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
vent accidents.
