IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons

or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs

are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if

released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants

may also cause harm to the environment if

released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the refrigerant is removed for

proper disposal by a qualified technician. If

you intentionally release refrigerant, you may

be subject to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.
