PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR

the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous - even if they
will sit for"just a few days." If

refrigerator or freezer, please

follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigeratorlfreezer:

• Remove doors.

climb inside.

technician.

with current edition of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult

or adaptor plug.

• if voltage varies by 10% or mere, freezer
