Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

of the top cover is present this means the cover is no longer water resistant & should be replaced
immediately.

Check all areas of the inner cells & any inner covers or foam sections. Note, any signs of soiling on
foam sections means the foam section must be replaced.
7.
Ensure that the underside of the mattress is clear of all sharp objects.
