REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous...
even if they will sit for "just a few days." If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
All refrigeration products contain
refrigerants, which under federal law must
be removed prior to product disposal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas:
clearances between the door and between the
door and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful
closing the door when children are in the area.
• Unplug your fresh-food refrigerator before
cleaning or making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the
fresh-food refrigerator should be turned OFF or
unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced.)
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling
the disposal about what to do.
