Interior Organization
The fully lined interior is designed for efficient packing:
- Zipped Divider Pad: Separates the two main compartments, often featuring additional pockets for smaller items.
- Elastic Cross Ribbons: Secure your packed items in place, preventing shifting during transit.
- Large Hinge Pocket: Provides extra storage for documents or accessories.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your luggage.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the polypropylene shell with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Interior: Spot clean the interior lining with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before closing.
- Wheels and Handle: Periodically check wheels for debris and clean as necessary. Ensure the telescopic handle extends and retracts smoothly. Do not force a stuck handle.
- Zippers: Keep zippers free of dirt and debris. Lubricate with a zipper lubricant if they become stiff.
Troubleshooting
- Stuck Telescopic Handle: Ensure no items are obstructing the handle mechanism inside the lining. Gently wiggle the handle while pressing the release button. Do not apply excessive force.
- Stiff Wheels: Check for hair, lint, or other debris caught in the wheel axles. Clean thoroughly. If wheels remain stiff, contact customer support.
- Combination Lock Issues: If you forget your combination, there is no master reset. You may need to try combinations or contact Samsonite customer service for assistance.
- Zipper Malfunction: Ensure the zipper teeth are aligned. If a zipper is stuck, try applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., graphite from a pencil) to the teeth.
