Setting Up Your Fama Recliner: Everything You Need to Know

Congratulations on your new Fama recliner! Designed in Spain with comfort and quality in mind, your new chair is almost ready to enjoy. This guide will help you get your recliner set up quickly and ensure you get the very best from it.

If you've also watched our setup videos, you'll see just how simple the process is.

Before You Begin

Before unpacking your recliner, make sure you have:

  • Enough space to unpack safely
  • A clean, soft surface to protect the upholstery
  • Another person available to help if required

Take care when using scissors or knives to remove packaging to avoid accidentally damaging the fabric or leather.

Positioning Your Recliner

Place your recliner in its desired location before testing the reclining mechanism.

Leave enough clearance behind the chair so it can fully recline without touching walls or furniture.

If your recliner is positioned on a rug, ensure the rug sits flat beneath the chair so it can operate smoothly.

Getting to Know Your Recliner

Fama recliners are designed for everyday comfort and ease of use.

Once positioned:

  • Sit comfortably in the chair.
  • Operate the reclining mechanism as demonstrated in the video.
  • Return the chair to its upright position before standing.

Avoid forcing any moving parts, as the mechanism is designed to operate smoothly.

Looking After Your Recliner

Keeping your recliner looking its best is simple.

We recommend:

  • Vacuuming regularly using a soft brush attachment.
  • Cleaning spills as soon as possible.
  • Keeping the chair away from direct heat sources.
  • Avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight where possible.
  • Following the care instructions for your upholstery.
