PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still

dangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are

getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these

instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:

Take off the doors or lid.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb

inside.

Unpacking

Remove Packaging Materials

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the

freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive

with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or

abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can

damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see

“Safety.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions:

WARNING:

from freezer.

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or

refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of

refrigerants:

Dispose of freezer in accordance with Federal and Local

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with

established procedures.

INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

When Moving Your Freezer:

Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard
or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
