- Unpack the Contents: Carefully open the puzzle box and remove the six bags of puzzle pieces, the large poster, and the instruction leaflet.
- Review the Poster: Unfold the included poster. This poster displays the full image of the puzzle and is crucial for guiding your assembly.

4. Assembly Instructions
The Trefl Marvel 9000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Prime is designed for flexible assembly. It consists of six 1500-piece puzzles that can be assembled individually and then combined into one large image, or you can create your own unique collage.
Step-by-Step Assembly:
- Assemble Individual Sections: Each of the six bags (A, B, C, D, E, F) contains 1500 pieces that form a distinct section of the overall image. Begin by assembling each 1500-piece puzzle separately. Refer to the poster for the layout of these sections.
- Prepare for Joining: Once all six 1500-piece sections are completed, you will notice that some pieces along the edges of these sections are designed to be removed. These are the "outer edges" that allow the sections to interlock seamlessly. Carefully remove these designated edge pieces from the sides where sections will connect.
- Join the Sections: Arrange the completed 1500-piece puzzles according to the layout shown on the poster (e.g., A-B-C on the top row, D-E-F on the bottom row). Then, using the Unlimited Fit Technology, interlock the prepared edges of the sections. The pieces are designed to fit together perfectly, creating a single, cohesive 9000-piece image.
- Custom Compositions: If you prefer, you can also combine these 1500-piece puzzles with other puzzles from the Trefl Prime 1500 UFT series to create a unique, personalized collage.
