Assembly Instructions (Setup)

Follow these steps to assemble your Eiffel Tower 3D Puzzle. No glue or tools are required, as the pieces are designed to interlock securely.

1. Unpack and Organize: Carefully remove all puzzle sheets from the box. Identify the different sheets and familiarize yourself with the pieces.
2. Identify Pieces: Each puzzle piece is numbered. Refer to the instruction booklet for the correct sequence and placement of pieces. It is recommended to assemble pieces in numerical order.
3. Punch Out Pieces: Gently punch out the required pieces from the foam boards. Be careful not to tear or bend the pieces. If a piece is difficult to remove, use a blunt object to push it out from the back.
4. Assemble Base: Begin by assembling the base structure of the Eiffel Tower as indicated in the instruction booklet. The base pieces are typically larger and provide a stable foundation.
5. Connect Sections: Follow the numerical order to connect subsequent sections of the tower. Pieces are designed to interlock tightly. Ensure each connection is firm and flush.
6. Top Section: Continue building upwards, paying close attention to the orientation of each piece to ensure the tower's structure is accurate.

• Place the finished model on a flat, stable surface to prevent accidental falls.
• Avoid placing it in high-traffic areas where it might be easily knocked over.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CubicFun 3D Puzzle, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Dusting: Gently dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to prevent dust buildup in crevices.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the puzzle away from water and high humidity, as moisture can damage the foam material and printed surfaces.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colors to fade over time. Place the model in a shaded area.
• Handling: When moving the model, support it from the base to prevent stress on the assembled sections.

Troubleshooting

While assembling your puzzle, you might encounter minor issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Difficulty Fitting Pieces:

  Ensure you are using the correct pieces by checking their numbers against the instruction booklet. Sometimes, a gentle wiggle or slight pressure is needed to fit pieces snugly. Do not force pieces, as this can cause damage.

• Missing Pieces:

  Carefully check all packaging materials and the area where you are assembling the puzzle. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact CubicFun customer support (see "Support" section).

• Model is Unstable:

  Review the assembly steps, especially the base and lower sections. Ensure all connections are fully interlocked and secure. A loose connection can affect the overall stability.
