Setup Instructions
Your Fjords Oslo recliner requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to set up your chair:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components are present: chair base, seat, and any included accessories.
- Attach Base: Place the chair seat upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching. Align the central swivel mechanism of the seat with the base. Securely attach the base to the seat using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened firmly.
- Position Chair: Carefully turn the assembled chair upright and place it in your desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the chair for full recline and swivel motion.

Operating Instructions
The Fjords Oslo recliner offers several comfort adjustments:
- Reclining: To recline, lean back gently. The chair's continuous back adjustment allows you to find your preferred angle. To return to an upright position, lean forward. The integrated footrest will extend and retract with the back adjustment.
- Swivel Function: The manual version of the Oslo recliner features a 360-degree swivel rotation. Simply rotate the chair to your desired direction.
- Active Release System: The unique Fjords Active Release System provides optimal neck support. This integrated mechanism can be adjusted with a single movement to customize your sitting experience. Locate the adjustment lever or knob, typically on the side of the headrest, and adjust to your comfort.
- Rocking Function: The chair includes a comfortable rocking function. To engage, simply lean back and allow the chair to rock gently.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Fjords Oslo recliner.
- Leather Care:
- Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- For spills, blot immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub.
- Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically, following the product manufacturer's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, which can dry out and fade the leather.
- Mechanism Care: The internal mechanisms are designed for durability. Avoid forcing the recline or swivel. If any part feels stiff, do not apply excessive force. Contact support if issues persist.
- Cleaning Base: Wipe the chair base with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your recliner, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
