2. Operating Instructions

Your Serta Chloe Modern Office Chair is designed with adjustable features to enhance your comfort and support.

2.1 Height Adjustment

To adjust the chair's height, locate the lever on the side of the seat. Lift the lever up while seated to lower the chair, or lift the lever up while standing to allow the chair to rise. Release the lever at your desired height.

2.2 Recline Adjustment and Tilt Lock

The chair features a tilt lock mechanism and adjustable recline tension. Pull the same side lever out to unlock the recline function, allowing the chair to tilt. Push the lever in to lock the chair in an upright position.

To adjust the recline tension, turn the round knob located underneath the seat, at the front of the mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

2.3 360° Swivel and Casters

The chair is equipped with smooth-gliding ball casters and a 360° swivel function, allowing for easy movement and rotation. The versatile casters are designed to glide across most carpeted surfaces.

3. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Serta Chloe Modern Office Chair.

3.1 Cleaning Instructions

• For general cleaning, wipe the chair with a clean, damp cloth.
• For velvet upholstery, use a soft brush or vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the velvet fabric or chrome finish.

3.2 Regular Checks

• Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Check casters for any accumulated debris (hair, lint) and clean as needed to ensure smooth rolling.

4. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your office chair.

4.1 Chair Does Not Adjust Height

• Check the lever: Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged when attempting to raise or lower the chair.
• Gas lift: If the gas lift cylinder is not responding, it may be faulty. Contact customer support for assistance.

4.2 Chair Squeaks or Wobbles

• Tighten fasteners: Most squeaks and wobbles are caused by loose screws or bolts. Carefully inspect and tighten all fasteners on the seat mechanism, arms, and base.
• Lubrication: A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts if tightening does not resolve squeaking. Avoid oil-based lubricants on plastic components.

4.3 Casters Not Rolling Smoothly

• Clean casters: Remove any hair, lint, or debris that may be wrapped around the caster wheels.
• Surface compatibility: While designed for most carpeted surfaces, extremely thick carpets may impede smooth rolling.
