5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Converting to Sofa Bed
The Merax loveseat easily converts into a comfortable sleeping bed.
- Ensure there is sufficient clear space in front of the sofa for extension.
- Locate the two auxiliary hand straps at the front base of the sofa.
- Gently pull the straps outwards and upwards. The pull-out bed mechanism will slide forward on smooth wheels.
- Continue pulling until the bed is fully extended and locked into place.
- To convert back to a sofa, reverse the process, pushing the bed mechanism back into the sofa until it clicks securely.

5.2 Adjusting Backrest
The backrest offers three adjustable angles for optimal comfort.
- To adjust the backrest, gently push it forward until you hear a click, then recline it to your desired angle.
- The available angles are approximately 105° (upright), 138° (relaxed), and 180° (flat for sleeping).
- Ensure the backrest is securely locked into your chosen position before leaning on it.

5.3 Using USB Ports
Convenient USB ports are integrated into the armrest for charging electronic devices.
- Locate the USB ports on the side of the armrest.
- Connect your device's charging cable to the USB port.
- Ensure the sofa is connected to a power source (if applicable, check product specifications for power requirements).
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Corduroy Fabric
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the corduroy fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for corduroy, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Removable Pillow Covers: The pillow covers are removable. Refer to the care label on the covers for specific washing instructions. Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry.
6.2 General Care
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading of the fabric.
- Keep the sofa away from heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
- Periodically check and tighten all assembly hardware to ensure stability.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose assembly hardware or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all screws. Ensure the sofa is on a level surface. |
| Pull-out bed mechanism is stiff or stuck. | Obstruction, misaligned wheels, or mechanism needs lubrication. | Check for any objects blocking the mechanism. Ensure wheels are clean and aligned. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary. |
| Backrest does not adjust smoothly. | Mechanism obstruction or dirt. | Ensure no fabric or objects are caught in the mechanism. Clean any visible debris. |
| USB ports are not charging devices. | Sofa not powered, faulty cable, or device issue. | Ensure the sofa's power connection (if any) is secure. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out external issues. |
