6. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and appearance of your building set:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the bricks. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution can be used, followed by complete drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the assembled model or disassembled bricks in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent discoloration and material degradation.
• Disassembly: If disassembling the set for storage, keep all pieces organized to prevent loss and simplify future reassembly.

7. Troubleshooting

Refer to the following for common issues:

• Missing Pieces: In the event of missing components, please contact RiceBlock customer support. Provide details of the missing parts, referencing the parts list found in the instruction manual.
• Assembly Difficulty: Ensure that each step in the instruction manual is followed precisely. Verify that the correct bricks are used for each connection. Building bricks often require firm, consistent pressure to secure properly.
• Loose Connections: If assembled parts feel loose, confirm they are fully pressed together. Some connections may require additional force to achieve a secure fit.
