4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly is straightforward. All necessary accessories and tools are provided. Please follow these steps carefully:

2. Attach Side Panels: Connect the side panels using the provided screws and the assembly tool. Ensure all connections are secure.

5. Install Safety Rails: Secure the double safety rails. These can be removed as your child grows.

7. Attach Accessories: Secure the basketball hoop and other interactive elements.
8. Final Check: Ensure all screws are tightened and the stool is stable before allowing a child to use it.

User Tip: Some users have found that the provided instructions' illustrations for the standing platform can be misleading. Remember to 'pop' the platform into place from above before securing it with screws.

5. Operating Instructions

The UNICOO Kids Step Stool is designed for ease of use and adaptability.

5.1. Adjusting Height

The standing platform and step can be adjusted to three different height levels to accommodate your child's growth. To adjust, use the provided tool to loosen the screws, reposition the platform/step to the desired slot, and then securely tighten the screws.

5.2. Using Safety Rails

For younger children (under 2 years old), it is recommended to use the double safety rails to provide maximum security. As your child matures and gains more confidence, these rails can be removed, transforming the unit into an 'escalator mode' for easier access.

The dual-sided game board offers various interactive elements:

• Whiteboard: Use dry erase markers for drawing and learning.
• Ring Toss: Practice hand-eye coordination with the included rings.
• Phone Dial: An interactive dial for imaginative play.
• Rotating Gears: Engage fine motor skills by turning the gears.
• Basketball Hoop: Use the small ball for a fun activity.

6. Features and Adjustments

• Adjustable Height: 3 levels for the standing platform and step.
• Double Safety Rails: Provides enhanced security, removable for older children.
• Dual-Sided Game Board: Includes whiteboard, ring toss, phone dial, and rotating gears.
• Anti-Slip Foot Pads: Ensures stability and prevents sliding.
• Storage Space: Integrated storage area for aprons, towels, or small toys.

7. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your step stool, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: The plastic material is easy to clean. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Whiteboard Care: For optimal performance, use only dry erase markers. If residue remains, wipe with a damp cloth or a specialized whiteboard cleaner.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.

8. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues encountered by users:

• Missing Screws/Parts: If you find any missing components upon unboxing, please contact UNICOO customer support immediately for assistance.
• Whiteboard Plastic Film: If the whiteboard appears cloudy or difficult to erase, check for a protective plastic film. It is best removed by unscrewing the whiteboard from its frame before final assembly to ensure complete removal.
• Loose Phone/Accessories: The plastic phone or other small accessories may occasionally separate. Reattach them firmly. If parts are broken, contact customer support.
• Basketball Net: Some packages may not include a net for the basketball hoop, but rather a small air pump. This is a known variation. The slots for a net may still be present.
• Standing Platform Installation: If the standing platform seems difficult to install, remember it needs to be 'popped' into place from above into the designated slots before securing with screws, rather than sliding it in.
