Setup, Compatibility & Care

The cut-out piece from the wall is intended to be inserted into the flap frame as filling, providing a seamless finish.

Care:
To maintain the service door's appearance and function:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic or finish.
- Seals: Periodically check the rubber seals for dirt or debris. Clean them gently with a damp cloth to ensure a proper seal. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
- Locks: Ensure the push-button locks operate smoothly. Clean any dust or grit from the lock mechanisms. Avoid forcing the locks.
- Hinges: Although designed to be flush, ensure the hinge areas (top or bottom) remain free from obstructions.
