Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Christopher Knight Home Edwin Recliner. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your new recliner. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure proper function and longevity of your product.
Safety Information
Important Safety Notice: Ensure proper assembly according to instructions. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds. Use on a hard floor surface for stability. Intended for adult use only. Keep children and pets away from the reclining mechanism.
Setup Instructions
While the Edwin Recliner is designed for straightforward setup, some assembly is required. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify that all components are present according to the packing list (not provided in this manual, refer to your product packaging).
- Attach Backrest: Align the metal brackets on the backrest with the receiving slots on the base of the chair. Slide the backrest down firmly until it clicks securely into place. You may need to apply gentle pressure.
- Attach Legs/Feet (if separate): If your model includes separate legs or feet, screw them into the designated threaded holes at the bottom of the chair base. Ensure they are tightened firmly by hand. Do not overtighten.
- Final Check: Gently rock and push on the chair to ensure all connections are secure and stable before initial use.
Understanding the dimensions of your recliner is important for placement in your home:
Operating Instructions
The Edwin Recliner features a simple reclining mechanism for your comfort. Follow these steps to operate your recliner:
- To Recline: Locate the lever on the side of the recliner (typically on the right side when seated). Pull the lever firmly towards you to release the footrest and allow the backrest to recline. Lean back gently to achieve your desired reclining angle.
- To Return to Upright Position: Push the footrest down with your legs until it locks into place. The backrest will simultaneously return to its upright position. Ensure the footrest is fully locked before standing to prevent accidental movement.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the life of your recliner.
- Cleaning: Clean with mild detergent and water. Use a soft, clean cloth and blot spills immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the fabric and finish.
- Moving/Storage: For safe moving or long-term storage, the recliner may require partial disassembly (e.g., removing the backrest) to prevent damage to the frame or mechanism.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Mechanism Care: Keep the reclining mechanism free of dust and debris. If the mechanism becomes stiff or squeaky, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoid oil-based lubricants).
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Edwin Recliner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Reclining Mechanism Not Engaging:
- Ensure the reclining lever is pulled completely. Check for any obstructions (e.g., blankets, objects) around the mechanism or footrest that might be preventing full movement. Verify that the chair is on a level surface.
- Chair Feels Unstable or Wobbly:
- Verify that all legs are securely attached and resting evenly on the floor. Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, stable surface. Recheck all assembly connections, especially the backrest, to ensure they are fully engaged.
- Squeaking Noises:
- Squeaking often indicates friction in the reclining mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot points and moving parts of the mechanism. Avoid using WD-40 or similar oil-based products, as they can attract dust and grime.
