There’s nothing more relaxing than a recliner. To get the most from your recliner, follow these simple instructions, to ensure you are using and caring for it properly.
Sit back in the recliner with a gap between the footrest and your feet. Pull the recliner handle or press the power button and the footrest will rise. Push back on the arm tops to recline further.
Close the recliner with your legs positioned centrally. Be sure the recliner action is completely closed before getting out directly forward.
Don’t close the recliner if your legs are placed off to the side of the footrest. And don’t get up from the recliner whilst the footrest is extended as this will damage the mechanism.
The motion of your new manual recliner may feel a little stiff at first. Please allow time for it to ease into use. Seat cushions will soften with use, too.
You may have moved your recliner and dislodged the power pack or cable, or the power cables may have become entangled in the mechanism. Make sure that cables are routed under the recliner mechanism and to the rear of the recliner.
On all recliners, it’s normal to see a small gap between the cushions. This is to allow the seat pad to expand during use so that it does not inhibit the recliner action. This may be exaggerated, depending on the type of flooring you have.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when assembling or disassembling your recliner. Recliners have fixed cushions which require smoothing and straightening regularly. Simply punch the top two corners and pinch them outwards.
