To help make your home delivery go as smoothly as possible, we recommend the following tips:
1. All walls and walkways in the path of the delivery must be cleared. Remove pictures,
mirrors, nails, plants, tables, etc.
2. Have the set up area for new furniture clear of existing furniture.
3. Remove any breakable objects in the delivery area.
4. Lay rugs, blankets or cardboard down to protect wood, tile, or light carpet floors.
OUTSIDE METRO DENVER AND MOUNTAIN DELIVERIES
To help make your home delivery go as smoothly as possible, we need to be sure we can
get your delivery to you.
1. Can our delivery vehicle make it up your driveway? Is there a place where the delivery
vehicle can turn around once they reach your house.
2. How steep is your driveway?
3. Are there any hairpin turns that our truck might not be able to maneuver?
4. How wide is your driveway? Are there any branches
in the way? Will it be a problem if our truck breaks
any branches?
5. Are there any low electrical wires, cables or tree
branches near or around your driveway?
6. Is your driveway paved, gravel or dirt? If the driveway
is dirt, is there a possibility our truck will get stuck if the
drive is muddy? Also, if the drive is muddy, is there a
problem if our trucks leave deep tire tracks in your driveway?
7. Are there any narrow bridges, ditches or dips in the
road that could pose a problem due to the weight and
length of our truck?
8. Will your driveway be accessible if it has snowed or is
snowing? If our truck is unable to make it up your driveway,
could you be available with a pickup truck to meet our delivery
truck to unload the furniture?

• Keep furniture away from heating and air conditioning sources to prevent loss of moisture in the wood.
• Use a felt backing on lamps, ashtrays, and other accessories to prevent scratching and gouging.
• Use place mats under plates and hot pads under serving dishes when serving hot food.
• Put houseplants in drip-proof pots and keep foliage from touching furniture surfaces to prevent moisture damage to wood.
• Always use a protective pad when using your furniture as a writing surface.
• Use coasters under both hot and cold drinks.
• Blot up spills promptly. Water left over a prolonged period of time will cause white spots in the finish. Alcohol, perfume,
after-shaves lotions and medicines can cause severe furniture damage.
• Do not place synthetic rubber or plastic items directly on wood to avoid a chemical change to furniture finish.
• Do not leave newspapers or magazines lying on wood furniture due to possible ink "bleeding" into the furniture finish & wood.
• Avoid using nail polish remover or other harsh household products near wood furniture to avoid possible damage
from spills or splashes.
• Rotate the placement of accessories on wood furniture surfaces from time to time to redistribute wear patterns.
• Dust in the direction of the grain with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. If desired, lightly polish your furniture in the direction
of the grain with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
COLOR CHANGES
Color change is a natural phenomenon of wood. Woods change color with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light
coming from windows and fluorescent lighting. Cherry wood veneer color changes are most rapid, taking on a darker, “golden”
tone with age. Walnut will lighten with “golden” hues. Oak will darken and yellow slightly. As a rule, lighter colored finishes
(i.e. Henna Cherry and Red Cherry) are more apt to show these color changes compared to darker finishes (i.e. Mahogany
and Walnut). Darker colors act as a “sun block” and reduce the aging effect. We recommend that for the first year, you
occasionally move the items kept on your desk, such as desk pads, telephones and in/out baskets, to a different location on
the surface to allow uniform amounts of light to reach all surface areas. This will help prevent light or dark spots from
occurring. All wood manufacturers have the same issues, so the same care can be applied to any veneer product.
FOR SMOOTH DRAWER OPERATION
• To maintain proper operation of the drawer suspension, lubricate the area housing the ball bearings every three to
six months with a high quality petroleum jelly type lubricant.
• To ensure correct drawer alignment, your desk or credenza must be leveled. Check the level & adjust the glides if necessary.
• To keep pulls and hardware looking new we recommend using a window-type cleaner for all decorative hardware.
