Safety first

Child entrapment, and suffocation, are notthingsofthe 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.
