Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the magnetic tiles, wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not submerge the tiles in water, as this may damage the internal magnets.
- Storage: Store the magnetic tiles in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original packaging or a designated storage container will help prevent loss and damage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all pieces for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Discontinue use if any piece is broken or if magnets become exposed.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tiles do not connect securely. | Incorrect alignment or weak magnetic connection. | Ensure tiles are aligned correctly. The magnets are designed to attract. If a tile consistently has a weak connection, inspect it for damage. |
| Structure collapses easily. | Insufficient base support or unstable design. | Build a wider and more stable base. Reinforce vertical structures with additional tiles or by connecting them to other parts of the model. |
| Missing pieces. | Pieces may have been misplaced during play or unpacking. | Carefully check the play area and packaging. If pieces are genuinely missing from a new set, contact customer support. |
