Safety: No electrical work required.

• Initial cleaning: Before first use, wipe all interior surfaces with a mild solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Air out: Leave the door open for several hours or overnight to allow odors to dissipate.
• Remove packaging: Ensure all plastic films, foam blocks, and tape have been removed from the shelves and interior.
• Charcoal odor absorber: Place an open container of baking soda or a fridge deodorizer inside for a few days.
