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.
