Installation Instructions

Install the cover on a clean, dry STOCKSUND armchair frame.

Identify cover sections: Match each piece to corresponding part of armchair (seat, back, arms).
Start with seat section: Drape seat cover over seat, aligning edges. Secure fasteners underneath.
Attach backrest cover: Slide over backrest, ensuring it sits flush. Fasten at bottom if provided.
Install armrest covers: Slip each arm cover over armrests, tucking excess fabric neatly.
Secure all fasteners: Zip or press hook-and-loop strips firmly to ensure snug fit.
Smooth out wrinkles: Adjust fabric for a tidy appearance, ensuring no loose areas.

Tip: Work from the center outward to avoid misalignment.

Care & Cleaning

Regular care maintains appearance and longevity.

Regular Maintenance: Vacuum with upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with clean, damp cloth. Use mild detergent if needed.
Machine Washing: Remove cover (see Section 7). Wash separately in cold water, gentle cycle. Use mild detergent.
Drying: Air dry flat away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry unless label permits low heat.
Ironing: If needed, iron on low heat inside out. Avoid direct contact with fasteners.
