After maintenance, check that the glide sheet or air cells and covers (bottom cover and pump

If they are detached for maintenance, attach each part properly after maintenance. If they
detach from the attachment parts, the air cells may shift toward one side, causing the body
pressure to not be dispersed effectively.

When the pump is removed from the mattress for maintenance, be careful that water or other
liquid does not enter the couplings (upper and lower) and pump ports (upper and lower). En-
try of moisture into the pump and air cells may cause a failure and mold generation.

After maintenance, check that the zippers are closed properly. Entry of moisture from an open
zipper may cause the padding (air cells, blowing tubes, etc.) to deteriorate and mold generation.
