Important safety instructions
General Safety
• Do not store or use gasoline, or other
flammable liquids, near this or any other
appliance. Read product labels for warnings
regarding flammability and other hazards.
• Do not operate the freezer in the presence of
explosive fumes.
Child Safety
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the
freezer is unpacked. Children should never
use these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers and can
quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples
can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if
they come in contact with other appliances or
furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator
or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to
children.
• Remove or discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is
not in use, even if it is being discarded.
WARNING
Please read all safety instructions before
using your new freezer.
Proper Disposal Of Refrigerators/Freezers
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or
freezers 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 the instructions
below to help prevent accidents:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may
not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified
service technician.
