Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the money box, simply place it on a level surface. No assembly is required. When you are ready to access your savings, gently pull the secure rubber bung from the base. When re-inserting the bung, ensure it is pushed in firmly to prevent accidental slipping. To keep the blue finish looking pristine, dust occasionally with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these may strip the paint or cause unsightly scratches on the wood or the transparent porthole window.
