Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the

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".
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old refrigerator.

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
- Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

locks door height into position. (The door cannot
be adjusted without set screw removed).
