3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. If damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact your retailer immediately.

The door handle may require attachment upon delivery. Carefully align the handle with the pre-drilled holes on the door. Secure it using the provided screws. Note that this may involve temporarily adjusting the rubber seal around the door for access.
