2. Safety Information

Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and damage to the product.

• Always assemble the product on a flat, stable surface to ensure proper alignment and stability.
• Tighten screws gradually and not fully at once during assembly. This allows for adjustments and ensures all parts align correctly before final tightening.
• If the assembled item is not stable, loosen all screws, adjust the product on a flat ground, and then tighten all screws again evenly.
• Do not use an electric drill for tightening screws. Use the provided Allen wrench or a hand tool to prevent overtightening and damage to the fasteners or frame.
• If screws do not align with holes during assembly, loosen all other screws to approximately 50% tightness and continue the assembly process. This often resolves minor alignment issues.
• Keep small parts and packaging materials away from children and pets.

4. Assembly Instructions

The Flamaker Outdoor Convertible Sofa is designed for easy assembly. A detailed installation manual with diagrams is included in the package. Follow these general steps:

1. Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat, and soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify all frame parts and hardware according to the included parts list.
3. Attach the main frame sections using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Remember to tighten screws gradually, not fully, until all parts are connected.
4. Once the frame is fully assembled and stable, proceed to fully tighten all screws.

5. Operating Instructions

The Flamaker Outdoor Convertible Sofa features adjustable armrests, allowing for multiple configurations to suit your comfort needs.

5.1 Adjusting the Armrests

The armrests on both sides of the sofa can be independently adjusted. To change the position:

• Sitting Position: Keep both armrests in the upright position for a traditional sofa setup, ideal for comfortable seating.
• Recliner/Lounger Position (One Armrest Down): Pull one armrest outwards and lower it to a flat position. This creates an extended surface, allowing you to recline or stretch out on one side.
• Sunbed Position (Both Armrests Down): Lower both armrests to a flat position. This transforms the sofa into a flat sunbed or daybed, providing a larger area for relaxation.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your outdoor convertible sofa.

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the rattan and metal frame with a dry cloth regularly to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Cushion Care: The mattress and pillows are removable for easy cleaning. Spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching. Store cushions indoors during inclement weather or when not in use for extended periods to prolong their life.
• Weather Protection: While the rattan material is weatherproof and UV-resistant, covering the sofa when not in use or during harsh weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, strong sun) is recommended to maintain its condition.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Sofa feels wobbly: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. If the issue persists, loosen all screws slightly, adjust the sofa on a flat surface to ensure all legs are evenly touching the ground, then retighten all screws.
• Armrests are difficult to adjust: Check for any obstructions or debris in the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of dirt. Do not force the armrests; apply gentle, even pressure.
• Cushions sliding: The armrest cushions have ropes to secure them. Ensure these are properly tied. For seat cushions, ensure they are correctly positioned on the frame.
