It is important so not to void your warranty that regular cleaning of the leather is undertaken.

5. Use of the mechanism
It is important that you learn how to correctly open and close your recliner. When opening your recliner by using a ‘trigger’ (opposed to a lever or handle), once the catch has been released, you should release the trigger, do not continue to pull back on it, this will put unnecessary pressure on the trigger itself and may cause it to break. When closing the mechanism, do not use the trigger, the trigger does not assist in anyway the closing of the recliner. Do not try to close the recliner from the ‘sitting back’ position, you need to bring ‘your seat’ forward and sit upright, lift your feet so you are closing the footrest with your heels and not your ankles. In one movement, transfer your weight forward while tucking your legs in below, this should result in easy closure of the footrest. Do not grab and pull at the arm rests while closing your recliner, this puts unnecessary pressure on stitched areas of the armrest. Do not climb out of your recliner while the footrest is extended, this act over time may cause the mechanism to move out of alignment and cause future problems with closing. If you are having difficulty closing your footrest, please consult the sales assistant back at the store, you may be trying to close it incorrectly. Our mechanisms have a weight recommendation of 120kg maximum.
