Installation
1. Déballage
Remove all packaging materials and protective films from the suitcase. Inspect the suitcase for any signs of damage incurred during shipping. If damage is found, contact your retailer immediately.
2. Réglage du cadenas à combinaison
Your Samsonite suitcase is equipped with an integrated TSA-approved combination lock. The initial combination is set to 0-0-0.
- Open the lock by sliding the release button (if applicable) or by ensuring the dials are set to 0-0-0.
- Locate the small reset button (often recessed and requires a pen or pointed object to press). Press and hold this button.
- Tout en maintenant le bouton de réinitialisation enfoncé, définissez la combinaison à 3 chiffres souhaitée en tournant les molettes.
- Relâchez le bouton de réinitialisation. Votre nouvelle combinaison est maintenant définie.
- Testez votre nouvelle combinaison en brouillant les molettes, puis en saisissant votre nouveau code pour ouvrir la serrure.

Important: Remember your combination. Samsonite does not retain personal combinations. If you forget your combination, you may need to try all 1000 possible combinations or contact a locksmith.
3. Adjusting the Telescopic Handle
La valise est dotée d'un système multi-stage telescopic handle for comfortable maneuvering. Press the button located on the top of the handle to extend or retract it to your preferred height. Ensure the handle is fully extended or retracted before moving the suitcase.
Mode d'emploi

2. Using the Spinner Wheels
Your suitcase is equipped with four spinner wheels, allowing for 360-degree rotation and effortless gliding in any direction. For best results, push the suitcase alongside you rather than tilting and pulling it on two wheels, especially on smooth surfaces.

3. Expanding the Suitcase
The 'Exp' in the model name indicates that your suitcase features an expansion zipper. Unzip the secondary zipper located around the perimeter of the suitcase to increase its packing capacity. This is useful for accommodating extra items or souvenirs.

Entretien
1. Nettoyage de l'extérieur
Wipe the exterior of the suitcase with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. For stubborn marks, a specialized luggage cleaner may be used according to its instructions.
2. Entretien des roues
Periodically check the wheels for debris such as hair or lint. Remove any obstructions to ensure smooth rolling. If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle, avoiding contact with the wheel surface.
3. Entretien des fermetures éclair
Keep zippers clean and free of dirt. If zippers become difficult to operate, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth. Avoid forcing stuck zippers, as this can cause damage.
4. Stockage
Store your suitcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the suitcase for extended periods to prevent deformation.
Dépannage
- La serrure ne s'ouvre pas : Ensure you are entering the correct 3-digit combination. If forgotten, refer to the 'Setting the Combination Lock' section for options.
- Stiff telescopic handle: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure the release button is fully depressed when extending or retracting.
- Les roues ne tournent pas en douceur : Inspect wheels for trapped debris (hair, lint) and remove. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of lubricant as described in the 'Maintenance' section.
- Problèmes de fermeture éclair : Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply zipper lubricant if the zipper is stiff.