FABRIC CARE
Many furniture fabrics now carry the furniture industry's cleanability code adopted in 1969. It gives the consumer information
about the proper methods to clean specific fabrics. There are four letters in the code, immediately followed by care
instructions. The code letters are W, S, W-S, and X.
Permanent care labels will normally be found under the seat cushion. When spot cleaning, it is always a good idea for
consumers to first pretest fabric for discoloration and shrinkage on an inconspicuous part of the furniture. When overall
cleaning is required, professional cleaning will often achieve the most satisfactory results. Never remove cushion covers or arm
caps for separate cleaning. This may destroy the backing, cause shrinking and color changes.
Weekly vacuuming or light brushing helps to remove soil and prevent the embedding of dirt or grime between fibers which can
increase abrasion and wear. The life of upholstered cushions can be increased through periodic turning. The weekly reversal
of loose cushions will allow even distribution of wear over a long periods of time. Spills should be gently blotted up as quickly
as possible.
Please call or visit the website of the manufacturer of your furniture for more information on precise
cleaning and care instructions as it relates to your specific furniture.

SOFTSIDE AIR SUPPORT
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Please Read All Instructions Carefully
Before Starting Assembly
Note:
The electronic circuitry of the Synergy™ and Accura Air Inflation
Systems are sensitive to fluctuations in power supply. It is strongly
recommended that these systems be used in conjunction with a reliable
surge protector.
The Benefits Of Air Support
Independent studies prove Air Sleep Systems are superior in comfort and support.
Conventional beds resist natural body contours, producing pressure points in some areas
and no support in others. Airbeds, on the other hand, compress and actually conform to
individual parts of your body, contouring to the shape of the person, and evenly distributing
body weight for minimum contact pressure, even in difficult areas like the small of the
back, maintaining optimum spinal support with fewer pressure points-which of course
results in more comfortable, restful, undisturbed sleep...a better night’s sleep!
Adjustable firmness; dual air chambers inside our mattresses can be made firmer or
softer so the exact personalized comfort level can be achieved. At the touch of a button,
you can customize the correct support to fit your personal preference, from extra firm
to feather soft. This is essential for couples because people of different sizes and weights
cannot sleep on the same surface and both be as comfortable as they should in order to
get the best possible sleep, so that your waking up feeling relaxed, refreshed and
energized!

TIPS
Everyone will have a different firmness/comfort level and that level will
change from time to time over the years. To try to find your initial
firmness/comfort level, we suggest you follow these steps.
•
•
•
•
Lie down on your fully inflated bed. Lie in your
natural sleeping position and with the pillow
you will use.
•
Let your spine adjust to this for a few minutes.
Then touch the “Softer “ button on your handheld remote control. This will let air out to give
you a softer comfort level.
Once you have chosen your firmness/comfort
level, leave it for several days before making
any major adjustments. This way your body
and spine get a chance to adjust to your new
sleeping surface.
•
Since it can take up to 30 days to become
accustomed to a different comfort level, we
suggest you make changes in small increments when changing your firmness. Also
remember that every time you significantly
change the firmness/comfort level of your
mattress, it’s like getting used to a whole
new sleeping surface, so give it several
days before adjusting again.
External temperature changes (hot/cold)
may affect the internal air pressure of your
mattress. If your bed seems too soft in
colder period, simply inflate. If it seems too
hard in warmer period, deflate to soften
surface slightly.
Now get ready to enjoy a really good night’s sleep!

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Check hose connection to the power unit to be sure it is tight.
Hand Control may be stuck on “Softer”. Power Unit may be
leaking air. To check for defect, fully inflate air chambers, and
remove hoses from power unit. If there is still leakage, it is in
the hose or air chamber. Call factory for service instructions.
Check to be sure that you are using the correct hand control.
Check air hoses for bends or crimps that could restrict air flow.
Make sure the power module is plugged in fully to a working
electrical socket. If it is plugged in use a lamp or other available
electrical device to check that the socket has power.
