IKEA JÄTTEBO 294.852.52 Armrest Instructions Manual

The IKEA JÄTTEBO 294.852.52 Armrest is a modular component designed for the JÄTTEBO sofa series. It features a sturdy wooden frame, high-resilience foam, and removable, washable covers. This manual provides essential information for assembly, attachment, adjustment, care, and safety to ensure proper integration with your JÄTTEBO sofa configuration. Below are key sections for overview, parts included, assembly, attachment, adjustment, care, safety, and troubleshooting.

Overview & Parts Included

The JÄTTEBO armrest is a left or right-side component that connects to the main sofa section using the JÄTTEBO coupling system. It provides arm support and completes the sofa's modular design.

Tools Required

No power tools are needed. The following are included or recommended:

• Included Allen key (4mm).
• Clean, soft surface for assembly (e.g., carpet or blanket to prevent scratches).
• Second person recommended for easier handling.

Assembly Instructions

The armrest frame comes pre-assembled. Follow these steps to attach the cover:

1. Unpack and lay all parts on a clean, soft surface.
2. Identify the armrest frame (wooden structure with foam).
3. Turn the fabric cover inside out and align the opening with the top of the armrest frame.
4. Carefully pull the cover over the frame, ensuring it fits snugly around all edges and corners.
5. Adjust the cover so seams are straight and the fabric is smooth without wrinkles.
6. If your cover has a zipper, zip it closed once the cover is fully positioned.

NOTE: Take care not to tear the fabric when stretching it over the frame.

Attaching to Sofa

Connect the armrest to your JÄTTEBO sofa section:

1. Position the armrest next to the sofa section (left or right side as needed). Ensure both pieces are on a level floor.
2. Align the metal connector brackets on the armrest with the corresponding slots on the sofa section.
3. Lift the armrest slightly and slide the brackets into the slots. You should hear a click when they engage.
4. Insert the two locking pins through the aligned holes on the brackets from the top. They should drop into place and sit flush.
5. Optional: Use the included Allen key to tighten any pre-installed screws on the brackets for extra stability (do not overtighten).
6. Gently push and pull the armrest to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.

WARNING! Ensure the armrest and sofa section are correctly aligned before forcing connection to avoid damage.

Adjustment & Positioning

The JÄTTEBO armrest is designed for a specific side (left or right). It cannot be switched. Ensure you have the correct orientation:

• The flat side of the armrest faces inward toward the seating area.
• The finished, rounded side faces outward.
• The armrest height is fixed and matches the sofa back height when fully assembled.
• For corner sections, armrests attach only to the open ends.

If your configuration changes, you can detach the armrest by reversing the attachment steps.

Care & Maintenance

To maintain appearance and longevity:

1. Fabric Covers: Remove according to label instructions. Most are machine washable at 40°C (104°F) on gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or air dry. Iron at low temperature if needed.
2. Frame & Foam: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not soak or use harsh chemicals.
3. Metal Parts: Dust with a dry cloth. No lubrication required.

CAUTION! Never wash the frame or foam. Allow covers to dry completely before reattaching.

Safety Information

• This armrest is designed for use only with the IKEA JÄTTEBO sofa system.
• Do not stand, sit, or place excessive weight on the armrest.
• Ensure all connections are secure before use.
• Keep away from direct heat sources and open flames.
• Check periodically for loose connectors or pins and tighten if necessary.
• Use only IKEA-approved replacement parts.

WARNING! Improper assembly or use with non-JÄTTEBO furniture may cause instability and risk of injury.
