Setup

Unpacking:

• Remove all packaging materials, including the foam base and any adhesive tape.
• Inspect the appliance for any damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
• Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
