Removing Styrofoam from under American fridge freezer

Hi, we got a new American fridge freezer today. It's our first one so I didn't appreciate the effort required in unpacking /installing so didn't select a service by retailer.
I have removed most of the packaging and it has roller but there is a 2 inch thick Styrofoam at bottom and I cant figure out how to remove it without having to get 2 more people to help.. It weighs over 100kg.. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Yes, tilt it back and break the styrofoam off as far back as you can, then tilt it forward to remove the remainder. It's a two person job, maybe even three to be safe.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
