4. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Fjords Axel Power Recliner Chair.
4.1. Leather Care
The chair is upholstered in Soft Line Leather. To maintain its quality:
- Regular Cleaning: Dust the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Spills: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for aniline or semi-aniline leather, following the product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or household detergents, as these can damage the leather finish.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying and cracking.
- Sunlight/Heat: Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and drying of the leather.
4.2. General Care
- Moving the Chair: When moving the chair, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the base or floor.
- Electrical Components: Ensure the power cord is not damaged. If any electrical issues arise, disconnect the power immediately and contact customer support.
