5. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your BarcaLounger Salem Power Recliner.
- Cleaning: The product care instructions specify "Wipe Clean." For leather surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust and spills. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish.

- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause leather to fade or dry out. Position the recliner away from direct sunlight or use window coverings.
- Moving Parts: Periodically check all moving parts and connections to ensure they are secure. Do not lubricate the mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Power Cord: Regularly inspect the power cord for any damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
