NOTE: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under the refrigerator at the front.

To remove any remaining glue:

l Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing detergent before removing glue as de- scribed above. Do not use sharp instru- ments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the material. See “Important Safety Instruc- tions” on page 3.
