WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain
damage.
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 that children may not
easily climb inside.
