3. Initial Setup

Setting the TSA Combination Lock

Your luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved combination lock. The default combination is typically 0-0-0. To set your personal combination:

1. Ensure the lock is set to the default combination (0-0-0).
2. Locate the small reset button (usually a small hole) on the side or bottom of the lock. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button.
3. While holding the reset button, rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit combination.
4. Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set.
5. Test the new combination by scrambling the dials and then entering your set combination to open the lock.

Important: Remember your combination. DELSEY PARIS cannot open your lock if the combination is forgotten.

4. Operating Instructions

Using the Spinner Wheels

The dual-density spinner wheels allow for 360-degree rotation, providing effortless mobility. To move your luggage, simply push or pull it in any direction. For optimal performance, ensure all four wheels are in contact with the ground when rolling.

Extending and Retracting the Handle

The ergonomic pull handle can be adjusted to multiple heights. Press the button located on the top of the handle and pull upwards to extend it. To retract, press the button again and push the handle downwards until it is fully nested.

Opening and Closing the Main Compartment

To open, unlock the TSA combination lock and pull the zipper sliders apart. To close, align the zipper teeth and pull the sliders together. For enhanced security, engage the SECURITECH zip by ensuring the sliders are fully seated into the lock mechanism.

Utilizing Internal Organization

The interior features cross-straps to secure contents, a zippered divider, mesh pockets, a removable laundry bag, and a shoe bag. Use these compartments to organize your belongings and prevent shifting during transit.

5. Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the polycarbonate shell with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface. For faux leather accents, use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, or a damp cloth.

Cleaning the Interior

The SILVADUR-treated lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before closing the luggage.

Wheel and Zipper Care

Periodically check the wheels for debris and clean as needed. Lubricate zippers with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff. Ensure zippers are fully closed when not in use to prevent damage.

Storage

Store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the luggage during storage to prevent deformation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Stuck Wheels: Check for hair or debris caught in the wheel mechanism. Clean thoroughly. If wheels remain stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied.
• Zipper Issues: If a zipper is difficult to move, ensure no fabric is caught. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant. If the zipper teeth are misaligned, gently try to realign them by moving the slider back and forth.
• Lock Not Opening: Ensure you are entering the correct 3-digit combination. If you have forgotten your combination, DELSEY PARIS cannot assist in opening the lock. A locksmith may be required.
• Handle Not Extending/Retracting: Check for obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure the release button is fully depressed when operating the handle.
