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.”

INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for

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.
