2. Unpack the Puzzle: Carefully open the puzzle box. Inside, you will find a sealed bag containing the puzzle pieces and a poster of the completed image.

3. Operating (Puzzle Assembly)

1. Sort the Edge Pieces: Begin by separating all pieces with at least one straight edge. These pieces form the outer frame of the puzzle.
2. Assemble the Frame: Connect the edge pieces to create the border of the puzzle. Refer to the poster for the correct orientation and placement.
3. Sort by Color and Pattern: Group the remaining pieces by color, pattern, or distinct features. This makes it easier to locate specific pieces for different sections of the image.
4. Work in Sections: Choose a section of the image (e.g., a building, a tree, the pond) and focus on assembling those pieces. Use the poster as a reference for details and color transitions.
5. Connect Sections: Once smaller sections are complete, gradually connect them to the main frame and to each other until the entire puzzle is assembled.

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the puzzle pieces, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the cardboard.
• Storage: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in their original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container. Keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or fading.
• Preservation (Optional): If you wish to preserve your completed puzzle, you can use a puzzle glue specifically designed for this purpose. Apply the glue according to the product instructions, typically to the front of the assembled puzzle, allowing it to dry completely.

5. Troubleshooting

• Missing Piece: In the rare event of a missing piece, first thoroughly check your workspace, under furniture, and inside the puzzle box. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact Trefl customer support with details of your puzzle and the missing piece's location (if identifiable from the poster).
• Pieces Don't Fit: Ensure you are trying to connect pieces that belong together. Trefl puzzles feature 'perfectly matched elements,' meaning pieces should fit snugly without force. If a piece doesn't fit, it likely belongs elsewhere. Re-examine the colors and patterns.
• Difficulty Finding Pieces: If you are struggling to find specific pieces, try re-sorting your remaining pieces by shape, color, or distinct features. Taking a break and returning with fresh eyes can also be helpful.
