4. Setup and Assembly

The Vente-unique CALIFE sofa requires minimal assembly. It is recommended that two people handle the setup due to the item's weight (92 kg).

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure no components are discarded with the packaging.
2. Positioning: Place the sofa in its desired location. Ensure there is adequate space for the conversion mechanism to operate freely.
3. Feet Attachment (if separate): If the PVC feet are not pre-attached, securely screw them into the designated points at the bottom of the sofa frame. All necessary tools for assembly are included.
4. Cushion Placement: Ensure seat and back cushions are correctly positioned. The seat cushions are removable.

No complex assembly of connectors is required.

5. Operating Instructions

The CALIFE sofa features an express convertible mechanism, allowing quick transformation between sofa and bed modes.

5.1 Converting from Sofa to Bed

1. Clear the Area: Ensure there are no objects in front of the sofa that would obstruct the bed's extension.
2. Access Handle: Locate the conversion handle behind the back cushions.
3. Pull to Deploy: Firmly pull the handle. The mechanism will smoothly unfold, extending the mattress into a bed position.
4. Adjust: Once fully extended, ensure the mattress is flat and stable.

5.2 Converting from Bed to Sofa

1. Remove Bedding: Remove any pillows, blankets, or sheets from the mattress.
2. Lift and Push: Gently lift the mattress frame and push it back towards the sofa base. The mechanism will retract, folding the mattress back into the sofa.
3. Secure: Ensure the mechanism is fully retracted and the sofa is securely locked in its seating position.

The backrest of the sofa includes two integrated pillow holders for convenient storage.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CALIFE sofa, follow these care guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner suitable for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position your sofa away from direct sun or use curtains/blinds.
• Mechanism Care: Periodically check the convertible mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts may be beneficial.
• Cushion Care: The seat cushions are removable. Rotate and fluff cushions regularly to maintain their shape and even out wear.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your CALIFE sofa, please consider the following:

• Conversion Difficulty: Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Check that all parts are aligned. Do not force the mechanism.
• Unstable Feet: Verify that all PVC feet are securely tightened.
• Unusual Noises: If the mechanism makes unusual noises, ensure it is clean and free of debris. A small amount of lubricant might help.
