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.
