appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding 

plug for your protection against electrical shock 

hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly 

grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle 

must be installed in accordance with local codes 

and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.

Proper Disposal of your refrigerator or 

Freezer

risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the 

past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are 

still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. 

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, 

please follow the instructions below to help prevent 

accidents. 

Proper Disposal of refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/

disposal methods.  Check with your utility company or 

visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information 

on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away 

your old refrigerator/

freezer:

  •  Remove doors.
  •  Leave shelves in place 

so children may not 

easily climb inside.

  •  Have refrigerant 

removed by a qualified 

service technician.

Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. 

Do not use an 

extension cord or adapter plug.

  •  If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced 

by an authorized service technician to prevent any 

risk.

  •  Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the 

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and 

pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent 

damaging the power cord.

  •  Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before 

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

  •  Performance may be affected if the voltage varies 

by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with 

insufficient power can damage the compressor. 

Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

  •  Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet 

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent 

the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
