To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when
using your refrigerator, follow these basic
precautions:
l Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
l Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous even if they will “just sit in the
garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.

then remove.
OR
l Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing
detergent before removing glue as de-scribed above. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or