Operating the Power Unit for longer than 2 minutes without
allowing the motor to cool will not damage the unit; however, it
may reduce the life expectancy of the power system.

Before Starting Assembly
The Benefits Of Fluid Support
Why a waterbed? Today, the waterbed enjoys wide acceptance among people in all age
brackets, income levels, and life styles. Waterbeds can be found in hospitals, rest homes,
hotels, and motels. As more and more people experienced waterbeds, the special benefits
became well known. Comfort, health, cleanliness, warmth, and convenience; new owners
were pleased and became the best advertisers. Compare the support comparison charts
below. Waterbeds offer a gentle, more even support for restful sleep.
Waterbeds and medicine, who can benefit? The principles of flotation have been
documented to be especially helpful with many conditions, from arthritis to orthopedic
problems to home care of various ailments. The controlled heated waterbed can help by
offering a unique system of flotation. With this system, the body is uniformly supported by
the water, and the body weight is distributed more evenly over the surface. This eliminates
pressure on various parts of the body, the shoulders, small of back, hip, tail bone and heels.
Circulation is improved. The motion and warmth of the bed helps a person to relax,
provides comfort and helps in producing better sleep habits. The waterbed represents an
important advance in the care of patients, from helping to reduce pain to enhancing sleep
- the benefits of sleeping on water far outweigh that of a traditional mattress.

ADDITIONAL PARTS REQUIRED:
1. Universal Bedlegs, metal bed frame or riser compatible pedestal system.
2. Fill & Drain Kit, including waterbed treatment.
NOTE:
•
Read all instructions before starting to assemble bed.
•
If using a waterbed heater, read & follow instructions provided with the heater.
•
Use LUKE WARM WATER to fill the mattress to prevent mildew.
SETTING UP YOUR FLOTATION BED:
1. Determine where you want to put the bed. Assemble the metal bedframe or pedestal. It
will be centered underneath the bed’s foundation, so place it approximately 6–8" from
the wall for flat headboards or 16–18" from the wall for bookcase style headboards.
Make sure that the pedestal system is square.
2. Place the foundation squarely on the riser or pedestal. Do not place the foundation flush
against the wall. Remember to leave room for your headboard or bookcase. Make sure
the foundation extends equally over all four sides of the riser and is sitting squarely on
the pedestal.
3. Place the quilted zipper shell on top of the foundation by matching the corners of the
cover to the corners of the foundation. (Be sure and place the end of the cover with the
“law” tags at the head of the bed.)
9
4. Completely unzip the quilted zipper shell and fold back the top neatly. Fold the sides of
the quilted zipper shell down and over the foundation sides. The sides of the zipper shell
will be inside out folded over the foundation.
5. Unroll each pair of foam rails. The head and foot rails should be positioned first.
(Exception: On the Platinum, full depth 8” softside, the siderails go in first.)
The head rail has two exit holes for the heater cord(s), so make sure you position it at
the head of the bed. The longer rails are the side rails. Unfold them. Next make sure the
cross webbing material is smooth and place the side rails in position on the foundation,
pull the cover down toward sides of your foundation. Make sure each foam rail fits flush
with the adjoining rail so each corner is aligned.
6. Make sure the corners are snug and tight. Double check that the foam rails and quilted
zipper shell are square on the foundation.
7. Placement of Heater (Follow manufacturer’s instructions)
Caution: The manufacturer recommends using a 120 watt solid state hybrid heater with
Flotation Beds. A higher watt heater may cause damage to your Flotation Bed, and will
void the warranty.
A.
Place the 120 watt hybrid heater pad inside the foam rail tray
cavity. It should lay flat and smooth on top of the material attached to the
rails. (The heater pad is always directly under the safety liner, and the
fluid chamber is always directly above liner; regardless of system type.)
B.
Thread the heater pad cord through the opening where the side and
head rail meet in the upper right or left corner and then through the adjacent hole punched through the bottom of the quilted zipper shell. Insert
this cord into the control unit outside the bed.
