Instellen

Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clean, flat, and sufficiently large surface to work on. The assembled puzzle dimensions are 38.1 x 27.25 inches, so a table or board of at least this size is recommended.

1. Pak de puzzel uit: Carefully remove all puzzle pieces from the box.
2. Ruim je werkplek op: Ensure the assembly area is free from obstructions and potential hazards.
3. Initial Sorting: Begin by separating the edge pieces from the interior pieces. Edge pieces typically have one straight side.

Operating (Assembly)

Follow these steps for an organized and enjoyable puzzle assembly experience:

1. Sort Pieces by Characteristics: After separating edge pieces, further sort the remaining interior pieces by color, distinct patterns, or geographical regions visible on the puzzle image. This will significantly aid in the assembly process.
2. Stel de rand samen: Start by connecting all the edge pieces to form the outer frame of the puzzle. This provides a clear boundary and structure for the rest of the assembly.
3. Work on Inner Sections: Using the sorted piles and referring to the image on the puzzle box, begin assembling distinct sections of the map. Focus on areas with unique colors, landmasses, or ocean details.
4. Secties verbinden: Once smaller sections are completed, gradually connect them to each other and to the border until the entire puzzle image is formed.
5. Laatste Review: After all pieces are placed, gently press down on the entire puzzle to ensure all connections are secure.

Onderhoud

To preserve the quality and longevity of your jigsaw puzzle:

• Opslag: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in their original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Schoonmaak: Als onderdelen stoffig worden, veeg ze dan voorzichtig af met een droge, zachte doek. Gebruik geen vloeistoffen of schuurmiddelen.
• Behandeling: Handle pieces carefully to prevent bending or tearing. The pieces are designed to be extra thick and durable, but proper handling extends their life.
• Preservation (Optional): If you wish to permanently display your completed puzzle, consider using a puzzle glue specifically designed for jigsaw puzzles. Apply according to the glue manufacturer's instructions.

Probleemoplossing

Hier zijn oplossingen voor veelvoorkomende problemen die u kunt tegenkomen:

• Ontbrekend stuk: While rare, if you believe a piece is missing, thoroughly check your workspace, under furniture, and inside the puzzle box. If a piece is genuinely missing from a new puzzle, please contact customer support.
• Stukken passen niet: Ensure you are attempting to connect the correct pieces. Schmidt puzzles feature smooth-edged, well-fitting pieces. If a piece doesn't fit easily, it is likely not the correct one for that spot. Do not force pieces together, as this can damage them.
• Difficulty with Large Areas of Similar Color: For large areas like oceans or deserts, rely more on piece shape and subtle color variations. Sorting by shape (e.g., pieces with two knobs and two holes) can be helpful.
