How long should I wait before putting food in my new refrigerator after installation?
You should wait 24 hours before putting food into the refrigerator after installation. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Additionally, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water, and allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
