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.
