Operating Instructions
The La-Z-Boy Delano chair offers several adjustments to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.
Adjusting Seat Height
To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side of the chair, beneath the seat cushion. While seated, lift the lever to raise the seat. To lower the seat, lift the lever while applying slight body weight to the seat. Release the lever at the desired height.
Figure 4: Seat Height Customization. The right-side tab allows for easy adjustment of the chair's height to suit individual needs.
Adjusting Recline and Tilt Tension
The chair features a recline function and adjustable tilt tension. To recline, locate the lever on the left side of the chair, beneath the seat cushion. Pull the lever outwards to unlock the recline function, allowing the backrest to tilt. Push the lever inwards to lock the backrest in an upright position.
To adjust the tilt tension, rotate the round knob located at the front, underneath the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

Lumbar Support and ComfortCore Cushioning
The Delano chair is designed with a pillowed lumbar zone and ComfortCore with memory foam cushioning to provide enhanced support and comfort throughout extended use. These features are integrated into the chair's design and do not require manual adjustment.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your La-Z-Boy Delano Executive Office Chair.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the bonded leather upholstery with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Wood Finish: For the mahogany wood accents, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Casters: Periodically clean the casters to remove dust, hair, and debris that may hinder smooth movement.
- Fasteners: Every six months, check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the bonded leather to fade or crack. Position the chair away from direct sunlight when possible.
