Assembly and Setup⁚ Step-by-Step Instructions
Setting up your Leggett & Platt adjustable base typically begins with carefully unpacking the base and its components from the shipping carton. Ensure you have all necessary parts‚ including legs (the number varies by model)‚ remote control‚ and any hardware. The base itself may require unfolding or assembling sections‚ following the diagrams included in your specific model’s instructions. Attaching the legs usually involves simple insertion and securing mechanisms. Next‚ connect the power cord to the base and to a power outlet. Finally‚ pair the remote control with the base‚ following the instructions provided in your user manual. Always refer to the specific instructions accompanying your model as steps may vary. It’s recommended to have a second person assist with handling the base due to its weight. Take precautions to avoid scratching the finish during assembly and placement. Consult the troubleshooting section if you encounter any issues during setup.
Unpacking and Preparing the Base
Begin by carefully removing your Leggett & Platt adjustable base from its packaging. This usually involves a shipping carton and potentially additional internal protective materials. Before discarding any packing materials‚ thoroughly inspect the contents against the included parts list to ensure everything is present. This list should detail the base itself‚ the legs (six or eight‚ depending on the model)‚ the remote control‚ and any additional hardware like mattress retainers or mounting brackets. Inspect the base for any signs of damage incurred during shipping. Note the location of any power cords or connectors. If anything is missing or damaged‚ immediately contact Leggett & Platt customer service. Once you’ve verified all components are present and undamaged‚ carefully lift the adjustable base onto a clean‚ level surface‚ providing adequate space to unfold or assemble the base according to your model’s instructions. Avoid placing it on slats or an unstable surface.
Attaching Legs and Other Components
With the base positioned correctly‚ begin attaching the legs. Consult your specific model’s instructions for precise placement and attachment methods. Generally‚ this involves aligning the legs with designated holes or slots on the base frame and securing them using provided screws‚ bolts‚ or other fasteners. Ensure that the legs are firmly attached and evenly distributed to provide stable support for the entire base. If your model includes adjustable legs‚ now is the time to adjust them to your desired height. After attaching the legs‚ proceed to install any other components such as mattress retainers. These usually clip or attach to the top or sides of the base frame‚ providing a secure hold for your mattress and preventing it from shifting. Refer to the diagrams and instructions included in your manual for the proper placement and installation of these components. Pay close attention to any warnings or cautions regarding weight limits or proper handling techniques. Remember‚ two adults are often recommended to handle the base due to its weight. Take your time and ensure each component is correctly and securely fastened before proceeding to the next step.
Connecting Power and Remote Control
Locate the power cord extending from the head end of your Leggett & Platt adjustable base. Plug the cord securely into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary‚ and ensure the outlet is easily accessible for disconnection if required. Next‚ locate the receiver unit on the base; its location varies depending on the model. Carefully insert the wireless remote control receiver‚ if applicable. Ensure it clicks into place securely; Then‚ pair the remote control with the base’s receiver‚ following the specific instructions provided in your model’s manual. This usually involves pressing specific buttons on both the remote and the base’s control panel. Test the remote by adjusting the head and foot of the base; if it does not function‚ recheck all connections and consult the troubleshooting section of your manual for further assistance. Remember to keep the remote control in a safe‚ dry location away from moisture and direct sunlight to extend its lifespan and operational efficiency. Avoid dropping or subjecting the remote to harsh impact. Once the pairing is complete and the remote is fully functional‚ carefully place the base and the mattress atop it‚ ensuring the whole system is stable and ready for use.
Operating the Adjustable Base⁚ Using the Remote
Your Leggett & Platt adjustable base remote offers intuitive control. Familiarize yourself with the button layout; most remotes feature buttons for raising and lowering the head and foot of the bed‚ as well as massage functions (if equipped). Press the desired button to adjust the bed’s position. Many models offer preset positions for reading‚ watching TV‚ or sleeping. Experiment with these settings to find your preferred comfort levels. The remote also might include memory settings‚ allowing you to save your favorite positions for quick recall. Consult your specific model’s manual for detailed instructions on using memory settings. If your base has a massage function‚ use the corresponding buttons to adjust the intensity and area of the massage. Note that massage functions can vary across models. Remember to always operate the base within its weight capacity limits to prevent damage and ensure safety. The remote may also have a lock function; this prevents accidental adjustments. Refer to your user manual for instructions on activating or deactivating the lock feature. If you encounter any problems‚ consult the troubleshooting section of your manual or contact Leggett & Platt customer support.
