5. Operating Instructions
The SKANDY sofa features an easy-to-use conversion mechanism to transform it into a comfortable bed.
5.1 Converting to Bed
- Remove any throw pillows or items from the sofa seat.
- Locate the conversion strap, typically found at the front or under the seat cushions.
- Gently pull the strap upwards and outwards to engage the mattress mechanism. The seat will slide forward, and the backrest will fold down, revealing the integrated mattress.
- Ensure the mattress is fully extended and stable before use.

5.2 Converting to Sofa
- Ensure no items are on the mattress.
- Lift the mattress frame from the center and push it back towards the sofa's backrest.
- Continue pushing until the mechanism fully retracts and the backrest locks into the upright sofa position. You may hear a click indicating it's locked.
- Replace any cushions or pillows.
6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Miliboo SKANDY sofa.
6.1 Fabric Care
The sofa is upholstered with an easy-care fabric featuring anti-stain nanoparticles.
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the sofa regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the fabric. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position your sofa away from direct sun or use curtains/blinds.
6.2 General Maintenance
- Legs: Periodically check the tightness of the sofa legs and re-tighten if they feel loose.
- Mechanism: Keep the conversion mechanism free of obstructions. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoiding fabric).
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa is wobbly or unstable. | Legs are loose or uneven. | Check and tighten all leg screws. Ensure the sofa is on a level surface. |
| Difficulty converting to bed/sofa. | Mechanism obstructed or misaligned. | Ensure no items are blocking the mechanism. Gently push/pull the mechanism to align it. Do not force. |
| Fabric has a stain. | Spill or dirt. | Refer to Section 6.1 Fabric Care for spot cleaning instructions. |
