5. Operating Instructions

Sliding Door Operation:

The greenhouse features a smooth-gliding sliding door. To open, gently push the door along its track. To close, pull it back until it is fully shut. Ensure no obstructions are in the door's path to prevent damage or injury.

Ventilation Window Operation:
