6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your COGO building blocks, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the blocks with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and air drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store all pieces in a clean, dry container or the original packaging when not in use. This prevents loss of pieces and protects them from dust and damage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all pieces for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any broken or severely worn pieces to maintain safety and play quality.
7. Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following common solutions:
- Missing Pieces: Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact COGO customer support (contact information not provided in this manual).
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure the blocks are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can cause damage.
- Model Instability: Re-check the assembly steps to ensure all connections are firm and correct. Loose connections can lead to an unstable model.
