WARNING
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove tape and any temporary labels from the
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning-
type labels, the model and serial number label, or the
tech sheet that is attached to the back wall of the
refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily
removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and
dry.

fluids, or abrasive cleansers to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of the refrigerator. For

tion.
