6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your recliner:
- Fabric Care: For general cleaning, vacuum the fabric regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position the recliner away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.
- Mechanism Care: The reclining mechanism is designed for long-term use. Avoid forcing the mechanism. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoiding fabric).
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your recliner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not recline smoothly. | Mechanism obstruction or loose connections. | Check for any objects obstructing the mechanism. Ensure all assembly bolts are tight. Apply silicone lubricant to moving parts if needed. |
| Footrest does not stay extended. | Mechanism not fully engaged or worn spring. | Ensure you are leaning back sufficiently to engage the full recline. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Chair feels wobbly. | Loose legs or assembly connections. | Check and re-tighten all leg and backrest assembly bolts. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface. |
| Fabric appears stained or dirty. | Accumulated dirt or spills. | Refer to the "Maintenance and Care" section for cleaning instructions. |
