Setup and Assembly

Your Ikea EKTORP sofa is designed for straightforward assembly. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. Ensure all components are present before beginning assembly.

1. Unpack all components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify parts: Refer to the assembly guide to identify each component and hardware piece.
3. Follow step-by-step instructions: Assemble the frame, attach the legs, and then place the cushions and cover according to the diagrams.
4. Check dimensions for placement: Before final placement, ensure the sofa fits your intended space.

Operating Instructions

The Ikea EKTORP sofa is designed for comfortable everyday use. Simply sit and relax. To maximize the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your sofa, consider the following:

• Reversible Back Cushions: The back cushions are reversible. Periodically flip and rotate them to ensure even wear and maintain their shape and comfort over time.
• Fluffing Cushions: Gently fluff the back and seat cushions regularly to help them retain their volume and shape.
• Even Weight Distribution: Encourage users to sit across the entire sofa rather than consistently on one spot to distribute wear evenly.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and beauty of your EKTORP sofa. The Totebo dark turquoise cover is designed for easy maintenance.

Cover Removal and Re-attachment

1. Removal: Unzip the cushion covers and carefully slide them off. For the main frame cover, locate the zippers and fastenings, then gently pull the cover off the frame.
2. Re-attachment: After washing and drying, carefully slide the covers back onto the cushions and frame. Ensure the cover is aligned correctly and zip up all fastenings. Smooth out any wrinkles.

Washing Instructions for Totebo Dark Turquoise Cover

• Machine Wash: The cover can be machine washed. Use a gentle cycle with cold water (max 30°C / 86°F).
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry or lay flat. Iron on low temperature if needed.
• Professional Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your EKTORP sofa:

• Wrinkled Cover After Washing: If the cover appears wrinkled after washing, you can gently iron it on a low setting or use a fabric steamer to smooth out the creases before re-attaching.
• Cushions Losing Shape: Over time, cushions may compress. Regularly fluff and rotate both back and seat cushions to help them regain their original shape and maintain comfort.
• Squeaking Noises: If you hear squeaking, check all assembly connections to ensure they are tightened securely. Loose bolts can sometimes cause noise.
• Fading Fabric: To prevent premature fading, avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight for extended periods.
