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 the 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.
