DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE FREEZER
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers 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
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
s
Take off the doors.
s
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior to
product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
