When you open and close the door, the switch should detect the movement properly. As for maintenance, keep the switch clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it occasionally. If you notice any issues like the switch not working or strange noises, don't try to repair it yourself. Contact a professional technician. And remember, this switch comes with a guarantee, so if it fails within the guaranteed period, you can get a replacement or a refund.
