3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.

Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the appliance.
