2. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your CubicFun 3D Giraffe Puzzle:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully open the product packaging and remove all puzzle sheets and the instruction leaflet. Ensure all 43 pieces are present.
2. Identify Pieces: Each puzzle piece is typically numbered or has a unique shape. Familiarize yourself with the pieces before starting assembly.
3. Follow Numerical Order: Most CubicFun 3D puzzles are designed to be assembled by following a numerical sequence printed on the pieces or indicated in the included visual guide. Start with piece 1 and connect it to piece 2, and so on.
4. Interlock Carefully: Gently push the tabs of one piece into the corresponding slots of another. Avoid forcing pieces, as this may cause damage. If a piece doesn't fit, re-check the numbers and orientation.
5. Build the Base: Assemble the base first, if it's a separate component, as it will provide a stable foundation for the giraffe model.
6. Construct the Giraffe: Proceed with assembling the giraffe body, head, legs, and neck, following the numerical or visual guide.
7. Add Scenery: Once the giraffe is complete, attach any additional scenery elements like trees and plants to the base as instructed.
8. Final Placement: Secure the assembled giraffe model onto its base.

Refer to the visual diagrams on the packaging or the included leaflet for detailed step-by-step illustrations.

3. Operating and Play Guidelines

Once assembled, the CubicFun 3D Giraffe Puzzle is primarily intended for display. It can also be used for gentle play, encouraging imaginative scenarios.

• Display: Place the completed model on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve its colors and structural integrity.
• Gentle Interaction: While durable, the puzzle is not designed for rough play. Avoid bending, twisting, or dropping the model to prevent pieces from detaching or breaking.
• Educational Value: Use the model as a learning tool to discuss giraffes, their habitats, and 3D construction principles.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity of your 3D puzzle, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Do not use water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the puzzle's finish and material.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a secure container or the original box to prevent loss or damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the puzzle away from high humidity or liquids, which can cause the material to warp or degrade.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, consider the following:

• Pieces Not Fitting: Double-check the piece numbers and the orientation. Ensure you are not trying to force a piece into an incorrect slot. Refer to the visual guide for correct placement.
• Missing Pieces: While rare, if you believe a piece is missing, carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact CubicFun customer support (see Section 7).
• Model Instability: Ensure all pieces are fully interlocked and seated correctly. The base should be assembled firmly to provide maximum stability.
