Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions:

• Always assemble the product on a flat, stable surface to ensure proper balance and prevent tipping.
• Tighten screws gradually during assembly. Do not fully tighten any screw until all components are in place and aligned.
• If screws do not align with holes, loosen all other screws to 50% and re-attempt alignment.
• Ensure the item remains stable after assembly. If instability is observed, loosen all screws, adjust on a flat ground, and re-tighten.
• An Allen wrench is recommended for assembly; avoid using an electric drill to prevent overtightening or damage.
• The design includes slightly larger holes to allow for screw adjustment during assembly.

Assembly Instructions

This section provides detailed steps for assembling your Flamaker Outdoor Convertible Sofa. All necessary accessories and tools are included in the package.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the parts list are present and undamaged.
2. Initial Screw Fastening: Begin assembling the frame components. When attaching parts with screws, only tighten them to approximately 50% of their full tightness. This allows for flexibility and adjustment during subsequent steps.
3. Aligning Components: If you encounter difficulty aligning screw holes, loosen the surrounding screws to allow for minor adjustments. The holes are designed to be slightly larger to facilitate this process.
4. Ensure Stability: Once all frame components are loosely assembled, place the sofa on a flat, level surface. Gently rock the frame to identify any wobbles or instability.
5. Final Tightening: Gradually tighten all screws completely, ensuring the frame remains stable and level. Avoid overtightening, especially with an electric drill, to prevent stripping or damaging the wood.
6. Attach Cushions: Place the seat cushions and back pillows onto the assembled frame. The seat cushions may have ropes or ties to secure them to the frame.

Operating Instructions

Your convertible sofa offers multiple configurations for various uses. The armrests on both sides are adjustable.

• Standard Sofa Position: Keep both armrests in the upright position for a traditional sofa setup.
• Recliner/Lounger Position (One Side Down): To create a recliner or a longer lounging surface, pull one armrest outwards and lower it to a flat position. This allows you to stretch out on one side while maintaining a backrest on the other.
• Full Sunbed Position (Both Sides Down): For a complete sunbed experience, pull both armrests outwards and lower them to a flat position. This transforms the sofa into a flat surface suitable for lying down.

Maintenance

• Frame Care: Wipe the rattan and metal frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
• Cushion Care: The cushions and pillows are removable for easy cleaning. Spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching or storing. Store cushions in a dry place when not in use or during inclement weather to prolong their lifespan.
• Weather Protection: While the rattan material is all-weather resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions (heavy rain, direct intense sunlight) can affect its longevity. Consider using a furniture cover when the sofa is not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• Sofa Feels Unstable After Assembly:

  Solution: Loosen all screws on the frame. Place the sofa on a completely flat and level surface. Gently press down on different parts of the frame to ensure it settles evenly. Then, gradually re-tighten all screws, ensuring the sofa remains stable throughout the process.

• Cushions Slip When Lounging:

  Solution: Ensure the cushion ties are securely fastened to the frame. If slipping persists, consider adding non-slip mats or additional ties underneath the cushions for better grip.

• Armrests are Difficult to Adjust:

  Solution: Check for any obstructions or debris in the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the mechanism is clean. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts, being careful not to get it on the cushions.
