Installing
Your

should
be
installed
in

also
be
placed

enough
to
support
its

will
weigh
substantially
more
when
fully
loaded
than
when
empty.
Before
you
plug
the
refrigerator
into
a
power
supply,
be
sure
to
let
it
stand
upright
for
at
least
24
hours

oils
to
settle.

other
injury.
Carefully
remove
the
packaging
materials.

any
shipping
tape
and
glue
from
your
