Maintenance and Care

Leather Care

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For specific leather care, use products recommended for genuine leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Protection: Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying, fading, or cracking of the leather.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Fjords Mustang Recliner.

Chair Does Not Recline Smoothly

Possible Cause: Obstruction or uneven weight distribution.

Solution: Ensure there are no objects obstructing the reclining mechanism. Adjust your seating position to distribute weight evenly. The gliding mechanism relies on body weight for smooth operation.

Headrest Feels Uncomfortable

Possible Cause: Headrest is not adjusted to your height.

Solution: The headrest is adjustable. Gently slide it up or down to find the optimal position for your neck and head support.

Squeaking Noises

Possible Cause: Minor friction in moving parts.

Solution: In most cases, minor squeaking will resolve with regular use. If persistent, contact customer support. Avoid applying lubricants yourself, as this may damage components or void the warranty.

Leather Appears Dry or Faded

Possible Cause: Exposure to direct sunlight or heat, lack of proper conditioning.

Solution: Ensure the chair is not placed in direct sunlight or too close to heat sources. Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for genuine leather, following the product's instructions.
