6. Care and Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
To clean the assembled model or individual blocks, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
6.2. Storage
Store the building blocks and the assembled model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause colors to fade. If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Missing Pieces
If you discover any missing pieces upon opening the kit, please contact TYCOLE customer support with your product model number (T2113) and a description of the missing parts. Refer to the parts list in the printed manual to identify specific components.
7.2. Difficulty Connecting Blocks
Ensure that blocks are aligned correctly before applying pressure. If a block is difficult to connect, try using the brick separator tool to adjust or re-seat it. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the blocks.
