Operating Instructions

Desk Operation:

• Height Adjustment: The desk features a manual lifting mechanism. Adjust the height by loosening the fasteners on the legs, setting to the desired height (between 68 cm and 78 cm), and re-tightening securely.
• Cable Management: Use the integrated cable management net and the perforated back panel to organize and route your cables, keeping your workspace tidy.

Chair Operation:

• Height Adjustment: Use the lever located under the seat to adjust the chair's height. Pull the lever up while seated to lower, or pull up while standing to raise.

• Tilt Mechanism: The chair features a synchronised seat and back tilt mechanism. Use the other lever (if present, or adjust the same lever differently) to recline the backrest and tilt the seat simultaneously for optimal comfort.
• Safety Castors: The castors are designed to lock when you stand up, preventing the chair from rolling away. They unlock when you sit down, allowing for movement.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your IKEA UTESPELARE Gaming Desk and Chair:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. For best results, follow with a dry cloth to remove any moisture. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not place excessive weight on the desk or chair beyond their intended capacity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your product, consider the following common solutions:

• Desk Wobbles: Ensure all leg fasteners are securely tightened and the desk is on a level surface. Adjust leg levelers if present.
• Chair Not Adjusting Height: Check if the gas lift lever is fully engaged. Ensure there is no obstruction. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement.
• Chair Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Clean any debris (hair, dust) from the casters. Ensure the safety castors are disengaged when seated.
• Squeaking Noises: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to moving parts or joints if squeaking occurs. Avoid oil-based lubricants on plastic components.
