6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean your assembled model, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the building blocks and assembled models in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Disassembly: If disassembling, keep all pieces organized to prevent loss and facilitate future reassembly.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Parts: In the rare event of missing parts, a free replacement service is provided. Please contact customer support with details of the missing part(s) and your order information.
• Difficulty Assembling: If you encounter difficulties during assembly, re-examine the instruction manual carefully. Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step and that they are oriented correctly.
• Loose Connections: If parts feel loose, ensure they are fully pressed together. Building blocks require firm connections for stability.

8. User Tips

• Organize Your Workspace: Before starting, clear a large, flat surface and organize your blocks. This can significantly speed up the building process and prevent lost pieces.
• Take Breaks: If you feel frustrated, take a short break. Sometimes stepping away and coming back with fresh eyes helps resolve assembly challenges.
• Display Safely: Once assembled, display your Den Den Mushi model on a stable surface where it won't be easily knocked over, especially if it has movable parts.

9. Safety Information
