Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Trefl 1000-piece puzzle:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a flat, clean, and well-lit surface large enough to accommodate the finished puzzle (683 x 480 mm).
2. Sort the Edge Pieces: Begin by separating all pieces with at least one straight edge. These pieces will form the border of your puzzle.
3. Build the Frame: Assemble the border pieces first. This provides a clear boundary and helps define the overall shape of the image.
4. Sort by Color and Pattern: Group the remaining inner pieces by color, pattern, or distinct features from the image. This makes it easier to locate specific pieces.
5. Assemble Inner Sections: Work on smaller sections of the puzzle, focusing on areas with unique colors or recognizable details. Gradually connect these sections until the entire image is complete.
6. Verify Connections: Ensure all pieces are correctly interlocked. Trefl puzzles are designed for a precise fit, but occasionally pieces may seem to fit in the wrong place. Double-check patterns and colors.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity of your puzzle and its pieces:

• Keep Clean: Always work on a clean surface to prevent dirt or dust from adhering to the puzzle pieces.
• Storage: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in their original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container to prevent loss or damage.
• Gluing (Optional): If you wish to preserve your completed puzzle, special puzzle glue (such as Trefl puzzle glue) can be applied to the front surface. Once dry, the puzzle can be mounted on cardboard and displayed.

Difficulty in Assembly:

Some puzzles, especially those with complex artwork or similar color tones, can be challenging. If you find assembly difficult, try sorting pieces into smaller, more manageable groups, or take a break and return with fresh eyes. Working with another person can also be beneficial.
