INSTALLING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator
before using (except the model and serial number
label).
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction
labels inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is
fastened to the base grille.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refriger-
ator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect
the floor.
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.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the
inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in the “Caring for Your Refrigerator” section.
