Before Using Your
Refrigerator
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 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 tape or
iabei glue:
• Rub briskly with thumb.
OR
• Apply liquid hand-dishwashing detergent to
area 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 Instruc­
tions” on page 3.
NOTE; Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator.

under the refrigerator at the front.
Cleaning it before use

your refrigerator before using
it, if necessary. See cleaning
instructions on pages 28 and 29.
Installing it properly

2
inch (1.25 cm) space on each
side and at the top of the refrigerator for
ease of installation.

be against a wall, you might want to
leave extra space so the door can be
opened wider.

back wall.
