Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Fjords Alfa 510 recliner and ottoman.

Leather Care

• Regular Cleaning: Dust the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and then dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
• Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
• Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every 6-12 months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying and cracking.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause leather to fade and dry out. Position your chair away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.
• Avoid Heat Sources: Keep the chair away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can dry out the leather.

Wood Base Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the wood base with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the wood, as these can damage the finish.
• Protection: Use furniture polish specifically designed for wood to maintain its luster.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your recliner.

• Recliner feels stiff: Ensure no objects are obstructing the reclining mechanism. Regular use should help maintain smooth operation. If stiffness persists, ensure the chair is on a level surface.
• Swivel mechanism is not smooth: Check for any debris or obstructions around the base. Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, even floor.
• Unusual noises: If you hear squeaking or grinding, ensure all components are free of obstructions. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically instructed by Fjords customer support.
