6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Sluban M38-B0778 building block set, follow these simple 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 the assembled model or disassembled blocks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Handling: Handle the model with care to avoid accidental breakage of smaller parts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following:
- Missing Parts: Double-check the packaging and surrounding area. If a part is genuinely missing, contact customer support (refer to Section 9).
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a block is too tight or too loose, check if it's the correct part for that step.
- Model Instability: Review previous assembly steps to ensure all connections are firm and correct. Incorrectly placed blocks can affect the overall stability.
