5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, your JQARCH Mini Animal Building Block figures can be utilized for display or imaginative play.
- Display: The transparent cases are designed to protect the figures from dust and potential damage. The stackable nature of the cases allows for creative and space-efficient display arrangements.
- Play: While the assembled figures are durable, handle them with care during play to prevent individual blocks from detaching. The small size of the blocks means that rough handling could lead to disassembly.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your building block set.
- Cleaning Blocks and Cases: To clean the building blocks or their display cases, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying with a clean, dry cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic material and affect the color or finish.
- Storage: Store unassembled blocks in a secure, sealed container to prevent loss and keep them free from dust. Keep assembled figures in their display cases for protection.

This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or use.
- Missing Pieces: Each kit is designed with a small quantity of extra blocks. If you find a specific piece missing, first check the spare parts provided. If critical pieces are still missing after checking, please contact customer support.
- Difficulty Assembling: Carefully review the illustrated instructions for the specific animal model. Ensure that blocks are oriented correctly and that you are using the correct pieces. Sometimes, similar-colored blocks can be confused; pay close attention to the color differentiation in the diagrams.
