Important Safety Information
Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. The IKEA SNIGLAR baby cot is designed for safety, but it is crucial to follow these guidelines to prevent accidents.
Safety Warnings
- Do not use the cot if any part is broken, torn, or missing. Contact your local IKEA store for replacement parts. Do not substitute parts.
- Strangulation Hazard: Do not leave items in the cot or place the cot near products that could provide a foothold or present a danger of suffocation or strangulation (e.g., strings, blind/curtain cords).
- Do not attach items: Do not attach hooks, handles, or other objects to the cot, as these can pose a strangulation hazard.
- Heat Sources: Be aware of the risk of open fire and other sources of strong heat, such as electric bar fires or gas fires, in the near vicinity of the cot.
- Safety Gap: To avoid the risk of serious injury, the distance between the bed and the wall must always be less than 65 mm or more than 230 mm.
Mattress Requirements
The minimum recommended mattress size for this cot is 120 cm x 60 cm. The thickness of the mattress must not exceed 12 cm.
The thickness of the mattress should be such that the height from the upper surface of the mattress to the upper edge of the cot frame is at least 500 mm in the lowest position of the cot base and at least 200 mm in the highest position of the cot base.
Bed Base Adjustment
The lowest position of the bed base is the safest. To prevent falls, the mattress base should be adjusted to the lowest position as soon as the baby is old enough to sit up.
Care and Maintenance
Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Usage Limits
To prevent injury from falls, the cot should no longer be used for a child once they are able to climb out of the cot.
