Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your Eichhorn Constructor set.

Cleaning: Wipe wooden and plastic components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use harsh cleaning agents, as this may damage the wood or paint.
Storage: Store all components in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or fading. Keep all pieces together in the original packaging or a designated storage container to avoid loss.
Inspection: Periodically inspect all pieces for wear and tear. Discard any broken or splintered wooden parts to prevent injury.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

Missing Pieces: Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact Eichhorn customer support with your product model number and purchase details.
Difficulty Assembling:
- Ensure you are following the instruction diagrams correctly.
- Verify that you are using the correct plastic fasteners for the corresponding holes.
- Do not force pieces together; they should fit with reasonable effort.
Loose Connections: Tighten plastic nuts and screws until components are secure. Avoid overtightening, which could strip the plastic threads.
