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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 “Freezer Safety.”
