4.2 Base and Structure Assembly

5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, the BePuzzled Windmill Deluxe 3D Crystal Puzzle is primarily a display item. The windmill blades are designed to spin, adding an interactive element to the finished model. Gently rotate the blades by hand to observe their movement.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your assembled puzzle, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the plastic or leave streaks.
- Storage: Store the puzzle in a stable location away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration over time.
- Handling: Handle the assembled puzzle with care to avoid dislodging pieces.
7. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Assembling: If you find assembly challenging, try sorting pieces more thoroughly. Sometimes, pieces that look similar have subtle differences. Refer to the product image for clues on piece placement.
- Loose Pieces: Ensure each piece is firmly interlocked. Some 3D crystal puzzles may benefit from a small amount of clear plastic glue (not included) for permanent display, though this is generally not required for stability.
- Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact BePuzzled customer support.
