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

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Refrigerator Care.”
