Setup and Assembly
The Ada's Studio kit requires assembly of various miniature components. Follow the steps carefully for best results.

2. Assembly Steps
Follow the numbered instructions provided in the kit's dedicated assembly guide. General steps include:
- Preparation: Carefully detach pre-cut pieces from their sheets. Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth any rough edges if necessary.
- Gluing: Apply glue sparingly to the designated tabs or surfaces. Hold pieces together firmly until the glue sets.
- Folding and Cutting: For paper or fabric components, follow the score lines for accurate folds and use sharp scissors or a craft knife for precise cuts.
- Wiring (LEDs): Connect the LED components according to the wiring diagram. Ensure correct polarity if applicable. Secure wires neatly to avoid obstruction.

Operating Instructions
The Ada's Studio miniature house features integrated LED lighting to illuminate your completed scene.
LED Lighting Operation
Once assembly is complete and the wiring is connected, the LED lights can be activated. The kit typically includes a battery box (batteries not included) with an on/off switch. Insert the required batteries (e.g., AAA batteries) into the battery box, connect it to the main power line of the LED circuit, and use the switch to turn the lights on or off.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your miniature house, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the miniature house with a soft brush or a can of compressed air to remove accumulated dust. Avoid using wet cloths, which may damage paper or fabric components.
- Placement: Display the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can cause warping or fading.
- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care, preferably by its base, to avoid dislodging delicate components.
- Battery Replacement: If the LED lights dim or stop working, replace the batteries in the battery box. Ensure proper battery orientation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or operation, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts do not fit together. | Excess glue, rough edges, incorrect orientation. | Ensure glue is applied thinly. Gently sand edges if needed. Double-check the assembly diagram for correct part orientation. |
| LED lights do not turn on. | Incorrect battery installation, dead batteries, loose wire connection, faulty LED. | Check battery polarity and ensure batteries are fresh. Verify all wire connections are secure. Inspect LED for visible damage. |
