Operating Instructions: Converting the Sofa
The POLANI sofa features a convenient clic-clac mechanism, allowing it to easily convert from a 3-seater sofa to a comfortable bed for two persons.
To Convert from Sofa to Bed:
- Clear the Area: Ensure there is enough space behind the sofa for the backrest to lay flat. Remove any cushions or objects from the sofa.
- Lift the Backrest: Gently push the backrest forward until you hear a "click" sound. This disengages the locking mechanism.
- Lower the Backrest: Continue to push the backrest forward slightly, then slowly lower it backward until it lies completely flat, creating a bed surface. You may hear another "click" as it locks into the flat position.
To Convert from Bed to Sofa:
- Lift the Backrest: From the bed position, lift the backrest upwards until you hear a "click" sound.
- Engage Seating Position: Continue to lift the backrest until it reaches the upright seating position and locks into place with a final "click".

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vente-unique POLANI sofa.
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the velvet upholstery 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, as this can spread the stain and damage the velvet pile. For stubborn stains, use a mild upholstery cleaner, testing it first on an inconspicuous area.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of the velvet fabric. Position your sofa away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the fabric and finish.
- Mechanism Care: Periodically check the clic-clac mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoiding fabric).
- Legs and Frame: Wipe metal legs with a soft, damp cloth. Regularly check that all screws and bolts are tight to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your POLANI sofa, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose leg 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 needs lubrication or is misaligned. | Ensure no obstructions are blocking the mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts. If misalignment is suspected, re-check assembly. |
| Squeaking noises during use or conversion. | Loose connections or friction in the mechanism. | Tighten all fasteners. Lubricate the clic-clac mechanism as described above. |
| Velvet fabric appears flattened or matted. | Regular use or pressure. | Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft brush in the direction of the nap. Light steaming can also help restore the pile. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Vente-unique customer support.
