Setup
Before you begin assembly, ensure you have a clean, flat surface to work on. This set contains 844 pieces, so organizing them by color or type can be helpful.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the box and remove all plastic bags containing LEGO bricks.
- Locate Instruction Booklets: The set includes detailed, step-by-step pictorial instructions. Follow these carefully for optimal assembly.
- Digital Instructions: For an interactive building experience, download the free LEGO Building Instructions app. This app allows you to view your model in 3D, rotate it, and zoom in during the build process.
- Follow Sequential Steps: Each bag of bricks corresponds to a specific section of the build. Open bags only as instructed to avoid mixing pieces.
- Connect Pieces Firmly: Ensure all bricks are pressed firmly together to create a stable structure.
Operating Instructions
Once assembled, the Emma's Art School House offers a variety of interactive play opportunities:
- Pottery Wheel: Turn the handle to make the pottery wheel spin, allowing mini-dolls to 'create' ceramic pieces.
- Fashion Studio: Use the posable mannequin to display different fashion designs.
- 3D Printer: Engage in pretend 3D printing activities within the dedicated studio.
- Photography Studio: Utilize the camera with its two lenses and the backdrop for photo shoots.
- Customization: Personalize the exterior of the art school using the included LEGO DOTS tiles to create unique patterns and designs.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your LEGO Friends set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the bricks. For deeper cleaning, wash LEGO bricks by hand using lukewarm water (up to 40°C / 104°F) and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use hot water, dishwashers, or washing machines, as this can damage the bricks.
- Storage: Store your LEGO set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping. Keep small pieces in a container to avoid loss.
- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care to prevent pieces from detaching.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following:
- Missing Pieces: If you find a piece is missing, first double-check all packaging and the surrounding area. If still missing, contact LEGO Customer Service directly through their official website for replacement parts.
- Difficulty Assembling: Refer back to the instruction manual or the LEGO Building Instructions app. Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step and that they are oriented correctly.
- Loose Connections: Press pieces firmly together until you feel a secure connection.
