5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your LEGO set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the LEGO bricks and minifigures. For deeper cleaning, you can wash LEGO bricks by hand using lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C or 104°F) and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid using hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic.
• Storage: Store your LEGO set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping of the plastic. Keeping the pieces in a container or on a display shelf will help prevent loss of small parts.
• Handling: Handle the set with care to avoid accidental disassembly or damage to delicate parts.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following common solutions:

• Missing Pieces: If you find a piece missing, first double-check all packaging and surrounding areas. LEGO has a customer service portal where you can request replacement parts directly.
• Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step. Sometimes, similar-looking pieces can be confused. Apply firm, even pressure when connecting bricks.
• Model Instability: Review the previous assembly steps to ensure all connections are secure and no steps were missed. Loose connections can lead to an unstable model.
• Digital App Issues: If the LEGO Builder app is not functioning correctly, ensure your device's operating system is up to date and the app is the latest version. Try restarting the app or your device.