C.
Starting on the outside of the bed, thread the temperature sensor that is
attached to the control unit back through the pre-cut hole and rails so it
lays next to the pad. Make sure it is not touching the heater pad. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions for exact placement.
Do not plug in heater until the flotation mattress is completely filled
with water.
8. Next, remove the safety liner from package, unfold and lay inside the foam rail tray over
the heater. Pull the fitted sides of the liner over the rails and tuck snugly. Smooth out
any wrinkles on the bottom of the liner, making sure not to disturb heater pad
placement.
9. Pull up the corners of the quilted zipper shell, making sure the mattress cavity is square
on the foundation.
10. Unfold the mattress and place inside the cavity on top of the liner.
11. Square the corners of the mattress to the corners inside the cavity. The valve should
be located in the right corner at the foot of the bed.
10
FILLING THE MATTRESS
★ Square the corners of the mattress with the corners of the cavity. This is
CRITICAL and must be done before the mattress(es) is filled. You can
also, before filling the waterbed - inflate with air. Use a hair dryer on cool
setting or a shop vac. Inflate 6-8” above frame or siderails. Plug valve,
and push gently on center, pull the corners straight and square off corners.
1. Holding the vinyl mattress in place with one hand, grab the butterfly cap on the fill valve
and gently pull the spout up.
2. Remove the cap and safety plug from the fill valve and allow air to enter the mattress.
3. Follow the instructions in your Fill and Drain Kit to attach the hose nozzle to your bed
and faucet.
4. Begin filling the mattress. Fill with warm water.
Note: If using tubes, fill them to fill level indicated on tube.
The proper fill-level for optimum comfort is a matter of personal
preference. Test the comfort level periodically and add more water if needed.
Do not fill above the foam rails.
5. After filling the mattress, remove air bubbles. Have a partner hold the fill valve up while
you sweep the air towards the valve. Start at the head of the bed and work the air
bubbles toward the valve.
6. Add one application of Waterbed Conditioner. This should be added every six months
to keep the water fresh and odor free.
7. Replace caps on the fill valve and press down. Wipe up any water that may have
spilled on the mattress or liner. Plug in heater and adjust according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
Let the water in the mattress reach room temperature before zipping the
quilted top over the mattress to avoid any possible condensation.
We recommend using a mattress pad to protect your cover from
damage that would not be covered by the warranty.
MATTRESS MAINTENANCE:
1. Add Waterbed Conditioner once every six months.
2. Clean vinyl surface with vinyl cleaner periodically.
11
DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unplug heater before draining mattress.
2. Screw faucet adapter to your sink taking care not to cross thread the adapter.
3. Screw siphon pump to faucet adapter.
4. Attach hose to siphon pump.
5. Attach hose adapter to other end of garden hose. Pull mattress valve out of mattress,
fully insert adapter into valve and tighten.
6. To start the siphon action, remove all air bubbles then prime the garden hose by
turning the faucet on and covering up the bottom of the pump with your hand to allow
water to fill the hose. Once the hose is completely filled with water, remove your hand
from the bottom of the pump and allow water to flow down the sink. For maximum
suction, turn both hot and cold taps on full pressure. Keep the hose adapter inserted
in the vinyl mattress in contact with the water at all times.
7. Allow 1/2 hour draining with faucet fully opened. When mattress appears empty, leave
hose attached and slowly roll the mattress up like a sleeping bag, towards the valve.
To Drain Tubes: Empty directly into bathtub or sink. If tubes are too heavy to carry, empty
into bucket.
★ Important: Avoid damage to internal fiber or hydraulic network by ensuring it does not
shift. Grasp firmly between top and bottom skin of mattress and roll together. When
completely drained, disengage hose and recap.
★ Important: Do not drag tubes, as this may cause friction burn to the vinyl.
ELECTRIC PUMP USAGE/DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS:
★ If interested in using a pump - please ask your sleep consultant for more information.
