Cleaning
• Forroutinecleaning,theeasiestwaytocleantheBloeldistodeatetheBchamberofthesofaand
thecushion(whilechamberAremainsinated).TheBloeldwillhaveasmoothsurface,whichmakesis
easiertoclean.
• Thechaircanbecleanedbyusingwaterandsoap,orordertheBloeldSofacleaneratthecustomer
service:service@bloeld.com.ThiscleaningliquidisspeciallydesignedforBloeld®.Donotuse
aggressiveorchemicaldetergents.
• BloeldSofaCleaner(750ml)instructions;
Foreverydirtysurfacesoringraineddirt,spraythedetergentontothesurfacetobetreated;leavefora
fewminutesandthenwipewiththesponge.Rinsewithwateranddrywiththecloth.
• UsingtheBloeldSofaCleaner,itiseasytoremovethemostcommondirt.Whentheseatingareahas
bluespotscausedbyjeans,trytoremovethespotsassoonaspossible,preferablywithin1day.This
blueinkcannotberemovedafterawhilewithoutleavinigunremovablemarksontheproduct.
• Preferably,donotplacetheBloeld®undertreesthatdropresin,seedsorfruits:thiscancause
lthinesswhichisdifcult,orimpossibletoremove.

Packing
• DonotpacktheBloeld®whenwet;letthesofadryrst.
• Whenpackingthesofa,makesurethatallthevalvesarecapped.

Storing
• Ifthesofaisnotusedforalongperiodoftime,deatethesofaandstoreit.Makesuretheproductis
completelydrybeforefoldingandstoringit.
• StoretheBloeld®atroomtemperature(over10°C),inacleananddryenvironment.IftheBloeld
isstoredintemperaturesunder10°C,orover40°C,thiscanaffectitsfunctioning,whichwillnotbe
coveredbythewarranty.

5-Problemsolving
If the Bloeld® does not inate
• AlwayscheckifthehoseisconnectedtothepumpatAIRIN;inating,andnottoAIROUT.TheAIR
OUTconnectionistobeusedtosucktheBloeld®vacuum.
• Whenairleaksfromthenozzlewheninating,checkifthenozzleisattachedproperly,seepage4,step
2.Ifthisisthecase,thencheckifthenozzlecontainsarubberring;seepage4,topofthepage.Ifthis
isdamagedormissing,contactourCustomerService.
If the Bloeld® is deating
• Ifthesofaislosingairdirectlyafteryouinateditfortherst
time,checkifthevalvesareclosed,seenextbullet.
• Checkthepositionofthesmalltwist-knobonthevalve.
Thesmalltwist-knobofthevalvemustatalltimesbeinan
outwardpositionwhenthevalveisclosed.Whenthetwist-
knobisturnedinward,thevalveisopenandthechairwill
deateimmediately.Closethevalvebypushingthetwist-
knobandtwistingitaquarter-turn.Thetwist-knobwillnow
comeout,intherightposition.Seepage4,step1formoredetails.
Ifthevalveisclosed,andairisstillleakingfromit,contacttheBloeldCustomerService.
• Ifthesofasuddenlydeatesafternormaluse,checkiftheBloeld®hasaleakandcontacttheBloeld
CustomerService.Smallleakscanbefoundbysprayingthesofawithwater,usingaspray-bottle.
Forrepairingaleak,Bloeld®canprovidearepairkitwitharepair-manual.
• IfyouusetheBloeld®forlongperiodsoftime,thereisapossibilitythatthesofawillstartlosing
pressureafterawhile.Thisisnormal.Theairpressureinthesofauctuatesbecauseoftemperature
changes.YoucanusethepumptorestoreairpressureintheBloeld®.
If the pump is not working
• Checkifthereisvoltageonthesocketbyplugginginadifferentelectricalappliance.Ifthepumpis
pluggedin,andtheswitchisturnedon,thepumpshouldbeworking.Ifthisisnotthecase,contactthe
BloeldCustomerService.
If the Bloeld® is creased
• BecausetheBloeld®isaninatableproduct,itwillonlyreachtheoptimalformsometimeafter
havingbeeninated.Afterunpackingandinating,thesofamightbeabitcreased,becausethe
Bloeld®hasbeenfoldedascompactaspossibleafterproduction.Ifyoupartiallydeateandthenfully
inatethesofaforafewtimesoverthecourseofthenexthours,thecreaseswilldisappear.
