5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and beauty of your Fjords Anne R Recliner and Ottoman.
- General Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and wood finish.
- Leather Care: For specific leather care, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner as recommended by leather care specialists. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wood Base Care: Dust the wood base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wood-safe cleaner and polish as needed.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause leather to fade or crack. Position your recliner away from direct sunlight or use window coverings.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your recliner, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Reclining Mechanism Stiffness: If the reclining mechanism feels stiff, ensure no objects are obstructing its movement. Regular use typically smooths the mechanism. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
- Headrest Adjustment Issues: Check that the manual release mechanism is fully engaged or disengaged as intended. Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the mechanism.
- Swivel Base Not Rotating Smoothly: Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, even surface. Check for any debris or obstructions under the base.
- Unusual Noises: If you hear creaking or other unusual noises, inspect all visible connections for tightness. Do not attempt to disassemble the chair. Contact customer support for assistance.
