Safety first
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned freezers are still dan
gerous...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 Manu
facturers. Help prevent accidents.
