5. Operating Instructions
5.1 LED Lighting
Once the assembly is complete and batteries are installed, locate the power switch for the LED lights. This switch is typically discreetly placed on the back or side of the model. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to illuminate your miniature toy shop.
- Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with the proper polarity.
- If lights do not turn on, check battery placement and replace batteries if necessary.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your miniature toy shop, gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may damage the wooden components or delicate decorations.
6.2 Storage
When not on display, store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a protective box can help prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
7. Troubleshooting
- LED Lights Not Working:
- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals aligned.
- Ensure the batteries are fresh. Replace them if they are old or depleted.
- Verify all wiring connections are secure and not loose.
- Pieces Not Staying Together:
- Ensure that pieces are fully inserted into their designated slots.
- If using the provided double-sided tape, ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. Apply firm pressure for several seconds.
- For small or frequently stressed components, consider using a small amount of quick-drying craft glue (not included) for a more permanent bond.