1. Unplug heater before draining mattress.
2. Remove all of the air from your water mattress.
3. Attach the “perfect union” connector on the end of the clear hose on the pump to the
valve in your water mattress. Make sure the connection is tight to maintain proper suction.
4. You must prime the pump, tip the pump on the side, pour approx. 2 cups of water in
the outlet side of the pump. (Note: Some newer style pumps are self priming)
5. Connect your exit hose to the discharge port on the pump. Ensure the exit hose is in the
desired location. The force of the water can actually cause the hose to flop about and come
out of a normal bathtub. Do not leave the hose unattended while indoors.
Place the pump on a towel or cardboard to prevent possible damage to the floor or other surface.
6. Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Note: There is no on/off switch and the
pump will begin to operate immediately.
7. Allow the pump to run until the water slows to a trickle. The pump will remove nearly
all of the water and the mattress will become vacuum-sealed to ensure all internal
support features remain in their proper location. Do not lift the head of the mattress
until the mattress is vacuum packed, as this could damage the mattress.
8. Immediately unplug the pump. DO NOT RUN THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER as this
can severely damage the pump.
4. Disconnect the perfect union connector from the mattress and immediately attach
the cap and seal to ensure the mattress remains vacuum packed.

WARNING:
WATERBED ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
THE MATTRESS
Never leave any infant, or handicapped
child who cannot turn over, unattended
on this or any other adult mattress.
Infant or handicapped children can suffocate in the face down position or get
caught between the mattress and
frame, headboard or wall and suffocate.
NOTE: A mattress pad and linens are
very important to your waterbed. Not
only will it make it more comfortable, but
it stops the waterbed from robbing you
of natural body heat as well as soaking
up normal body oils that can deteriorate
your mattress over time.

STEP 1: BUILD THE FRAME
Panel Headboard or No Headboard
A. Lay out your frame and hardware. Note that the footboard
and backboard have grooved bottoms. The grooves should
face in toward each other. Make sure all frame boards have
finished surfaces facing down on the floor.
B. If your frame includes a headboard, attach it to the back
frame board using the slats and screws provided. REMEMBER:
The groove in the frame board must face inward once the headboard is secured.
C. Assemble the frame with the corner brackets and screws
provided. Note the finished top to the frame is facing up.
D. Position your assembled frame exactly where you want it in
your room. Now refer to Step 2 -- Building the Pedestal.
14
BOOKCASE HEADBOARD
A. Lay out your frame and hardware. Note: The footboard and
backboard have grooved bottoms that should face inward
toward each other. Also the finished side of the frame boards
should face the floor.
B. Assemble the frame with the corner brackets and screws
provided. Note that the side frame boards extend past the
backboard. The extended portion of the frame will support your
bookcase headboard. A sure way to insure correct internal
spacing from head to foot is to use one of the deck boards (see
Step 2), as a measure. Lay the 1 piece of deck into the groove
at the foot, now bring the head frame board in between the side
rails until the deck fits in the groove. Mount at that point. Now
remove the deck board and go to Step 2 -- Building the
Pedestal.
C. Position your assembled frame exactly where you want it in
your room. This photo shows how the bookcase headboard will
be positioned on the extended frame AT A LATER TIME. DO
NOT MOUNT NOW! Refer to Step #2.
FOUR POSTER MODEL
A. Lay out your frame, posts and hardware. Finished sides should
face down toward floor exposing unfinished mounting sides.
B. Mount the footboard to the two shorter posts using the brackets
and screws provided. Some styles have hardware already
mounted. Careful when mounting brackets to keep each bracket
the same portioned height on each frame board and post.
C. Mount the headboard and the frame backboard to the taller
posts also using the brackets and screws provided.
D. Mount each side frame board to the posts attached to the
headboard and footboard. Make sure the finished edges of the
frame boards face up.
