Safety first
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not things of the past. Junked or aban
doned freezers are still dangerous, even if
they will "just sit in the garage 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 Manufacturers. Help pre
