Checklist
Clean the refrigerator.
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated
during shipping.
CAUTION
• Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that
contains alcohol, a flammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any
tape or adhesive from the refrigerator. Remove adhesive residue by wiping
it off with your thumb or dish detergent.
• Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical
information on the rear surface of the refrigerator.
Open refrigerator doors and freezer drawers to ventilate the
interior.
The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any
adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator doors
and the freezer drawers for ventilation.
Connect the power supply.
Check if the power supply is connected before use.
Turn off the icemaker.
Turn off the icemaker if the refrigerator is not yet connected to the water
supply.
NOTE
• The icemaker water valve may buzz if the icemaker is turned on while the
refrigerator is not connected to the water supply.
Wait for the refrigerator to cool.
Allow the refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting
food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure
proper cooling.
CAUTION
• Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to
spoil, or a bad odor to remain inside the refrigerator.
The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.
This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature decreases.
