6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe components with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents.
• Storage: Store the kit and its components in their original packaging or a suitable container in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries from the battery holder if the kit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Circuit Not Working:
  • Check battery polarity and ensure batteries are fresh.
  • Verify all components are correctly connected according to the circuit diagram in the manual. Ensure connections are firm using the Easy Klick System.
  • Inspect components for any visible damage.
• Difficulty with Connections:

  If connections feel too tight initially, gently press the components together. The Easy Klick System is designed for secure connections, which may require a firm push at first. Adult assistance may be helpful for younger children.

• Missing or Damaged Parts:

  If any parts are missing or damaged upon opening the kit, please contact Kosmos customer support.
