Cleaning your refrigerator
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:
• Rub briskly with your thumb to make a ball,
then remove.
OR
• Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing
detergent before removing glue as de­
scribed above. Do not use sharp instru­
ments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or
abrasive cleaners. These can damage the
material. See “Important Safety Instruc­
tions” on page 3.
NOTE: Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do
not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under
the refrigerator at the front.
Cleaning it before use
After removing all packaging materials,
clean your refrigerator before using it, if
necessary. See cleaning instructions on
pages 17 and 18.
