Release the lever⁚ Once you’ve achieved your desired position, release the lever. The bed should remain in place.

It’s important to note that manual adjustments are typically limited in range compared to using the remote control. Additionally, always ensure the bed is on a stable surface and that there are no obstructions before attempting any manual adjustments.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance and cleaning of your Richmat adjustable bed will help ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Here’s a guide to keep your bed in tip-top shape⁚

Dusting and Vacuuming⁚ Regularly dust the bed frame and base using a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