E. Position your assembled frame where you want it in your
room. Refer to Step 2 -- Building the Pedestal.
15
STEP 2: BUILDING THE PEDESTAL
Standard Pedestal
A. Lay out the pieces of your standard pedestal inside of the
frame as pictured. The finished sides when assembled are to
face outward.
B. Slide the brown corner brackets on each corner of the
pedestal. Slide the corner bracket on to each pedestal board at
an angle, for easiest assembly.
C. Firm pressure is generally required to slide the corner brackets
all the way on and lock the corner into position.
D. Assemble the two sets of the center support system, by
inserting the slotted pieces into one another. Position the two
internal supports in the center of the pedestal, head to foot and
side to side. You may receive a center support system of one
longer piece and two shorter pieces that are slotted. Position
down the middle of the pedestal.
E. The pedestal should be accurately centered within the frame
in its final position.
F. Next, without letting it slide our of place, tilt the frame on to one
side. Avoid moving the pedestal. After Step 3 you will lower the
frame onto the deck boards which will be mounted on the
pedestal. This does not apply to 4 poster beds. Build pedestal and
position deck boards inside of 4 poster frame, without moving frame.
STEP 2: BUILDING THE PEDESTAL
Six Drawer Pedestal
A. Lay one three drawer section of the pedestal inside the
frame, recessed slightly on the side and at the head and foot as
pictured. If you purchased a two drawer section pedestal, use
the same procedure as the three drawer that is pictured.
B. Lay the second three drawer section of the pedestal inside
the frame as pictured.
16
STEP 2: BUILDING THE PEDESTAL
Six Drawer Pedestal Continued
C. Slide the wood pieces into the spaces between drawer
sections as pictured. For Queen size and Super Single size
waterbeds the wood pieces may need to be cut down or not needed
at all (hence push both three drawer sections tightly together.)
D. Be certain the assembled six drawer pedestal is accurately
centered within the frame in it’s final position.
E. Next, without letting it slide out of place, tilt the frame on to one
side. Avoid moving the pedestal. After Step 3 you will lower the
frame onto the deck boards which will be mounted on the pedestal.
This does not apply to the 4 poster beds. Position drawer sections
and deck boards inside of 4 poster frame, without moving frame.
STEP 2: BUILDING THE PEDESTAL
Twelve Drawer Pedestal
A. See directions for the Six Drawer Pedestal. Follow them
exactly first. Next add the third three drawer section on top of
half of the completed six drawer pedestal. This procedure also
works for two drawer section pedestals.
B. Add the fourth three drawer section as pictured.
C. Position the corners as accurately as possible, with special
care given at the foot of the bed since it is most visible.
D. Slide the wood pieces into the spaces between drawer
sections just as previously done for the bottom set of drawers.
E. Again be certain that your twelve (or ten, eight drawer)
pedestal is accurately positioned where you want it. YOU WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE IT ONCE THE BED IS ASSEMBLED.
F. Next, without letting it slide out of place, tilt the frame on to one
side. Avoid moving the pedestal. After Step 3 you will lower the
frame onto the deck boards which will be mounted on the pedestal.
17
STEP 2: BUILDING THE PEDESTAL
Captain’s Pedestal
A. (Some Captain’s Pedestals vary in configuration. If yours
needs some sub-assembly, do it prior to this step. Ask your
sleep consultant for more details.) Lay one of the larger drawer
sections inside the frame, recessed as pictured
B. Lay the second large drawer assembly sections inside, on
the other side of the frame, as pictured.
C. Next, tilt the frame on to one side. Avoid moving the drawer
sections. After Step 3 you will lower the frame onto the deck
boards which will be mounted on the pedestal.
D. Now, slide in or attach the door section and wood pieces in the
appropriate slots. These should be snug to assure proper support.
E. Be certain the assembled Captain’s Pedestal is accurately
centered within the frame and in it’s final position, before
moving to Step 3.
