Setup
- Unpack Contents: Carefully remove all blocks and the instruction manual from the packaging.
- Verify Components: Check the included assembly instruction manual (A5 booklet, 88 pages) to ensure all parts are present. A parts list is typically provided within the manual.
- Prepare Building Area: Choose a clean, flat, and stable surface for assembly to prevent loss of small parts.
Operating Instructions
Follow the detailed instructions provided in the included assembly manual to construct various models. The nanoblock plus system allows for both vertical and horizontal connections, offering flexibility in design. Experiment with different block orientations to achieve desired shapes and structures.
Building Techniques:
- Layering: Build models layer by layer, ensuring each block is securely connected to the one below it.
- Side Connections: Utilize the "Yokopita" feature to connect blocks horizontally, creating smooth surfaces and stable structures.
- Disassembly: To separate blocks, gently pull them apart. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
Note: All example models shown in promotional materials or the instruction manual cannot be built simultaneously with a single set. You may need to disassemble one model to build another.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the blocks, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store blocks in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping. Keep them in their original container or a suitable storage box to prevent loss of small pieces.
- Handling: Handle blocks gently during assembly and disassembly to maintain their integrity and connection strength.
Troubleshooting
- Blocks not connecting securely: Ensure the studs are aligned correctly and apply gentle, even pressure. Check for any debris obstructing the connection points.
- Difficulty separating blocks: Use a block separator tool if available, or gently twist and pull. Avoid using excessive force or sharp objects.
- Missing parts: Refer to the parts list in the instruction manual. If parts are missing from a new set, contact KAWADA customer support.
- Model instability: Double-check the assembly steps in the manual. Ensure all connections are firm and that the base of your model is wide and stable enough for its height.
