Safety first

Child entrapment, and suffacation, are not things of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will "just sit in the garage for a few days."

If you are getting rid of your old

refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the

enclosed safety booklet from the Associa tion of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
