INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
Cleaning your Refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from
surfaces before turning the refriger-
ator on. Rub a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your
fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry
with a soft cloth.
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.
After you remove all of the package ma-
terials, clean the inside of your refriger-
ator before using it. See the CARE AND
CLEANING section in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Moving your Refrigerator
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
raise the anti-tip bracket (see “Setting
the Anti-tip Brackets”). Also be sure to
cover the floor with cardboard or hard-
board to avoid floor damage. Always
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
refrigerator when trying to move it as
you could damage the floor.
This Use & Care Manual provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the appliance only as instructed in this
Use & Care Manual. Before starting the
unit, follow these important first steps.
