IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/products/recycle for more
information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant re-
moved by a qualified
service technician.
