2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking
Your Kono suitcase set is designed for space-saving storage. Smaller suitcases are nested inside larger ones. Please open the largest suitcase (e.g., 28-inch) to find the other pieces. Carefully remove all packaging materials.
2.2 Setting the TSA Combination Lock
The suitcase is equipped with a built-in TSA-approved combination lock. The initial combination is typically set to 0-0-0.
- Locate the small reset button (usually a tiny hole) on the side of the lock.
- Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold the reset button.
- While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials.
- Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set.
- Test the new combination to ensure it locks and unlocks correctly.

2.3 Attaching Cosmetic Case (if applicable)
If your set includes a 13-inch cosmetic travel case, it features a fixed belt structure on the back. This allows you to securely link it to the telescoping handle of a larger trolley case, freeing up your hands.

3.1 Using the Telescoping Handle
The ergonomic, adjustable aluminum 3-step telescoping handle allows for comfortable handling. Press the button on the handle grip to extend or retract it to your desired height. Ensure it clicks into place for secure use.

3.2 Maneuvering with Spinner Wheels

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Hard Shell
To clean the ABS hard shell, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
4.2 Wheel Care
Periodically check the spinner wheels for any debris (hair, lint, etc.) that might hinder their movement. Clean them gently with a damp cloth. If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle.
4.3 Zipper Maintenance
Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If a zipper becomes difficult to move, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth.
4.4 Preventing Wear
The suitcase is designed with side bumper feet to protect the shell from direct contact with the ground and prevent scratches. Always try to place the suitcase on its feet when stationary.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Lock Issues
- Lock won't open: Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If you forgot the combination, you may need to try all 1000 combinations (000-999) or contact Kono support for assistance.
- Lock won't set: Make sure the reset button is fully pressed in when setting the new combination and released only after the new code is set.
5.2 Wheel Issues
- Wheels sticking/not rolling smoothly: Check for debris (hair, lint) wrapped around the wheel axles. Clean as described in the Maintenance section.
- Wheel damage: If a wheel is physically damaged, it may require professional repair or replacement.
5.3 Handle Issues
- Handle stuck/not extending: Ensure the release button is fully depressed. Check for any obstructions in the telescoping mechanism. Do not force the handle.
5.4 Zipper Issues
- Zipper snagging: Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric free. Apply zipper lubricant if needed.
