SAFETY
Have you selected a chair with a riser function? The chair is equipped with a brake that holds the chair in a xed position when
you want to use the riser function. If you want to get out of the chair or if you want to sit down in the chair while the chair is in
riser mode, you can only do so when the chair is fully up. At that point, the chair is fully braked and it can no longer rotate. If
the chair is not up, it is still possible for the chair to rotate, so you cannot sit down. We are not liable for damage or injury
resulting from incorrect use of the riser function.

4. Upholstery
4.1 Leather
 a. Ifyouhavechosenaleathermodel,hereareafewtipstohelpyouenjoyyourreclinerforaslongaspossible.Leatherisa
  naturalproduct,andminorirregularitiessuchasmarksfrominsectbites,foldingandsmallvariationsincolourareseenassigns
  ofquality.
 b. Leathercanfadeasaresultofextendedexposuretostronglight.
 c. Leathercanloseitscolourduetoexposuretoextremetemperatures,moisture,solventsoracids(includingacidsintheskin
  andinmedicinesweuse).
 d. Youcanmaintainyourleatherchairintopconditionbydustingito󰀨regularlyandcleaningitweeklywithplainwaterandacloth
  withnosoapresidues.Thechairshouldbecleanedjustonceayearwithaspecialcleaner,followedbytheapplicationofa
  conditioner.Yourretailercanprovidefurtheradviceaboutthis.
 e. Theguaranteewillbeirrevocablyinvalidatedifanincorrectcleaningagentisused.Whenthechairisuseditwillshowsignsof
  thesittingposition.Leatherstretchesunderload,partlyduetotheelasticityofthefoambelow.Theresulting“puddlinge󰀨ect”
  (illus.5)isaperfectlynormalphenomenon.Youcanreducepuddlingbysmoothingtheseatwithyourhandseachday.
  (illus.6ad7).Signsofusewillalsobevisibleonthechairback.Leatherisafantasticmaterialwhichgrowsinbeautyasitis
  used!
4.2 Fabric
 a. Thechairshouldbevacuumedweeklyusingtheupholsterybrushattachment.Smallparticlesofgrithaveanabrasivee󰀨ect,
  acceleratingwear.
 b. Almostanyfabricwillfadetosomeextentundertheinuenceofsunlight.Cottonfabricsaremoresensitivetothisthanwool.
  Lightercoloursgenerallyfadelessthandarkershades.Ifpossibleitisbesttoavoidexposingfurnituretodirectsunlight.
 c. Di󰀨erentfabricswillbehavedi󰀨erentlyonthesamemodelofchair,mostlyduetovariationsinelasticity.Themoreelasticthe
  fabricthemorevisiblethefoldingwillbe,particularlyaroundtheseams.
4.3 Foam
Yourchairwilladjusttoyourbodyshape.Onahardsurface,yourbodymustadjusttothechair.Butcomfortchairsarethe
  opposite.Foamadjuststocircumstancesslowly,dependingonaspectssuchasdurationofdailyuse,temperatureandbody
  weight.Theadjustmentperioddependsonusageandcantakeuptosixmonths.Afterthisusageperiod,optimalcomfortlevels
  areachieved.
Polyurethane Foam
  Polyurethanefoamistheprimarymaterialthatdeterminescomfort.Thisproductisoftencalled“coldfoam”.Itisnon-toxic,
  producedwithoutCFKs,andisrecyclable.Acharacteristicofcoldfoamisthatitisfairlyrigidatrst,butbecomesmoreexible
  withuse.Sti󰀨nessreducesbyabout15%,afterwhichthematerialstabilizes.

4.4 General Information
 a. Everypieceoffurnitureweproduceismadewiththegreatestcare.Chairmakingisalabour-intensiveprocess,everychairis
  madebyhandandsonotwochairsarecompletelyidentical.Minorvariationsinappearanceareinevitableandunderlinethe
  factthatthesearecraftsmanproducts.
 b. Mostreclinersarettedwithazipperintheback.Thiszipperisrequiredforupholsteringpurposes.Weuseso-calledinvisible
  zippers.However,insomecases,theblackzippermightbevisible.(Illus.8)Becauseoftensionstotheseatcover,thezipper
  mightbevisible.Thiscouldalsobetheresultofpressureonleatherwhensomebodysitsdownintherecliner.Thezipperis
  particularlyvisibleatthepointwhereseveralpiecesofleathermeet.Unfortunately,thisisunavoidable.
 c. Becauseareclinerconsistsofmanymovingparts,itisalmostimpossibletoadjustthesystemsoundlessly.Thesenoisesand
  “creaks”mightbeaudiblewhenthepositionofthereclinerischanged,aswellaswhenitisinneutralposition.Iftherecliner
  hasnotbeenplacedonaatsurface,thismayalsocausecreaking.
 d. Distributeyourweightevenlyalongseatandbackrest.Youmighttendtoleanmoretotherightorleftinyourrecliner.Pleasebe
  awarethatyourreclinerwillshiftalongwithyou.Youmightcausethecoverofyourreclinertoshifttotherightorleft 
  (i.e.crooked)alongthebackofthechair.Areclinershapestoitsuser.
 e. Donotusearmrestsasaladder,stool,orseat.
 f. Donotstandontheseat.Thiswillcauseoverburdeningofthesprings.
 g. Donotkneelontheseattolookovertheback.
