Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your puzzle:
- Cleaning: To clean the puzzle pieces and wooden parts, wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the puzzle in its original packaging or a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and humidity. This helps prevent warping, fading, or damage to the wood and paper components.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all pieces for wear and tear. If any parts become broken or damaged, discontinue use to prevent potential hazards, especially for younger children.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: In the event of missing puzzle pieces or wooden parts, please contact Hape customer support. Provide your product model number (E1635) and purchase details for assistance.
- Difficulty Assembling: Ensure all puzzle pieces are oriented correctly. The unique shapes of jigsaw pieces are designed to fit only in their designated spots. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it. Refer to the product images or the included poster for visual guidance.
