Don't worry about pushing in the clear plastic piece at the bottom of your
fridge. There is a sight glass between the piece and the burner so there is
no chance on burning anything. I did the same thing when I got mine. If you
are a new owner you may want to consider pulling the fridge to clean behind
it. It is not too hard and you can push the plastic piece back into place.
It's good to clean the cooling fins every few years. If you do this, you may
want to consider replacing the cheap cooling fan with a PC type brushless
fan. It will cool better and won't make as much noise. Check the list
archives for more detailed discussion on these fridges.

Hope this helps.
