PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD
FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators 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 these instructions to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:
Take off the doors or lid.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.

Unpacking

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can
damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see
"Safety."
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard
or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the
freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER

Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of freezer in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Caring for Your
Freezer."
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.

Location Requirements

WARNING
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an
area where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your
freezer in a location where the temperature will not fall below this
recommended temperature.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides of the
freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. If
the freezer is to be next to a fixed wall, leave extra space on the hinge
side so the door can open wider.
