3. Setup and Assembly
Your Catnapper Malone Power Recliner requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to set up your recliner:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging materials until you are satisfied with the product.
- Position: Place the recliner base in your desired location. Ensure there is adequate space behind the chair for full recline. A minimum distance of 18 inches from the wall is required for full recline.
- Connect Power: Locate the power cord and connect it to the power adapter, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Attach Back (if separate): If the backrest is separate, align the metal receivers on the backrest with the posts on the seat base and slide down firmly until it locks into place. You may hear a click.

- Recline: Press and hold the down arrow button on the remote control to recline the chair and extend the footrest. Release the button when you reach your desired position. The chair offers infinite reclining positions, including a full "Lay Flat" recline.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Catnapper Malone Power Recliner. The recliner features a durable polyester/rayon fabric upholstery.
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild, water-free cleaning solvent or a professional upholstery cleaner. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric.
- Protect from Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the fabric.
- Mechanism Care: The reclining mechanism is designed for long-term use and typically requires no lubrication. Keep the area around the mechanism free of obstructions.
- Power Cord: Periodically inspect the power cord for any damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
