Operating and Display
Once assembled, your Keeppley Sanrio character models are ready for display or gentle interaction.

- Interactive Elements: Some models may feature movable parts, such as rotating elements (e.g., DJ turntables, Ferris wheels) or opening doors. Handle these gently to avoid damage.
- Creative Play: While primarily designed for display, these models can be used for imaginative play. Avoid rough handling or dropping to maintain their integrity.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your building block models.
- Cleaning: To remove dust, use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. For more stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all bricks in a sealed container away from dust and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Missing Pieces: Carefully check all packaging materials and the building area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact the seller with details of the missing part (e.g., part number from the manual, color, and quantity).
- Difficulty Connecting Bricks: Ensure bricks are aligned correctly. Apply firm, even pressure. If a brick is too tight, try wiggling it gently. Do not force bricks together, as this can cause damage.
- Model Instability: Re-check previous steps to ensure all connections are firm and all bricks are placed in the correct orientation. Sometimes a small misalignment can affect overall stability.
- Instructions Unclear: Review the diagrams carefully. If a step remains unclear, try looking at the subsequent steps to understand the overall structure. Online communities or videos might also offer visual guidance.
