Remove the Packaging
•
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before
turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and
dry.
NOTE: Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see
“Refrigerator Safety.”
•
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
•
If the refrigerator has been in a horizontal
or tilted position for any period of time wait 4 hours before
plugging it in to allow the oil to settle into the compressor.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover
the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor
damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when
trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the
inside of the refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
Important information to know about glass
shelves and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Shelves
and covers may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and
covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing
them to avoid dropping.
