To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Playmobil Noah's Ark:

• Storage: Store the ark and its components in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Playmobil Noah's Ark, consider the following:

• Ark Not Floating Properly: Ensure the hull is correctly attached to the deck and there are no gaps. Check that the ark is not overloaded with too many items.
