WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

– even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
When scrapping the refrigerator, make it unusable by cutting
off the power cable.
Take off the doors so that children cannot climb inside and
become trapped.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
