Operating Instructions

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning the Doll: After water play, gently wipe the doll with a soft, dry cloth. Allow the doll to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
- Cleaning Accessories: Wash the bathtub and bottle with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Storage: Store the doll and accessories in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Water Quality: Use clean tap water for all water-based features. Avoid using colored liquids or harsh chemicals, as they may stain or damage the doll.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Hair color change is not visible. | Ensure the water used is sufficiently cold. The color change is temperature-sensitive. Repeat the process with colder water if necessary. |
| Doll is not "peeing" or diaper surprise is not revealing. | Ensure the doll has been fed enough water from the bottle. Check that the bottle's nipple is properly inserted into the doll's mouth. If the doll has been stored for a long time, a small amount of water may be needed to prime the internal mechanism. |
| Starfish is not dissolving properly. | Ensure the starfish is fully submerged in water. Allow sufficient time for it to dissolve completely. Agitating the water slightly may help. |
