Operating Instructions

The Eichhorn Wooden Easel Blackboard offers two primary modes of use:

• Chalkboard Side: Use the provided chalk to draw or write on the green chalkboard surface. The surface is designed for easy erasing with the included sponge.
• Magnetic Side: The reverse side of the blackboard is magnetic. Use the magnetic letters or other magnetic toys to create words, numbers, or pictures.
• Adjusting the Board: The blackboard can be rotated or adjusted to different angles for comfortable use. Secure it in place using the red locking mechanism on the side of the frame.
• Storage: Utilize the lower shelf to store chalk, sponges, magnetic letters, and other art supplies.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Blackboard: Use the provided sponge or a soft, damp cloth to clean the chalkboard surfaces. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
• Wood Care: Wipe wooden parts with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Storage: When not in use, store the easel in a dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to maintain stability.

Troubleshooting

• Easel is Wobbly: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the easel is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Chalk Marks Not Erasing: Ensure the chalkboard surface is clean and dry before use. Use the provided sponge or a dedicated chalkboard eraser. For older, stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth may be more effective.
• Magnetic Letters Not Sticking: Ensure the magnetic side of the board is clean and free of chalk dust or debris. Verify that the magnetic letters themselves are not damaged.
• Board Adjustment Issues: If the board does not adjust smoothly or stay in position, check the red locking mechanisms on the side of the frame. Ensure they are properly engaged.
