4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CUTEBEE Book Nook, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the book nook using a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. The included dust cover helps minimize dust accumulation.
- Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a cloth with water (no harsh chemicals) and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Storage: Store the book nook in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause warping or fading of materials.
- Battery Replacement: If the lights dim or stop working, replace the AAA batteries.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Lights Not Working
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with the right polarity and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
