Safety Information
- Complete assembly is required. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled according to the instructions to prevent accidents.
- Keep the sofa set out of reach of children and pets during assembly and operation to prevent injury.
- Do not expose the sofa to excessive heat sources or open flames, as this may damage the material and pose a fire hazard.
- Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading and drying of the leather.
- Do not stand on the sofa or recline mechanism.
- Ensure sufficient clearance around the sofa when operating the recline function to avoid obstructions or pinching.
Setup and Assembly
The Vente-unique PAKITA Relax Sofa Set requires full assembly. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Verify that all components listed in the packing list are present.
- Attach Legs: Locate the sofa legs and attach them to the designated points on the bottom of each sofa section. Ensure they are securely tightened.
- Connect Backrests: Slide the backrest sections onto the metal brackets located on the base of the sofa. Push down firmly until they click into place.
- Assemble Recline Mechanism: If the recline mechanism requires separate assembly, follow the specific instructions provided with the hardware. Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened.
- Position Sofas: Once assembled, carefully move the sofas to their desired location. Ensure there is adequate space behind and in front of the sofas for the recline function to operate freely.

Operating Instructions (Manual Recline)
Your PAKITA sofa set features a manual recline mechanism for enhanced comfort. Follow these steps to operate the recline function:
- Engage Recline: Locate the recline lever, typically on the side of the sofa. Pull the lever to release the footrest and initiate the recline motion.
- Adjust Position: Lean back gently to recline the backrest to your desired position. The mechanism allows for multiple reclining angles.
- Return to Upright: To return to the upright position, push down on the footrest with your legs while leaning forward. The backrest will follow, and the footrest will lock back into place.
Note: Ensure no objects or body parts are in the path of the moving parts of the recline mechanism to prevent injury or damage.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your buffalo leather sofa set.
- Regular Cleaning: Dust the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth (water only) and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the leather finish. Use only specialized leather cleaning products if necessary, following their instructions carefully.
- Protect from Sunlight and Heat: Keep the sofa away from direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources to prevent drying, cracking, and fading of the leather.
- Spill Management: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
- Mechanism Lubrication: Periodically check the recline mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts, avoiding contact with the leather.
