DANGER

Proper Disposal of Your Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators
are still dangerous—even if they will sit for "just a few
days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.

Space Requirements

!
WARNING
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire, or burns.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow a
1" (2.5 cm) space at the top of your refrigerator.
• If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you allow
extra space at the back for the water line connection. The
refrigerator can be flush with the back wall if you do not
have an ice maker installed.
• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 2½" (6.5 cm) minimum on each side (depending on
your model) to allow the door to swing open 90°.
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator,
or other heat source, nor in a location where the
temperature will fall below 55°F (13° C).
