Assembly of the Costzon 2-in-1 Play Tent and Playpen is designed to be tool-free. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Identify all PVC poles and plastic connectors.

8. Install Star Lights: Carefully string the star light strip around the top edges or inside the tent as desired. Ensure the battery pack (if applicable) is placed in a secure, accessible location away from children.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Costzon play tent and playpen.

• Cleaning the Mat: The cotton-padded mat is removable and washable. Follow the care instructions on the mat's label, typically machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low, or air dry.
• Cleaning the Fabric: The tent and playpen fabric can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash the tent fabric as it may damage the structure or material.
• Frame Cleaning: Wipe PVC poles and plastic connectors with a damp cloth as needed.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the tent and store all components in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
• Light String: Remove batteries from the light string if storing for extended periods to prevent corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:

• Difficulty Assembling Poles: Ensure you are using the correct length poles for each section as indicated in the assembly diagram. Apply gentle, even pressure when inserting poles into connectors. If a connection is too tight, slightly rotate the pole while pushing.
• Fabric Not Fitting Correctly: Double-check that the frame is fully and correctly assembled according to the instructions. The fabric should be draped over the frame before zipping or securing. Ensure the bottom zipper is fully engaged.
• Tent Appears Unstable: Verify that all PVC poles are fully inserted into their connectors and that the base zipper is completely closed. The structure should be firm. If instability persists, re-check each connection point.
• Star Lights Not Working: Check the batteries in the light string. Ensure they are inserted correctly with the correct polarity. If using new batteries, confirm they are functional.
• Mat Shifting: Ensure the mat's fixing straps are securely attached to the designated points within the tent.
