cot side must not exceed 500 mm.
WARNING: Do not use more than one mattress in the cot. A child’s head or torso may
become trapped between the side of the cot and the mattress or they may
become wedged between the mattresses.
4. Guide for safe use
The cot is suitable for children from birth. The cot should be used with the base set to the lowest
position as soon as the baby is old enough to sit up. The child has outgrown the cot when it is able to
climb out (approximately 18 months of age). To prevent injury from falls the Cot should no longer be
used for the child.
Babies can suffocate on soft bedding. Never use a pillow, comforter or padding in the cot.
To reduce the risk of SIDS, paediatricians recommend healthy babies be placed on their backs to
sleep, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
WARNING: Do not place the Cot near heat sources. Be aware of the risk of open fire
and other sources of strong heat, such as electric bar fires, gas fires, etc. in
the vicinity of the cot.
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 the Cot if any part is broken, torn or missing.
