You will want to place your chair in the room where it will be most convenient for you, such as near your television, radio, reading light, end table, or other furniture. Leave enough space between the back of the chair and a wall or any other obstruction. This allows the chair to recline (about 18 inches for standard models, 25 inches for StellarComfort models). Recline space needed may vary based on the specific chair model (see your chair’s manual).
Do not allow any objects to restrict movement of the footrest. Some carpets have a high plush pile that can rub on the bottom of the footrest. This situation can damage the mechanism. You can correct this situation by turning the levelers (located under the front of the chair) to raise the footrest enough to clear the carpet.
