Setup
The FAO Schwarz 3-in-1 Easel Set comes pre-assembled, requiring no complex setup. Follow these steps to prepare your easel for use:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all items listed in the "What's Included" section are present.
- Placement: Place the easel on a stable, flat surface, such as a table or desk.
- Paper Roll Installation: The paper roll mounts above the easel. Unroll a desired length of paper and pull it down over either the dry erase board or chalkboard side, depending on your preference.

Operating Instructions
The easel offers three primary modes for creative expression:
1. Dry Erase Board with LED Lights
- Drawing: Use the included dry erase markers on the black dry erase board surface.
- Activating LED Lights: Locate the power button for the LED lights. Press it to turn the lights on.
- Changing Light Modes: The LED lights feature five different lighting modes. Press the power button repeatedly to cycle through these modes:
- Constant light
- Fading
- Flashing
- Left-to-right waves
- Center-parting waves
2. Chalkboard
- Drawing: Flip the easel to the other side to access the black chalkboard. Use the included chalk to draw and write.
- Erasing: Use the included chalk eraser to clean the chalkboard surface.
3. Paper Roll
- Using Paper: Pull down the paper from the roll over either the dry erase or chalkboard side. Secure the paper if necessary to prevent it from rolling back up while drawing.
- Drawing: Use any preferred drawing medium on the paper, such as markers, crayons, or pencils.
- Advancing Paper: Once a drawing is complete or the paper is full, tear off the used section and pull down a fresh length of paper from the roll.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your easel set:
- Cleaning the Dry Erase Board: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the dry erase board. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or the included dry eraser, as some users have reported that it may scratch the surface. For best results, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Chalkboard: Use the provided chalk eraser or a damp cloth to clean the chalkboard. Allow it to dry completely before next use.
- Battery Replacement: When the LED lights dim or stop working, replace the batteries. Ensure you use the correct battery type and size as specified in the battery compartment. Always dispose of used batteries responsibly.
- Storage: Store the easel set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep markers and chalk capped when not in use to prevent drying out.
