Safety first

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers are still dangerous... 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 Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
