Using your Germain power motion chair is a breeze. Just use the smooth controls on the side to recline the back and raise the footrest for a relaxing position. You can also charge your phone or tablet via the USB port. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the chair regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the material. Be aware that there's a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so keep the chair in a well - ventilated area. Also, don't put excessive weight on the chair to ensure its long - lasting performance.
