together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Refrigerator Delivery
A minimum door opening of 33" (838 mm) is required. If door
opening is 36" (914 mm) or less, then removal of doors,
drawer, and hinges is required.
Cart the refrigerator from the side for all door openings.
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on
the refrigerator. Rub 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 “Refrigerator Safety.”
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or
hardboard 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 floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Refrigerator Care.”
Important information to know about glass shelves and
covers:
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