STEP 3: LAY THE DECK BOARDS ON THE PEDESTAL
A. King size - position the three 24 inch deck board pieces so that
the pedestal is equally recessed on all sides. The cut
corners on the deck boards should be positioned at the four corners.
B. Queen size - position the two 24 inch deck boards, with the
one 12 inch deck board in the middle, so that the pedestal is
equally recessed on all sides. The cut corners should be positioned at the four corners.
C. Super Single size - position the two 24 inch deck boards so that
the pedestal is equally recessed on all sides. The cut corners on the
deck boards should be positioned at the four corners.

STEP 4: MOUNT THE FRAME TO THE DECK
A. Lower the frame onto the deck. Make sure the grooves on the
bottom of the footboard and backboard overlap the deckboards.
Re-check that the pedestal is centered and in position.
B. This photo shows how the grooves overlap the deck.
C. Optional: Attach the “L” bracket into the middle of each frame
board and deck to secure the deck to the frame. To protect liner
and mattress from metal burrs, cover all inside metal brackets
with masking or duct tape.
D. If your waterbed features a bookcase headboard, mount it to
the frame now. Secure the headboard to the frame with the flat
brackets screwed in from underneath the headboard behind the
frame. Slide the frame carefully away from the wall a few
inches, if needed, to allow more room to mount. Once mounted
slide the frame back into final position.
E. If you purchased upholstered rail caps, attach them to your
frame now. The padded rail caps slip over the frame edges.
At your option, you may wish to secure the caps onto the frame
with screws, if needed.
STEP 5: INSTALL HEATER UNIT
Unplug heater before filling or draining your waterbed. Follow specific
heater manufacturer’s guidelines for detailed installation instructions.
A. Place the heating pad in the center area of the deck avoiding the cracks in the deck boards. For Queen or Super Single
place heating pad to one side or the other. Do Not Place Over
Cracks.
B. Mount the thermostat control to either side of the frame,
depending on where you will plug it in. Control unit may mount
to side or underneath. See manufacturer’s instructions. Use the
screws provided. Securely plug the cord from the heating pad
into the thermostat control.
19
STEP 5: INSTALL HEATER UNIT CONTINUED
C. Run the thermostat control’s sensor tube through the corner hole
inside the frame onto the deck. The sensor tube should be positioned midway between the frame and the heating pad, preferably
twelve inches away from the heating pad.
D. To test the temperature control system, plug it in, turn the
thermostat up and place your hand on the heating pad. As soon
as you feel it start to warm up Unplug The Control From Your
Wall Socket!
E. If you purchased a massage unit, install it now. Since massage
units vary in installation, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Do Not Place Unit On Top Of Heating Pad, Keep 6” From Pad!
CAUTION: Bodily contact with heater pad surface may be harmful and may be
caused by an under-filled mattress or "bottoming out" on the heater. Use of this heater
is strictly prohibited by an infant, invalid, anyone unable to feel heater, or anyone unable
to get out of bed without assistance. After bed set-up is completed, lie down on mattress
to ensure no part of the body is in contact with the bottom of the deck board. Any
contact with the bottom of the bed is "bottoming out" and could possibly cause harmful burns.
STEP 6: INSTALL SAFETY LINER AND MATTRESS
A. If you purchased the standard safety liner, spread it out in
your frame. Smooth out all wrinkles, especially over the
heating pad. Align all corners of the liner to the corners of your
frame.
B. Simply spread out the Stand-Up liner inside your frame. It will
stand-up inside the frame by itself. Smooth out the wrinkles,
especially over the heating pad!
C. Lay out your watermattress inside your safety liner with the
valve at the foot. Carefully avoid shifting any of the baffle
inserts, if you bought a motion reduced mattress. Remove the
wrinkles on the bottom and make sure the mattress is evenly
centered.
D. Align the corners of the mattress with the corners of the
frame. If your safety liner, heating pad, or thermostat sensor
tube shifted during this process, reposition it now.
