Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
• Read all operating instructions before
using your freezer.
• Child entrapment and suffocations are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned freezers are still dangerous, 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 Manufacturers. Help
prevent accidents.
