below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.

energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling an old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your
old appliance:
• Remove lid.
• Have the refrigerant
removed by a
qualified service
technician.
