5. Operating Instructions

Your VINGLI Criss Cross Chair offers several adjustable features for personalized comfort:

• Height Adjustment: To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the seat. To raise the seat, stand up and pull the lever up. Release the lever at your desired height. The adjustable height range from seat cushion to floor is 16.9-19.9 inches.
• Backrest Recline/Tilt: The chair features a recline function. Pull the lever on the left side beneath the seat to unlock the tilt mechanism, allowing the backrest to recline between 90 and 105 degrees. Push the lever back in to lock the backrest in an upright position.
• Rocking Tension: Adjust the rocking tension by turning the round knob located under the front of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
• Swivel Function: The chair seat can rotate 360 degrees for easy movement and access.
• Dual-Purpose Base: Depending on your needs, you can use either the rolling casters for mobility or the stationary foot pads for a fixed position. To switch, carefully remove the installed components from the base and insert the alternative set.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: For general cleaning of the teddy fleece fabric, use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and loose debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten any loose fasteners to maintain the chair's stability and safety.
• Caster/Foot Pad Care: If using casters, regularly clean any hair or debris that may accumulate around the wheels to ensure smooth rolling. If using foot pads, ensure they are clean to prevent scratching floors.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals on any part of the chair, as they may damage the finish or fabric.

7. Troubleshooting

• Chair Squeaks: Check all bolts and screws and tighten them. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if squeaking persists.
• Chair Feels Unstable: Ensure all assembly steps were followed correctly and all fasteners are securely tightened. Verify the chair is on a level surface.
• Gas Lift Not Adjusting: Check if the height adjustment lever is fully engaged or disengaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Remove any debris (hair, lint) from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters may need to be replaced.
