WARNING: 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/bed.
WARNING: Do not use the product if any part
is broken, damaged, torn or missing. Approved
replacement parts can be obtained from Silver
Cross.
WARNING: Do not leave anything in the cot/bed,
or place it close to another product which provides
a foothold or presents a danger of suffocation or
strangulation. For example strings, blind/curtain
cords etc.
WARNING: Children are likely to play, bounce,
jump and climb on beds, therefore the child’s bed
should not be placed too close to other furniture or
windows, and should be placed either tight to any
wall or have a gap of 300mm between the wall and
the side of the bed.
WARNING: Do not place this child’s bed near heat
sources, windows and other furniture.
The lowest position of the mattress base is the
safest, and should be used as soon as the baby is
old enough to sit up. To prevent injury from falls,
when the child is able to climb out of the cot, the
cot shall no longer be used for that child.
Thickness of the mattress chosen must not reduce
the internal depth (from mattress surface to top of
the side) to less than 500mm with the base in its
lower position or 200mm with the base in its higher
position. The leg of the cot has a mark indicating
this height.
If you leave the child unattended in the cot, always
make sure that the dropside is in the highest
position.
All assembly fittings should be tightened properly,
checked regularly and re-tightened as necessary.
Screws and bolts should not be loose because a
child can squeeze parts of the body, or clothing
e.g string, necklaces, ribbons for babies dummies
etc. could get caught. There would be a danger of
strangulation.
The cot/bed must be used on a level and stable
surface, away from electric sockets. Once
assembled do not dismantle. Never move the cot/
bed with a child in it.
Excessive chewing may damage the wood and
cause splintering. If any part is damaged stop
using until the correct replacement part has been
obtained from Silver Cross.
Your cot/bed can be cleaned by wiping with a damp
cloth and drying immediately with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use abrasives, bleach, alcohol or ammonia
based household polishes.
Take care when handling or moving furniture,
careless handling can damage wooden furniture.
Wood is a natural material, the colour will darken
with age.
The size of the mattress to be used with the child’s
bed is 1400x700mm.
Cot conforms to BS EN 716-1:2008 and toddler
bed to BS 8509:2008+A1:2011.
