Child Safety
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use
these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly
cause suffocation.
A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play.
Remove the door of a freezer when not in use, even if you plan to
discard the freezer.
Many communities have laws requiring you to take
this safety precaution.
Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during
shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.
