It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it,

connect it to a power source, install it and level it.

Cleaning it

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and any inside labels (except

the model and serial number label) before

using the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining glue:

l Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then

remove.

l Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing

detergent before removing glue as

described above. Do not use sharp

instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

fluids or abrasive cleaners. These can

damage the material. See “Important

Safety Instructions” on page 3.

NOTE:

the hinge side closest to the wall so the

door can be opened wider.
