Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your LEGO set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the bricks. For deeper cleaning, wash bricks by hand in lukewarm water (max 40°C / 104°F) with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use hot water, washing machines, or dryers, as this can damage the bricks.
- Storage: Store your LEGO set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping of plastic elements.
- Handling: Avoid excessive force when assembling or disassembling bricks to prevent damage.

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