Freezer Safety
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under
warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the
use of the warning symbol.
This symbol alerts you to such dangers
as personal injury, burns, fire, and
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all operating instructions before
using your freezer.
‘Child entrapment and suffocations
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned freezers are still
dangerous, even if they will “just sit in
the garage for a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
freezer, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the
Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
l Never allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl inside the freezer.
l Never clean freezer parts with flam-
mable fluids. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
l FOR YOUR SAFETY l
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES
CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR
EXPLOSION.
