Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your building set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the set regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care to prevent pieces from detaching.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following common solutions:
- Missing Pieces: Double-check all packaging and sorting areas. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact the manufacturer's customer support.
- Loose Connections: Ensure that all bricks are fully pressed together. Sometimes a slight adjustment can secure a connection.