20
STEP 7: FILLING THE WATER MATTRESS
A. From your bathroom faucet, remove the aerator by unscrewing
it. (If your bathroom faucet does not have an aerator, you will
have to use your kitchen faucet or an outside faucet.)
B. Attach the faucet connector you purchased with your
waterbed care kit, into your faucet. Next attach a garden hose
to the faucet connector. Make a tight fit to avoid spray leakage
(a towel placed over the faucet while filling will keep any
leakage from spraying.) To help eliminate unclean water in your
bed, flush running water though the garden hose for about 10
minutes before filling your bed.
C. Pour in your waterbed conditioner. Attach the waterbed hose
connector onto your garden hose. Insert it into your "poppedup" valve and attach the hose connector and valve securely
together to avoid leakage. Wrap a towel around this connector
to soak up any unavoidable leakage.
D. Fill your waterbed, checking on it periodically, with mild to warm
water approximately one quarter to one half inch below the side of
the frame boards. Shut off the water and remove the hose.
E. Remove the air bubbles inside the mattress. Do this by
"pushing" them with a broomstick towards the valve which is
"popped-up". Remove all the bubbles or they will create a
"sloshing" sound. You will have to remove air bubbles again in
about three days and also occasionally thereafter.
F. Insert the plug and securely screw on the cap. Plug in your
temperature control system according to specific
manufacturer's instructions and turn the thermostat to 80 - 85.
Within 3 days, you can more accurately adjust up or down to
your personal comfort level.
G. This close up photo shows how to insert your cap and plug
without allowing air to get in the mattress and without allowing
water to spill out. You cap and plug may be a one piece design.
Not separate as shown.

SPECIAL SECTION: DRAINING YOUR WATERBED
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR WATERBED HEATER BEFORE
DRAINING OR FILLING YOUR WATERBED!
A. First, unplug your heater. Next, insert your garden hose with
waterbed hose connector into the "popped-up" valve, as pictured.
(Note: Photos show the standard syphon pump. However, for best
results and ease of draining, we suggest you rent an
electric pump available at InnoMax. For instructions on draining using
an electric pump refer to Electric Pump Usage/Draining Instructions
located in the Softside Fluid Support Assembly Instructions section.)
B. Weigh down the area around the valve with a few heavy
objects, such as telephone books. This step will help prevent
air bubbles inside the mattress from getting in your garden hose
and stopping the siphoning action you will create.
C. Mount your drain pump to your closest faucet and attach your
garden hose. Make sure your fittings are tight. With the "bell
valve" in the "up" position, turn on the water to put more water
in the mattress. This step pushes the air in your hose into your
bed so you can create the continuous water siphon you need.
(If you don't have a drain pump, see Draining without a drain
pump further instructions.)
D. Once water is flowing into the bed for a few seconds, turn the
"bell valve" to the "down" position, leaving the water flowing full
blast. The water from your faucet flowing through your drain
pump will suck the water out of your bed. This will take one or
two hours depending on water pressure. Do not allow air to get
in the hose.
E. If you have a motion reduced mattress you must show
special care while draining and moving your bed to prevent the
interior baffles from shifting. HOLD THE BAFFLES IN PLACE
IN THE MATTRESS AND LIFT UP ONE END. This will allow
the remaining water to flow toward the valve.
F. FOLD YOUR MATTRESS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LET THE
BAFFLES SHIFT OUT OF PLACE. If any shifting does occur,
you should reposition them before refilling your mattress.
DRAINING WITHOUT A DRAIN PUMP:
1. Always unplug your waterbed heater before draining or filling your waterbed.
2. Attach your garden hose onto an outside faucet (the hose can go up through an open window.)
3. Turn on your water for fifteen seconds. This pushes the air in the garden hose into your
bed so you can create a continuous water siphon.
4. Turn off the water. Disconnect the hose and let it drop to the ground. As long as the
end of the hose is lower than your waterbed, gravity will siphon the water completely out.
