Can the trim be cleaned with standard household cleaners?
▾
The 9414-33 glass surface can be maintained with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as they can scratch the coating. Regular cleaning keeps the trim looking clear and ensures optimal light transmission.
