- Avoid: Do not use detergents or harsh cleaning products.
- Professional Care: It is recommended that leather be professionally cleaned and treated every 4–6 months to maintain softness and protection.
- Assistance: If unsure about cleaning methods, please contact your retailer.
B. Recliner Mechanism Operation
Incorrect use may result in damage and void the warranty.
- Opening: When using a trigger mechanism, release the trigger and continue to pull back gently until the recliner is fully open.
