Setup
Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clean, flat, and sufficiently large surface. The finished puzzle measures 850 x 580 mm, so a table of at least this size is recommended. Consider using a puzzle mat or a large board if you need to move the puzzle during assembly.
- Unpack the Puzzle: Carefully open the puzzle box and empty all pieces onto your designated work surface.
- Sort Edge Pieces: Separate all pieces with at least one straight edge. These pieces will form the border of your puzzle.
- Sort by Color and Pattern: Group remaining pieces by color, pattern, or distinct features. This will help in identifying sections of the image.

Operating (Assembly Instructions)
Assembling a 1500-piece puzzle requires patience and strategy. Follow these steps for an optimal experience:
- Build the Border: Assemble the edge pieces first to create the frame of the puzzle. This provides a clear boundary and helps define the overall shape.
- Work on Distinct Sections: Focus on areas of the image with unique colors, patterns, or objects. Assemble these smaller sections independently.
- Connect Sections: Once several smaller sections are complete, begin connecting them to each other and to the border.
- Utilize Piece Shape: Pay attention to the unique shapes of the puzzle pieces. Trefl puzzles feature high-quality, precisely cut pieces that ensure a proper fit.
- Refer to the Box Image: Use the image on the puzzle box as a guide for color, detail, and overall composition.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity of your puzzle and its pieces, follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Store unassembled pieces in the original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
- Cleaning: If pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the cardboard and print.
- Handling: Handle pieces by their edges to prevent bending or tearing. Avoid forcing pieces together, as this can damage the interlocking tabs.
- Finished Puzzle: If you wish to preserve your completed puzzle, you can use a puzzle glue specifically designed for jigsaw puzzles. Apply glue evenly over the surface according to the product's instructions.

Troubleshooting
Encountering challenges is part of the puzzle-solving process. Here are some common issues and solutions:
- Missing Pieces: While rare, if you believe a piece is missing, thoroughly check your work area, under furniture, and inside the puzzle box. Sometimes pieces can stick together or be overlooked during sorting.
- Difficulty Finding a Piece: If you're stuck, take a break and return with fresh eyes. Re-sort pieces, focusing on specific colors or patterns. Sometimes changing your perspective helps identify previously unseen connections.
- Pieces Don't Fit: Trefl puzzles are designed for a precise fit. If a piece doesn't fit easily, do not force it. It likely belongs elsewhere. Double-check the shape and image details.
