Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this recliner. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly to ensure safety and ease.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Place them on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
- Attach Backrest: Align the metal receivers on the backrest with the posts on the recliner base. Slide the backrest down firmly until it locks into place. You should hear a click.
- Connect Power: Locate the power cord connection point at the rear or underside of the recliner base. Connect the power adapter to the recliner and then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Position Recliner: Place the recliner in its desired location, ensuring there is sufficient clearance from walls (minimum 2.2 inches for wall proximity) and other furniture for full recline.
Operating Instructions
Your BarcaLounger Kester Power Recliner features power recline and a power headrest for personalized comfort.
- Power Recline: Locate the control panel, typically on the side of the recliner. Press and hold the recline button to smoothly extend the footrest and recline the backrest. Release the button at your desired position. To return to the upright position, press and hold the opposite button.
- Power Headrest: Use the dedicated headrest buttons on the control panel to adjust the angle of the headrest independently. This allows for optimal neck and head support in any reclined position.
- USB Charging Port: The control panel includes a USB port. You can use this port to charge compatible electronic devices while relaxing in your recliner.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather recliner.
- Regular Cleaning: Dust the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Stain Removal: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather on your recliner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the leather finish.
- Sunlight and Heat: Avoid placing the recliner in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the leather to fade, dry out, or crack.
- Mechanism Lubrication: The reclining mechanism is designed for long-term use and typically does not require lubrication. If you notice unusual noises or stiffness, contact customer support.
