This manual provides instructions for the KIVIK 1-Seat Sofa Bed. The primary function of this document is to guide the user through the conversion process from a sofa to a bed and the proper maintenance of the fabric covers.
Care and maintenance
Before using the sofa, check the care label on the fabric covers. The manual indicates specific ironing instructions: use an iron only if the symbol is present on the label. Do not iron if the symbol is crossed out. Ensure the covers are correctly aligned and zipped during assembly to prevent damage.
Converting the sofa to a bed
The conversion process involves a pull-out mechanism:
- Extend the frame: Pull the base frame out from under the sofa seat.
- Unfold: Unfold the mattress section onto the extended frame.
- Adjust cushions: Reposition the seat and back cushions to create a flat sleeping surface.
Assembly and adjustments
The manual details the process of fitting and adjusting the covers:
- Cover fitting: Ensure the cover is pulled taut over the frame and cushions.
- Zipping: Use the zippers to secure the covers in place. Ensure the zipper pull is fully closed to prevent the fabric from bunching.
- Final check: Verify that all cushions are securely in place and the frame is stable before use.
