Freezer Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under
warning symbols. Please pay special atten
tion to these symbols and follow any instruc
tions given. Here is a brief explanation of the
use of the warning symbol.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

AWARNING

This symbol alerts you to such
dangers as fire, electrical shock,
burns, and personal injury.

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 Asso
ciation of Home Appliance Manufactur
ers. Help prevent accidents.

injury when using your freezer, follow these

basic precautions:
