5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning and Care
To clean the writable surface, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away any dry-erase marker markings. For general cleaning of the globe and base, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface or printed map details. Ensure the globe is dry before storing or using again.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your GOCHANGE globe, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Markings not erasing completely: Ensure you are using dry-erase markers. For stubborn marks, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth.
- Globe not spinning smoothly: Check for any debris or obstructions around the axis points. Ensure the globe is correctly seated in its base as per assembly instructions.
- Globe feels unstable: Verify that the base is placed on a flat, stable surface. Re-check the assembly to ensure the globe is securely attached to the base.
