TOLERANCE
All Ergomotion adjustable foundations, depending on make and model, are
designed and manufactured to perform and function within designated quality
control parameters . Bases are subject to meticulous and rigorous inspections
during the quality control process to ensure bases will operate within these
standards during normal operating use . Normal operating use is defined as the
following: Adjustable foundation is to be operated with a mattress and load .
Testing procedures require lifetime cycle tests with up to 120kg distributed load .
The angle (designated "
α
" in figure 1) between the back section and the flat
section for various configurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°,
which translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½" .
β
The angle (designated "
" in figure 1) between the flat section and foot section
for various configurations of the
mattress support platform shall
be ± 3°, which translates to a
tolerance of up to ¾" .
Any adjustable foundation
deemed to be within these
allocated tolerances is
considered to have met the
manufacturer's quality control
standards .
THAT "NEW PRODUCT" SMELL:
Some people notice a slight odor to their new adjustable base—this can come
from our material manufacturing process . This smell is normal and usually
disappears before the product reaches you . Sometimes, however, this smell may
still be noticeable . It usually disappears after a few weeks, providing adequate
ventilation of the product and the environment .
BREAK IN PERIOD:
You can speed up the break-in period by simply spending time in the adjustable
bed through activities such as reading, watching TV or playing with the kids or
grandkids . The extra movement will help the adjustable base respond to weight
and temperature changes . Some of the materials in our adjustable bases such
as the woods, metals and plastics used in the platform, frame and components
are sensitive to moisture content and temperature and may make sounds in
colder environments .
PAIRED OPERATION:
When operating a "paired" split base setup there may be a time latency up to 1 .5
seconds between each bases articulation .
WEAR AND TEAR:
Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of
normal use or aging .
FABRIC CARE:
To prolong the life of your fabric, protect from direct sunlight whenever possible .
For spot cleaning, wipe area with a light damp sponge or vacuum with a soft
brush attachment to remove particles . Keep at a minimum of 30cm (12 inches)
away from direct heat sources . For a deeper cleaning, blot liquid spills with a
clean dry cloth . Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm water . Do not wet
excessively . A soft bristle brush may be used to remove ingrained soil . Avoid
scratching by gentle brushing . Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm
water to remove residues . Dry in shade away from direct heat . If persistent marks
remain visible after cleaning, seek professional advice .
