3. Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the doll from its packaging. Retain packaging for future reference if needed.
- Initial Inspection: Examine the doll for any visible damage or manufacturing defects.
- Preparation for Play: Ensure the doll is clean and dry before its first use in water.
4. Operating Instructions
The primary feature of this doll is its color-changing ability. Follow these steps to activate the color change:
- Prepare Water: Fill a container or bathtub with icy cold water. The colder the water, the more pronounced and effective the color change will be.
- Submerge Doll: Gently submerge the doll's hair and tail into the icy cold water.
- Observe Color Change: The doll's hair and tail are designed to change color upon contact with cold water. The color will revert to its original shade as the doll warms up.
- Repeat: For repeated color changes, ensure the doll returns to its original temperature before re-submerging in cold water.
Note: Warm or hot water will not activate the color change feature. Only icy cold water will produce the desired effect.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After water play, rinse the doll with clean, fresh water to remove any soap residue or impurities.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the doll after each use. Pay special attention to areas where water might collect, such as joints or where the tail meets the body, to prevent mold growth. Air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the doll in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Hair Care: The doll's hair is designed to resist tangling. If tangles occur, gently comb with a wide-tooth comb while wet.
6. Troubleshooting
