CHILD SAFETY
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exteriorwrapping
material immediately after the freezer is unpacked.
Children should never use these items to play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly
cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a
very dangerous attraction to children.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the
shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children. - -..
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded.

freezer, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.

OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
• Remove
doors.
• Leave shelves
in place so
children may
not easily
climb inside.
