5. Operating Instructions (Manual Recliner)

The PAKITA sofa features a manual reclining mechanism for both seats.

1. To Recline: Locate the lever on the side of the armrest. Pull the lever to release the footrest. Lean back gently to recline the backrest to your desired position. The mechanism operates by body pressure and does not require an electrical connection.
2. To Return to Upright Position: Push down on the footrest with your legs while simultaneously leaning forward. The backrest will return to its upright position, and the footrest will lock back into place.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your buffalo leather sofa.

• Regular Cleaning: Dust the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light spills, wipe immediately with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the leather to fade or dry out. Position the sofa away from direct sun exposure.
• Avoid Heat Sources: Keep the sofa away from radiators, fireplaces, and other heat sources to prevent drying and cracking of the leather.
• Protect from Sharp Objects: Avoid placing sharp objects on the sofa that could scratch or puncture the leather.
• Mechanism Care: Periodically check the reclining mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoid contact with leather).

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PAKITA sofa, refer to the following common solutions:

• Reclining Mechanism Stiff: Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Check if all assembly bolts are tightened correctly. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving metal parts if necessary.
• Sofa Wobbles: Verify that all feet are securely attached and that the sofa is placed on a level surface. Re-tighten any loose assembly hardware.
• Unusual Noises: Check for any loose connections or foreign objects caught in the mechanism. If noises persist, contact customer support.
