2. PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
DANGER -
CHILD SAFETY
•
CHILD ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your old appliance, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
•
Remove doors;
•
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside;
•
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
•
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these
items to play. They can cause suffocation and death.
•
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.
•
Never allow children to play with the refrigerator.

•
The power cord to this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
•
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not use an adapter plug.
