5. Operating Instructions

The CALITO sofa bed features an Italian quick-opening system for easy conversion.

5.1 Converting from Sofa to Bed

1. Remove all cushions from the sofa.
2. Locate the pull handle or strap at the front of the seat.
3. Firmly pull the handle upwards and outwards. The mechanism will smoothly unfold, revealing the mattress and slatted base.
4. Continue pulling until the bed mechanism is fully extended and locked into place.
5. Make the bed with your desired bedding.

5.2 Converting from Bed to Sofa

1. Remove all bedding from the mattress.
2. Locate the mechanism release points (usually near the head of the bed frame).
3. Lift the bed frame slightly and push it inwards towards the sofa base. The mechanism will begin to fold.
4. Continue pushing until the bed is fully retracted and the sofa frame is in its upright position.
5. Replace the seat and backrest cushions.

5.3 Pillow Compartments

The CALITO sofa bed includes two integrated pillow compartments, typically located within the armrests or backrest structure. These compartments provide convenient storage for pillows when the unit is in sofa mode, keeping them clean and out of sight.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1 Fabric Care (Polyester)

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Removable Covers: The seat cushions are designed with removable covers. Follow the care label instructions for washing or dry cleaning.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading.

6.2 Mattress Care (Memory Foam)

• Rotation: Rotate the mattress periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to ensure even wear and prolong its lifespan. This mattress is designed with one special sleeping surface, so only rotate head-to-foot, do not flip.
• Ventilation: Allow the mattress to air out regularly by removing bedding.
• Cleaning: Spot clean the mattress surface with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Avoid saturating the memory foam. Allow to air dry completely before replacing bedding.
• Protector: Consider using a mattress protector to shield against spills and stains.

6.3 General Maintenance

• Periodically check all screws and bolts and tighten them if necessary.
• Avoid jumping on the sofa or bed, as this can damage the frame and mechanism.
• Do not drag the sofa; always lift it with assistance when moving.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Converting: Ensure all cushions are removed. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Lubricate moving parts if necessary (use a silicone-based lubricant).
• Squeaking Noise: This may indicate loose connections. Check and tighten all assembly bolts and screws. If the noise persists, it might be due to friction in the mechanism; a small amount of lubricant can help.
• Unstable or Wobbly: Verify that the sofa is on a level surface. Check that all legs are securely attached and tightened.
• Mattress Sagging: Ensure the mattress is properly aligned on the slatted base. If sagging persists after rotation and proper care, contact customer support.
