4. Operating Instructions: Puzzle Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle:

1. Build the Border: Begin by assembling the frame of the puzzle using the sorted edge pieces. This provides a structural foundation for the rest of the puzzle.
2. Work on Distinct Sections: Identify prominent colors, patterns, or objects within the puzzle image (using the poster as a guide). Assemble these smaller sections independently.
3. Connect Sections: Once smaller sections are complete, gradually connect them to the border and to each other, working towards the center of the puzzle.
4. Utilize Piece Shape and Color: Pay close attention to the unique cut of each piece and its color or pattern to find its correct match. The 'Perfect Snap™' technology ensures pieces fit together securely when correctly placed.
5. Patience and Persistence: Jigsaw puzzles require patience. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it. Re-examine the surrounding pieces and the puzzle poster.

5. Maintenance and Care

• Storage: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in the provided collectible tin case to prevent loss or damage. Keep the tin in a cool, dry place.
• Cleaning: If pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Handling: Handle pieces carefully to prevent bending or tearing. The puzzle is made from premium materials resistant to warping and tearing, but proper handling extends its lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: While rare, if you believe a piece is missing, thoroughly check your workspace, under furniture, and inside the tin case. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact Buffalo Games customer support.
• Pieces Don't Fit: Ensure you are not forcing pieces together. Each piece is uniquely cut for a precise fit. Re-evaluate the surrounding pieces and the puzzle image on the poster.
