IMpORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
FREEZER.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
CHILD SAFETY
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping 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.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or 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:
· Remove the door/lid. If your door has an electronic
control panel, have it removed by a qualified technician.
· Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
· Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.
