Child Safety
Packing Materials:
• Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
plastic sheets, or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic bags,
and any other exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should
never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and Suffocation:
• These problems are not limited to the past. Whether
junked, abandoned, or temporarily stored (even for a
few hours), unattended refrigerators and freezers are
dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you recycle or dispose of your old refrigerator/
freezer:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves and baskets in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant and compressor oil removed by a
qualified service technician.
Your door handles may be different from
those shown in the images throughout
this guide.
