1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for assembling and maintaining your KAWADA Nanoblock Plus Hello Kitty Kitty's House (Model PK-003). Please read these instructions carefully before beginning assembly to ensure correct construction and to maximize your enjoyment of this product.
The Nanoblock Plus series features larger blocks than traditional Nanoblocks, making them easier for younger children to handle while still offering detailed building experiences. This set allows you to construct a charming house for Hello Kitty.
2. Setup and Assembly
Before starting assembly, ensure all parts are present. Refer to the parts list provided in the packaging. Clear a flat, stable surface for construction.
2.1 Unpacking the Components
- Carefully open the product packaging.
- Remove all plastic bags containing the building blocks.
- Verify that all pieces, including the Hello Kitty figure, are accounted for against the included parts diagram.
2.2 Assembly Steps
Follow the numbered steps in the included graphical instruction booklet. The Nanoblock Plus system uses interlocking blocks. Ensure each block is firmly pressed into place to create a stable structure.
- Begin by constructing the base of the house using the green baseplate and initial foundation blocks.
- Proceed to build the walls, ensuring proper alignment of each block layer.
- Attach the windows and door frame as indicated in the instructions.
- Construct the roof sections and secure them to the top of the walls.
- Add decorative elements such as the chimney, weather vane, and small garden pieces.
- Place the Hello Kitty figure in front of the completed house.

3. Operating and Play
The Nanoblock Plus Hello Kitty Kitty's House is designed for creative play. Once assembled, the structure is stable for display or gentle interaction.
- The Hello Kitty figure can be placed in various positions around the house.
- The door and windows are fixed and not designed for opening or closing.
- Encourage imaginative play scenarios with the house and figure.
Note: This product is a building toy and not intended for rough play. Excessive force may cause blocks to detach.
4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Nanoblock Plus set.
- Cleaning: To clean the blocks, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or individual blocks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Disassembly: If disassembling the model, carefully separate the blocks to avoid damage. Store all pieces together to prevent loss.
