Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Benchmaster Morgan recliner and ottoman.

• General Cleaning: Vacuum and brush away dust and grit as necessary using a soft brush attachment.
• Spot Cleaning: Clean along stitch seams, creases, and spaces that touch skin. Wipe with a soft, clean, dye-fast cloth dampened with plain water.
• Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a high-quality faux leather cleaning product or a mild, non-detergent, non-alkaline soap. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid: Do not use solvents or harsh detergents, as these can damage the faux leather material.
• Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources to prevent fading and material degradation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your recliner or ottoman, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Reclining Difficulty: Ensure no obstructions are preventing the mechanism from moving freely. Check that all assembly bolts are securely tightened.
• Swivel Stiffness: The swivel base should operate smoothly. If it feels stiff, check for any debris or obstructions beneath the base.
• Unstable Feel: Re-check all assembly connections to ensure they are properly tightened.

If problems persist, please contact Benchmaster customer support for assistance.
