Warning: Risk of Child £ntrepmQnt
Never allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside a
freezer or refrigerator.
If you are storing
a refrigerator
or freezer:
1. Block the door open:
Glue thick wooden blocks
to the door so it can't close. Be sure to use strong
glue and place the blocks high, out of children's reach.
Leave only enough room to allow ventilation to keep
appliance from collecting mildew.
2. Band, tape or secure the door shut:
Use strong tape and wrap it all the
way around the appliance several times or pass a heavy duty chain
around the appliance and through the handle(s) and then padlock it
ensuring it cannot slide loose.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator
or freezer:
1. Take off the lid or door:
The hinge of chest type freezers are under spring tension.
Instructions for removal of the hinges are found on the back of the freezer.
2. Cut off any electrical
wires:
Ordinary household tools are all you need.
3. Leave the shelves
in place: so that children my not easily climb inside.
Talk to your children about the dangers
of playing around or inside any
container
that might shut them in.
WHY all these
precautions?
Each year children
die because
they climb inside an old refrigerator
or freezer,
the door closes and they are trapped
inside and suffocate..,
usually in less
than 10 minutes!
Please take a few minutes
and prevent such a needless
tragedy.
If you are selling your old appliance or giving it away, put this manual inside
so the new owners will know what to do when they discard or store the unit.

Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers
and can quickly cause suffocation.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all panels before operating.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Use two or more people to move and install appliance.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable items in the area of this or any appliance, as the fumes
can create a fire hazard or explosion.
