Safety first
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned freezers are still dan­
gerous...even if they will "just sit in
the garage for a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
freezer, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the
Association of Home Appliance Manu­
facturers. Help prevent accidents.
