Operating Instructions

1. Convertible Pull-Out Bed

The MANUKO sofa features a convenient pull-out mechanism to transform it into an extra sleeping surface.

  1. Clear the area: Ensure there is enough space in front of the sofa for the bed to extend fully.
  2. Locate the pull handle: Find the fabric loop or handle usually located at the front underside of the main sofa section.
  3. Pull out the bed: Gently pull the handle outwards and upwards. The bed mechanism will slide out and unfold. Continue pulling until the bed is fully extended and locked into place.
  4. Retract the bed: To return to sofa mode, lift the front edge of the bed slightly, push it back into the sofa, and guide the mechanism until it is fully retracted and secured.

  2. Open the compartment: Lift the seat upwards. The lid will typically stay open on its own, supported by a hinge mechanism.
  3. Close the compartment: Gently push the seat down until it clicks securely into place.

Maintenance and Care

Fabric Care (100% Polyester)

To preserve the appearance and quality of your sofa's fabric, follow these guidelines:

  • Regular Cleaning: Dust the fabric regularly with a soft, dry cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove loose dirt and debris.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, act immediately. Gently clean spots with a soft cloth and an appropriate fabric cleaner or mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the fabric. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can discolor or damage the polyester fabric.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Position your sofa away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds to protect it.
  • Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider consulting a professional upholstery cleaner.

General Maintenance

  • Frame and Legs: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary.
