How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape

parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
