[00:35] which is the shape of the kitchen and its appliances, with a sense of harmony. Of course, it also involves adjusting the dimensions of all appliances according to manufacturing requirements. For example, an appliance might malfunction or its efficiency might decrease due to a design flaw or poor calculations before implementation. Take the refrigerator, for instance. After we've created a
[00:48] design, we might find that it doesn't fit in its place, or the refrigerator door doesn't open fully, or there's friction between the door and the wall when opening it, or it overheats due to poor ventilation, and consequently, it might malfunction. The space in front of it might not be enough to open the door in narrow kitchens, and to clean it or
[01:01] connect and disconnect the electricity, we have to remove it from its place to disconnect the household. We can apply this to all appliances, such as washing machines, stoves, built-in ovens, microwaves, sinks, and other appliances. The design determines the dimensions of the units and their integration with the appliances; more precisely, it's a triangle. Movement or working
