Unpacking
Removing packaging materials
Using a T16 torque wrench, remove skids from the bottom
of the refrigerator and properly discard the attachment bolts.
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.
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 the Refrigerator Safety section.
Dispose of all packaging materials properly.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in the Refrigerator Care section.
