Care and Maintenance
For recommended care, cleaning and
maintenance, please refer also to the care
and maintenance guidelines enclosed with
your chair and the care label fixed to your
chair.
It is recommended that the chair is serviced
every 5 years.
Take care to avoid fluids being spilt onto
your chair or the handset. This could
damage the upholstery or electronics and
motors in the chair.
If applicable, wheels should be checked
and cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup
of fluff and dirt particles.
LEATHER
Leather is a natural product with some
specific characteristics such as grain
pattern, creases and colour shades which
gives leather its individual quality. It is
important to avoid excessive sunlight on
your leather Fitform and a 65% level of
humidity is recommended. Creaking leather
can be avoided by rubbing talcum powder
on the touching surfaces. Care should be
taken with sharp objects, playing children
(buckles and zips), pets, sunlight and
course jeans to maintain the life span of
your Fitform.
Regular Maintenance:
Dust off with a soft
clean cloth.
Once a year:
Clean it with a sponge and
chamois (do not use these for any other
purpose). Moisten the chamois with
softened warm water (tap water will cause
lime deposits to form), feed the leather by
rubbing in circular motions with the damp
cloth on which you have applied a few
drops of castor oil – 5 drops of castor oil are
sufficient for the seat and the backrest of
one chair.
