Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Aztec Family Chest is a self-contained mechanical puzzle, it requires no setup or batteries. To keep the chest in pristine condition, handle the pieces with clean, dry hands to protect the laser-engraved finish. If the mechanism feels stiff, avoid using force; instead, gently verify that the puzzle pieces are correctly aligned. For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe down the surface. Avoid liquid cleaners or submerging the chest in water, as moisture can affect the wood-like materials and potentially cause the moving parts to stick or warp over time.
