Protect Children

Children may suffocate if they crawl into a freezer to hide
or play.
Remove the lid of a freezer not in use, even if you plan to
discard the freezer. Many communities have laws
requiring you to take this safety precaution.
Destroy the carton and any plastic bags after the freezer
is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts to people or destroy finishes.
The Key Eject Lock (Some Models)
If your freezer is equipped with a lock, it can help reduce
the hazard of child entrapment.
NOTE: Be sure to keep your key in a safe location out of
the reach of children.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the
lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded so the key
cannot be left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your nearest Sears outlet for a
replacement. Always give the complete model and serial
number of your freezer when requesting a replacement
key.
