4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Manual Reclining Mechanism

The Hernani sofa features a manual recline function on the two end seats. To recline:

1. Locate the recline lever on the outer side of the armrest for the desired seat.
2. Pull the lever firmly towards you. This will release the backrest and allow the footrest to extend.
3. Lean back gently to recline the backrest to your preferred angle (up to 160 degrees). The mechanism operates using body pressure.
4. To return to the upright position, push down on the footrest with your legs and lean forward. The backrest will return to its original position, and the footrest will retract. Ensure the mechanism locks into place.
