Cleaning your refrigerator

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and any inside labels (except the model and serial number label) before using the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining glue:

l Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then remove.

OR

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.
