Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the
refrigerator 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.
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or
Freezer

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".

please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
