Safety Precautions - Childcare Bristol Cot 091007 Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all the instructions before assembly and use of the cot. Keep
instructions for future use.
ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED:
DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF SMALL PARTS DURING ASSEMBLY, KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.
TO PREVENT FALLS, THE MATTRESS BASE OF THIS COT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO THE
LOWEST POSITION BEFORE THE CHILD CAN SIT UP.
RECOMMENDED MATTRESS SIZE:
690 MM WIDE X 1300 MM LONG X 100 MM-150 MM THICK.
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
FEATURES OF THE COT ARE NOT COMPROMISED.
Use only accessories as recommended by the supplier.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions could result in serious injury or death.
This cot has been manufactured for one child only, with a maximum weight of 18kgs.
The drop side must be raised when the child is unsupervised.
When the mattress base is assembled in the lower position, ensure the higher cot base holes are covered tightly with the
filling bolts supplied. This is to prevent finger entrapment, swallowing and inhalation hazards.
ENSURE the cot is placed at a reasonable distance from curtains, blinds, heaters and power points.
ENSURE the cot is completely assembled and check that all parts are securely tightened before placing the child into the cot.
ENSURE medication, string, elastic, small toys or small items such as money etc are always kept out of the child's reach
when in the cot.
DO NOT over tighten bolts/screws.
ENSURE that the child is clear of any moving parts when adjusting the cot.
For warranty purposes, keep your sales receipt to provide proof of purchase.
RECOMMENDED MATTRESS SIZE (SOLD SEPARATELY):
THIS COT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED FOR USE WITH A MATTRESS WHICH MEASURES 1300 MM LONG BY 690 MM WIDE
AND 100-150 MM IN THICKNESS.
The width and length are specified because it is important that the gaps between the mattress and the sides and ends of
the cot will not exceed 40 mm when the mattress is pushed to one side or end, and 20mm when the mattress is centred
in the cot.
This is to minimise the risk of a child's limb becoming caught in the gap.
The thickness of the mattress has been specified to ensure that the depth of the cot is greater than 500 mm with the
mattress base in the lower position and is greater than 300mm with the mattress base in the upper position, to minimise
the risk of a child climbing or falling out of the cot.
SUFFOCATION HAZARD – Infants can suffocate;
• In gaps between an extra pad or mattress.
• In soft bedding.
To reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), paediatricians recommend healthy infants be placed on their backs to
sleep, unless otherwise advised by your physician.
