First, remove the electronic sound unit from the back of the toy and close the fabric fastener securely. Place the fabric shell in a pillowcase and tie it closed. Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Do not wash the electronic unit.

Ensure batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -). If the toy has a 'Try Me' mode switch, move it to the 'Play' or 'On' position. Also, check the battery compartment for any corrosion or debris blocking the contacts.