Troubleshooting Common Issues⁚ Solutions and Tips
If your Leggett & Platt adjustable base malfunctions‚ first check the power connection. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the base and the wall outlet. A tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse could also interrupt power; check your home’s electrical panel. If the remote isn’t working‚ try replacing the batteries. If the issue persists‚ check for obstructions preventing smooth movement. Items under or around the base can hinder its operation. If the base makes unusual noises‚ it might indicate a problem with the motor or other components. In this case‚ avoid using the base until you’ve contacted customer support. Some models exhibit slight humming during operation; this is usually normal. However‚ excessively loud or unusual sounds warrant attention. If the base fails to respond to the remote‚ try resetting it (your model’s manual will specify how). Problems with specific functions (like massage) might require a check of the settings or the remote’s battery. If the problem continues after these basic steps‚ contact Leggett & Platt customer service. They can provide more in-depth troubleshooting guidance or arrange for repairs under warranty‚ if applicable. Remember to always consult your specific model’s manual for detailed instructions and troubleshooting steps.
Maintenance and Care⁚ Extending Base Lifespan
Regular maintenance ensures your Leggett & Platt adjustable base functions optimally and lasts longer. Avoid placing heavy objects directly on the base’s surface‚ as this could damage the components. Keep the base clean by regularly wiping it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners; a simple solution of mild soap and water is usually sufficient. Periodically inspect the base for any loose screws or connections; tighten them as needed to ensure stability. Check the power cord regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Replace a damaged cord immediately to prevent electrical hazards. If the base is equipped with massage features‚ ensure that the massage settings are not used excessively as this can put stress on the motor and internal components. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and maintenance. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations‚ discontinue use and contact customer service. Proper care‚ along with occasional inspections‚ will prolong the lifespan of your adjustable base and ensure many years of comfortable sleep. Remember to consult your specific model’s manual for detailed care instructions.

They can assist with troubleshooting‚ provide repair guidance‚ and address any issues you might encounter. The primary contact method is often a toll-free telephone number‚ easily found on their website or within the warranty documentation. The number is frequently 800-888-3078‚ but always verify this against the information provided with your specific base model.

While retail stores or dealers may offer initial assistance‚ Leggett & Platt’s customer service is the designated point of contact for warranty issues and technical support related to the adjustable base itself.
Programming the Remote⁚ Single and Dual Base Setup
Your Leggett & Platt adjustable base remote allows for both single and dual base programming. For a single base setup‚ simply follow the instructions in your manual to pair the remote with your base. This usually involves pressing and holding specific buttons on both the remote and the base’s control panel until they sync. The process may vary slightly depending on your specific model; consult your owner’s manual for precise instructions. For dual base setups (for split king or queen configurations)‚ the process will be more involved‚ often requiring you to program each base individually and then link them together via the remote. This typically involves selecting a “dual base” mode on the remote control and following a specific sequence of button presses to establish communication between the two bases. This allows for simultaneous or independent adjustment of both sides of the bed. Ensure both bases are plugged in and powered on before attempting to pair them. A detailed explanation‚ including diagrams and illustrations‚ is usually provided within the remote control’s instruction booklet. If difficulties arise‚ contact Leggett & Platt customer service for assistance.
Safety Precautions⁚ Important Warnings and Cautions
Before operating your Leggett & Platt adjustable base‚ carefully review these safety precautions. Never operate the base if the power cord is damaged or frayed. Always ensure the base is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. Avoid placing heavy objects directly on the base that could damage the mechanisms. Exercise caution when moving the base; it is heavy and requires two adults for safe handling to prevent injury. Keep children and pets away from moving parts during operation. Do not attempt to repair the base yourself; contact customer service for authorized repairs. Never place fingers or other objects between moving parts. Always unplug the base before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Refer to the weight limits specified in your owner’s manual for safe operation and to avoid damage to the base. Be mindful of the moving parts and avoid entrapment. If you experience any unusual noises or malfunctions‚ immediately stop using the base and contact customer support. Follow all instructions in the owner’s manual to ensure safe and proper operation of your adjustable base. Regularly inspect the base and its components for any signs of wear or damage.
