4. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, your JEKCA Panda 01S is a static display sculpture. It is designed for display and appreciation, not for active play that might stress the connections.
5. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance of your JEKCA Panda 01S:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all parts and screws organized to prevent loss.
6. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Interlocking: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly before inserting screws. If a screw doesn't turn 90 degrees, check for obstructions or misaligned blocks.
- Loose Connections: Verify that all screws are fully turned 90 degrees. If a connection feels loose, gently tighten the corresponding screw.
- Missing Parts: Carefully check all packaging. If parts are genuinely missing, contact JEKCA customer support.
