5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Converting from Sofa to Bed
The Launei sofa features a convenient clic-clac mechanism for easy conversion.
- Clear the Area: Ensure there is enough space behind the sofa for the backrest to recline fully. Remove any decorative cushions.
- Recline Backrest: Gently push the backrest forward until you hear a "clic" sound. Then, push it further down until it lies flat, creating a bed surface. You may hear a second "clac" sound as it locks into the flat position.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Launei sofa.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then blot with a clean, water-dampened cloth to remove soap residue. Do not rub vigorously.
- General Cleaning: Regularly vacuum the sofa using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of the velvet fabric.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Launei sofa, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose leg attachments or frame connections. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts on the legs and frame. Ensure the sofa is on a level surface. |
| Clic-clac mechanism is stiff or not engaging. | Mechanism might be obstructed or require lubrication. | Ensure no objects are blocking the mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary. Operate the mechanism several times to loosen it. |
