Safety first
Child entrapment, and suffocation, 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.
