Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

For the easiest setup, assemble the items near the playpen’s locati0n. This avoids moving the heavy wooden structure.

Step 1: Preparing the Side Sections

• Begin by connecting component B to component F.
• Attach the connected parts to component A.
• Secure everything with two screws (a). You will need to repeat this step twice to create two main side sections.

Step 2: Corner Connections

Take the four G components (corner connectors) and attach them to the main body sections you just created. Fix one side of each connector using 2 screws (a).

Step 3: Expanding the Frame

Connect components A and E to both sides of your main body structure. Again, secure one side of these connections using 2 screws (a).

Step 4: Adding the Straight Connectors

Attach the remaining four F components (straight connectors) to the main body. Ensure you fix one side with 2 screws (a) to maintain the structure's integrity.

Step 5: Installing the Door and Activity Panel

Connect components D (the activity panel) and C (the gate panel) to the main body. Use 2 screws (a) on one side to lock them in place.

Pro-Tip: To operate the door, simply pull up on the designated locking mechanism to open the gate.

Step 6: Final Corner Securement

Attach the final four G components to the remaining corners of the main body, fixing one side with 2 screws (a).

Step 7: Completing the Loop

Finalize the assembly by connecting the side sections you assembled in Step 1 to the main body. Use the last 2 screws (a) to fix the side and complete the playpen enclosure.

Essential Maintenance and Care

To keep your toddler playpen safe and looking new, follow these maintenance tips:

• Weekly Check: Every week, check the tightness of all connecting parts, including screws and buckles. Tighten them immediately if they are loose.
• Cleaning: Wipe dust from the surface with a slightly damp cotton cloth, then dry immediately with a dry cloth. Pay close attention to handrail gaps and door bolts.
• Sun Protection: For any plastic parts, avoid direct sunlight to prevent aging, brittleness, and discoloration.
• Base Requirement: Warning: Do not use the wooden playpens without the base.

By following these simple steps, you can provide your child with a high-quality, wooden play area that is both functional and safe. Always remember that while a playpen is a great tool, it does not replace active adult supervision. Never leave your child unattended while they are playing.
