Set up the bed as follows:
Unpack the bed.

Remove isolating foil from mains control box (see Removing Isolating Foil).
Install equipment and accessories (see Assembly).
In case of delivery with dismounted bed ends, mount the head and foot ends (see Bed Ends).
Set-up the bed only on a suitable floor surface (see Transport).
Ensure the mains cable does not collide or get stretched when adjusting the bed. Check the plug is
inserted correctly.
Do not leave any extension cords or power strips loose on the floor.
Ensure all the required mechanical and electrical prevention mechanisms are available on site.
There is no mains switch on the bed, i.e. the mains cable is the only means to isolate the bed from the
