Operating Instructions (Display and Handling)
Once assembled, your Nano-block model is primarily for display. Handle with care to prevent accidental disassembly.
- Display Location: Place the model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity.
- Handling: When moving the model, support it from the base to avoid putting stress on individual connections.
- Not a Toy: This model contains small parts and is not intended for rough play. It is recommended for ages 12 and up due to the small size of the blocks.
Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance of your Nano-block model.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a small, soft brush to gently remove dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
- Model is unstable: Double-check all connections. Ensure blocks are fully pressed together. Refer to the assembly diagrams to confirm correct placement.
- Missing piece: Carefully re-check the packaging and your work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact KAWADA customer support with your model number and the specific piece required.
- Difficulty connecting blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force blocks together, as this may cause damage.
