INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 - UNPACK REFRIGERATOR

CAUTION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
REMOVE PACKAGING
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before
turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid
warm water and dry.
NOTE: Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
or glue. These products can damage the surface of your
refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator
Safety."
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
NOTE: It is normal for the freezer door to be slightly higher
installed. This is designed to ensure the gasket seals properly
once the freezer door is loaded with food.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle
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."
CAUTION
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.
