5. Operating Instructions

Your Dowinx Criss Cross Chair features several adjustable components for personalized comfort:

• Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the chair. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height.
• Backrest Rocking Adjustment: The chair features a rocking function. To enable rocking, pull the lever on the left side, beneath the seat, outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards. The tension of the rocking mechanism can often be adjusted by a knob located at the front of the mechanism plate. Turn clockwise to increase tension, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• 360° Swivel: The chair seat can freely rotate 360 degrees for easy movement and access.
• Casters: The flexible, silent casters allow for smooth movement across various floor surfaces.

6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning Fabric: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the chenille fabric to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for upholstery, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Frame and Base: Wipe the metal frame and base with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Casters: Periodically check casters for hair or debris accumulation and clean as needed to ensure smooth rolling.
• Hardware: Every few months, check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Chair is unstable/wobbly: Ensure all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Check that the gas lift is fully inserted into the base and mechanism plate. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.
• Chair does not adjust height: Verify the height adjustment lever is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the gas lift cylinder is properly installed and not damaged.
• Casters are not rolling smoothly: Check casters for trapped debris (hair, lint, etc.) and clean them. Ensure casters are fully inserted into the base.
• Squeaking noises: Tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if the noise persists, avoiding contact with fabric.
