Setup and Assembly
Follow these step-by-step instructions to assemble your GAMDIAS Aphrodite EF1 Gaming Chair:
- Attach Casters to Star Base: Insert each of the five casters firmly into the holes at the end of each leg of the star base until they click into place.
- Install Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the central hole of the assembled star base. Then, slide the gas lift cover over the gas lift cylinder.
- Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat Base: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat base. Ensure the front of the mechanism (usually indicated by an arrow or lever) faces the front of the seat. Secure it using the provided screws and washers. Tighten all screws evenly.
- Attach Armrests to Seat Base: Secure the two armrests to the sides of the seat base using the designated screws. Ensure they are oriented correctly (left armrest on the left, right armrest on the right).
- Connect Seat to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat base (with mechanism and armrests attached) onto the gas lift cylinder. Press down firmly to ensure a secure connection.
- Attach Backrest to Seat Base: Align the backrest brackets with the corresponding holes on the seat base. Secure the backrest using the remaining screws. Tighten all screws evenly.
- Attach Cushions: Strap the lumbar support cushion and headrest cushion to the backrest as desired for personalized comfort.
After assembly, ensure all screws are tight and the chair feels stable before use.
Operating Instructions
Your GAMDIAS Aphrodite EF1 Gaming Chair offers several adjustable features for optimal comfort and ergonomics:
- Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever under the right side of the seat. Pull the lever upwards to raise or lower the seat. Release the lever at your desired height to lock it in place.
- Backrest Recline: Use the lever on the right side of the chair, near the backrest. Pull the lever upwards, lean back to your desired angle (up to 150 degrees), and then release the lever to lock the backrest position.
- Tilt Mechanism: The chair features a rocking/tilt function. Pull the lever under the left side of the seat outwards to enable tilting. Push the lever inwards to lock the chair in an upright position.
- Tilt Tension Adjustment: Rotate the round knob located under the front of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase the tension, making the chair harder to tilt. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease tension, allowing for easier tilting.
- 2D Adjustable Armrests:
- Height Adjustment: Press the button on the side of each armrest to raise or lower its height. Release the button to lock.
- Swivel Adjustment: The armrest pads can be rotated left or right to find your preferred position.
- Lumbar and Head Support Cushions: These cushions are attached with elastic straps and can be adjusted vertically along the backrest to provide support where you need it most.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and performance of your gaming chair:
- Cleaning: Wipe the chair clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the material.
- Inspection: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
- Gas Lift: If the gas lift cylinder begins to lose its ability to hold height or adjust smoothly, it may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Casters: Keep casters clean from hair and debris to ensure smooth movement.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your GAMDIAS Aphrodite EF1 Gaming Chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Chair Sinks or Does Not Stay Up:
- Possible Cause: Gas lift cylinder malfunction.
- Solution: The gas lift may need to be replaced. Contact GAMDIAS customer support for a replacement.
- Chair Wobbles or Feels Unstable:
- Possible Cause: Loose screws or uneven assembly.
- Solution: Check and tighten all assembly screws, particularly those connecting the mechanism plate to the seat and the backrest to the seat. Ensure all casters are fully inserted into the star base.
- Squeaking Noises:
- Possible Cause: Loose connections or friction between moving parts.
- Solution: Tighten all screws. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to friction points (avoiding the gas lift cylinder) if the noise persists.
- Backrest Does Not Recline or Lock:
- Possible Cause: Recline mechanism obstruction or malfunction.
- Solution: Ensure no objects are obstructing the recline lever or mechanism. If the issue persists after checking, contact customer support.
