3. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your Fairytale Dream Castle:
- Preparation: Clear a large, well-lit workspace. Open all bags containing building pieces and sort them by color or type to facilitate easier identification during assembly.
- Follow Instructions Sequentially: Refer to the provided instruction booklet. Each step illustrates the pieces required and their placement. Pay close attention to the orientation of pieces.
- Connecting Pieces: Building blocks are designed to fit snugly. Apply firm, even pressure to snap pieces together. If a piece is difficult to connect, ensure it is correctly aligned.
- Stud Counting: Some instructions may require counting studs for accurate placement. Carefully count the studs on the base and connecting pieces to ensure correct alignment.
- Base Construction: Begin by assembling the base structure as shown in the initial steps of the manual. This provides a stable foundation for the castle.
- Vertical Construction: Build upwards, adding walls, towers, and decorative elements. Some sections may require rotation of the main structure to access different sides for building.
- Delicate Connections: Certain elements, such as the stairs, may have fewer connection points. Handle these sections with care during and after assembly to prevent accidental detachment.
- Sticker Application: Apply stickers as indicated in the instruction manual to add decorative details to your castle.

5. Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the building blocks, gently wipe them with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, blocks can be washed with mild soap and water. Ensure all pieces are completely dry before storing to prevent damage.
Storage
Store the building blocks in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping the pieces in their original box or a dedicated storage container will help prevent loss and damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: Carefully re-check all packaging and the assembly area. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact COGO customer support.
- Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure pieces are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply firm, steady pressure. If a piece consistently resists connection, verify it is the correct piece for that step.
- Structure Instability: Review previous steps to ensure all connections are secure and pieces are placed according to the instructions. Loose connections can lead to instability.
- Stairs Detaching: The stairs may have a less robust connection. Handle the castle with care, especially around these areas. Reattach if they come loose.
