INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE & maintenance

For reasons of safety we only recommend the use of the Mamas & Papas size 300
mattress for this cot.
There should be a minimum of 500mm between the top of the mattress and the upper
edge of the cot side when the base is set in the lowest position.
There should be a minimum of 200mm between the top of the mattress and the upper
edge of the cot side when the base is set in the highest position. This distance is indicated
by the mattress height mark engraved in the cot.
The mattress should be no more than 40mm shorter or narrower than the internal length
or width of the cot.
If you leave the child unattended in the cot, always make sure that the drop side is in the
highest position.
Never leave anything in the cot which could provide a foothold for your child to climb out
or would present a danger of suffocation or strangulation.
Ensure that there are no loose screws that could trap parts of the childs body or clothing
(e.g. ribbons, drawstrings, necklaces) or pose a risk of strangulation.
Regularly check that all fittings and components of the cot are fully tightened and in
working order. If any parts have become worn or damaged then do not use the cot. Seek
advice by calling Customer Care on: +44 (0)845 268 2000.
Do not use replacement parts that are not recommended or supplied by Mamas & Papas.
Non-approved parts may render the repair or cot unsafe.
Do not place your cot in proximity of an open fire and other sources of heat, such as
radiators, electric or gas fires.
Your cot may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never use bleach or harsh abrasives.
Due to constant updating and improvements, some components may occasionally differ slightly from the diagrams shown in
