4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Using the Chalkboard Side

• Use standard chalk on the black surface.
• Erase drawings and writings using the provided eraser or a soft, damp cloth.

4.2. Using the Magnetic Whiteboard Side

• Use dry-erase markers specifically designed for whiteboards.
• Attach magnetic letters, numbers, or other magnetic toys to the white surface.
• Erase marker drawings using a dry-erase eraser or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized whiteboard cleaner may be used.

4.3. Adjusting Height

To adjust the easel's height, unlock the leg mechanisms, extend or retract the metal legs to the desired height (between 80 cm and 125 cm), and then securely lock the mechanisms back into place. Ensure both legs are adjusted to the same height for stability.

4.4. Folding for Storage

To fold the easel for storage, remove any accessories from the trays. Unlock the folding mechanism (refer to your product's specific instructions for location) and carefully fold the easel flat. This compact design allows for easy storage in small spaces.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning Surfaces:
  • For the chalkboard, use a dry or slightly damp cloth/eraser.
  • For the whiteboard, use a dry-erase eraser. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized whiteboard cleaning spray and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Cleaning: Wipe the plastic and metal frame parts with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Storage: When not in use, especially for extended periods, store the easel in a clean, dry place, preferably folded to protect the surfaces.

6. Troubleshooting

• Easel is wobbly after assembly:

  Ensure all screws and locking mechanisms on the legs and frame are fully tightened. Verify that the legs are adjusted to the same height on both sides.

• Marks are difficult to erase from the whiteboard:

  Ensure you are using dry-erase markers. If marks persist, use a specialized whiteboard cleaning spray. Avoid leaving marks on the board for extended periods.

• Magnetic letters do not stick well:

  Ensure the letters have their magnets properly attached. The whiteboard surface is magnetic, but the strength can vary with different magnetic accessories.
