3. Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the puzzle pieces and the 6 sorter compartments from their packaging.
2. Prepare Workspace: Choose a clean, flat, and stable surface large enough to accommodate the assembled puzzle (approximately 26.89 x 18.9 inches).
3. Arrange Sorter: Place the 6 sorter compartments within easy reach around your workspace. The compartments are designed to connect and stack, allowing for space-saving organization.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Sorting Puzzle Pieces:
   • Empty all puzzle pieces onto your workspace.
   • Use the 6 sorter compartments to separate pieces by various criteria, such as:
     • Color: Group pieces with similar colors.
     • Shape: Separate edge pieces from inner pieces.
     • Pattern/Detail: Group pieces belonging to distinct parts of the image (e.g., hot air balloons, sky, landscape).
   • The matte, anti-reflective surface inside each container helps prevent glare, making sorting easier.
2. Assembling the Puzzle:
   • Begin by assembling the border of the puzzle using the sorted edge pieces.
   • Proceed to fill in the interior of the puzzle, utilizing your sorted groups to locate pieces more efficiently.
   • The puzzle pieces are made from high-quality, environmentally friendly materials with special flax fiber paper to reduce light reflections, making assembly effortless.
3. Storing Puzzle Pieces:
   • When taking a break or for long-term storage, place sorted or unsorted pieces back into the sorter compartments.
   • Stack the compartments to save space.
   • The sorter can then be placed back into the original product box for convenient storage and transport, ensuring pieces are not lost.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Sorter: Wipe the plastic sorter compartments with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.
• Puzzle Care: The puzzle pieces are made of paper. Avoid exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures to prevent warping or fading.
• Storage: Store the puzzle and sorter in a dry, cool place, preferably in its original packaging, to protect it from dust and damage.
