5. Maintenance

To keep your HIGH GODO Japanese Takoyaki Shop looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush to gently remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.
• Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause colors to fade.

6. Troubleshooting

Encountering issues during assembly? Here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Missing Pieces: If you find any missing bricks, please contact HIGH GODO customer service with details of the missing parts. Do not discard the packaging until assembly is complete.
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. The included brick separator can help if blocks are too tight or need to be removed.
• Loose Connections: Some connections might feel looser than others. Ensure all studs are fully engaged. If a piece consistently feels loose, try swapping it with a similar piece if available, or apply a tiny amount of non-permanent adhesive for display purposes (not recommended if you plan to disassemble).
• Stickers Not Adhering: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying stickers. Press firmly. If stickers peel, a small amount of craft glue can be used (use sparingly).
