3.3 Using the Pillow Storage

4. Care and Maintenance

4.1 Fabric Care (100% Polyester)

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester, following the product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Removable Seat Cushions: The seat cushions are removable. Refer to the care label on the cushion covers for specific washing instructions. Typically, polyester covers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and air-dried.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position the sofa away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.

4.2 Mattress Care (Memory Foam)

• Protective Cover: It is recommended to use a mattress protector to shield the memory foam from spills and stains.
• Ventilation: Allow the mattress to air out periodically by removing bedding. This helps to dissipate moisture and maintain freshness.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills on the memory foam, blot with a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution. Do not saturate the foam. Allow to air dry completely before replacing bedding.
• Do Not Machine Wash: Memory foam mattresses or their core should not be machine washed or dry cleaned.

4.3 Frame and Mechanism Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden and metal parts of the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the convertible mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts, avoiding contact with fabric.
• Tighten Fasteners: Over time, fasteners may loosen. Periodically check and tighten all bolts and screws to ensure stability and safety.

5. Troubleshooting

• Mechanism is Stiff: Ensure no obstructions are preventing movement. Check if all parts are aligned correctly. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving joints if necessary.
• Sofa Feels Unstable: Verify that all assembly bolts and screws are securely tightened. Ensure the sofa is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Cushions Appear Flat: Rotate and fluff cushions regularly to maintain their shape and density.
• Unusual Noises During Conversion: Inspect the mechanism for any loose parts or foreign objects. Ensure all components are properly aligned and lubricated.
