Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Instructions

• To clean the plush toy, use a damp towel to spot clean any soiled areas.
• Do not submerge the toy in water or wash it in a washing machine, as this can damage the internal electronic mechanism.

General Handling

• Avoid dropping or throwing the plush toy, as impact can damage the internal components.
