For example, Step 1 involves attaching parts (1) and (6) using hardware A and B, while Step 8 focuses on assembling the sink and stovetop area with parts (11), (12), (13), (14), (20), (26), and various hardware components.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the product's longevity and proper function. The manual outlines several key maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Checks: Users should check the assembly at regular intervals to ensure all parts are secure.
- Tighten Hardware: Hardware should be tightened frequently if necessary. Failure to do so could lead to the product ceasing to function properly.
- Cleaning Instructions:
- The surface should be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth and mild dishwashing liquid.
- Avoid using cleaning products containing alcohol or ammonia, as these can dull the shiny surface of the product.
- Furniture polish can also be used to clean and dust the surface.
- It is recommended to test all cleaning materials on an inconspicuous area (e.g., the underside of a surface) before widespread use.
- Wall Anchor Kit: For additional stability, especially if the kitchen is placed against a wall, KidKraft offers a free Wall Anchor Kit (plus shipping). This kit allows the kitchen to be securely attached to the wall, preventing tipping. Customers can order this kit by contacting customer service.
- Warranty Information: The product comes with a Sole and Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects for 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty applies only to the original user. In case of a manufacturing defect, the toy will be replaced or the purchase price refunded, at the manufacturer's discretion. To activate the warranty, purchasers must preserve evidence of original purchase and carefully inspect the toy for any missing, degraded, broken, or hazardous parts before and after assembly. If any defects are observed, the toy should not be used, and the manufacturer should be notified immediately. Misuse, improper assembly, failure to honor warnings, lack of supervision, inspection, or maintenance, or damage (intentional or inadvertent) will invalidate the warranty.
- Customer Service: For warranty claims, replacement parts, or any questions regarding maintenance, customers can contact KidKraft Customer Service at 1-800-933-0771 or visit www.kidkraft.com.
- Important Information Regarding Craftsmanship: All wooden items are handcrafted, hand-assembled, and hand-painted, making each one unique. Slight imperfections may occur and are not considered manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage from permanent markers, non-water-based paints, crayons, or washable markers, as some items contain dyes that can damage the surface.
- Choking Hazard Warning: Unassembled parts, particularly small screws with sharp points, can be a choking hazard to children 3 years of age and younger. Adult assembly is required, and unassembled parts should be kept out of reach of small children.
