5. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your La-Z-Boy Nova Executive Office Chair.

Cleaning Instructions:

  • Spot Clean: For spills or stains on the PU faux leather, immediately blot with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution on a damp cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the material.
  • Regularly dust the chair with a soft, dry cloth.

General Maintenance:

  • Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
  • Inspect casters for any debris (hair, lint) that might hinder smooth rolling. Clean as needed.
  • Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause the material to fade or crack.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your La-Z-Boy Nova Executive Office Chair, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

  • Chair Squeaks: Check and tighten all assembly bolts. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts, but avoid contact with upholstery.
  • Difficulty Adjusting Height: Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the gas lift is not responding, it may need replacement. Contact customer support.
  • Chair Does Not Recline: Verify the recline lock lever is disengaged. Adjust the tension knob to ensure it's not set too stiffly.
  • Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect casters for trapped debris (hair, carpet fibers). Clean them thoroughly. If damaged, casters may need replacement.
  • Chair Feels Unstable: Recheck all assembly connections to ensure they are tight and the chair is on a level surface.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact La-Z-Boy customer support.
