4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly of your HOMYEDAMIC recliner is designed to be straightforward and typically takes about 15 minutes without the need for additional tools.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from both boxes and place them on a clean, soft surface to prevent damage.
- Attach Backrest: Align the metal brackets on the backrest with the corresponding slots on the recliner base. Slide the backrest down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure both sides are securely engaged.
- Connect Wires (if applicable): If there are any pre-attached wires for the lumbar pillow (e.g., for massage/heat functions, though this model is manual), connect them according to the labels. Note: This manual model does not include massage or heat functions.
- Position Lumbar Pillow: Place the lumbar support pillow on the chair back for added comfort.
- Final Check: Gently rock the chair and test the reclining mechanism to ensure all parts are securely assembled and functioning correctly.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. How to Recline
- Engage Footrest: Locate the pull ring or handle on the side of the recliner cushion (typically on the right side). Pull this handle to release and extend the footrest. The footrest will pop up automatically.
- Recline Backrest: Once the footrest is extended, place your elbows on the armrests and lean back. The chair's backrest will recline freely as you apply pressure, adjusting to an optimal angle based on your weight, up to a maximum of 150°.
- Note: The recline angle is not lockable. The backrest will return to a 90° upright position when you exit the recliner.
5.2. How to Retract the Footrest
To retract the footrest, follow these steps:
- Lean Forward: Sit forward with your body leaning slightly forward.
- Apply Pressure: Use your heels or legs to press down on the center of the footrest. Apply firm, consistent pressure until the footrest fully retracts and locks into its closed position.
- Important: This action requires some leg force. Ensure the footrest is fully closed before attempting to stand up from the chair.

6. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the fabric with a clean, damp cloth. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the fabric.
- Mechanism Care: The all-metal body and reclining mechanism are designed for durability. No special lubrication is typically required. If the mechanism becomes stiff, ensure no obstructions are present.
- Fabric Care: The chenille fabric is soft and skin-friendly. Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment can help maintain its appearance and remove dust.
- Pillow Care: The lumbar cushion can be fluffed periodically to maintain its shape and support.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not recline smoothly. | Obstruction in mechanism; parts not fully engaged. | Check for any objects obstructing the mechanism. Ensure the backrest is fully seated during assembly. |
| Footrest is difficult to retract. | Insufficient leg force applied; mechanism stiffness. | Apply more consistent pressure with your heels to the center of the footrest. Ensure no objects are blocking the footrest's path. |
| Chair feels unstable. | Loose connections; uneven floor. | Verify all assembly connections are secure. Place the chair on a level surface. |
