Most importantly, when positioning the unit next to a wall or cabinet, you must leave a 175mm gap on the hinged side to allow the door to open fully. To clean the interior, use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring the appliance is unplugged first. The glass shelves can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the interior surfaces or the glossy metallic exterior.
