They could damage the

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below
to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily
climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a
cooling system that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric
ozone.

If you are throwing away your
old refrigerator, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant you
can be subject to fines and
imprisonment under provisions
of environmental legislation.
