Proper Disposal of

Your 

Refrigerator/Freezer

 

Risk 

of 

child 

entrapment.

Child 

entrapment 

and 

suffocation 

are 

not

problems of the past.  Junked or

abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous 

even 

if 

they 

will 

sit 

for 

"just 

a

few 

days." 

 

If 

you 

are 

getting 

rid 

of 

your

old 

refrigerator, 

please 

follow 

instructions

below 

to 

help 

prevent 

accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD

REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:

Important Safety
Instructions

For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this, or any other appliance.  

Read 

product 

labels 

for 

flammability 

and 

other 

warnings.

• Destroy 

carton, 

plastic 

bags, 

and 

any 

exterior 

wrapping 

material 

immediately

after 

the 

refrigerator 

is 

unpacked. 

Children 

should 

never 

use 

these 

items 

for 

play.

Cartons 

covered 

with 

rugs, 

bedspreads, 

plastic 

sheets, 

or 

stretch 

wrap 

may

become 

airtight 

chambers 

that 

can 

quickly 

cause 

suffocation.

• Remove 

all 

staples 

from 

the 

carton. 

Staples 

can 

cause 

severe 

cuts, 

and 

ruin

finishes 

if 

they 

come 

in 

contact 

with 

other 

appliances 

or 

furniture.

• An 

empty, 

discarded 

ice 

box, 

refrigerator, 

or 

freezer 

is 

very 

dangerous

attraction to children.  Remove door of any appliance that is not in use,
even 

if 

it 

is 

being 

discarded.

• Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only

electrical 

outlet. 

The 

power 

cord 

of 

the 

appliance 

is 

equipped 

with 

three-

prong 

grounding 

plug, 

for 

your 

protection 

against 

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.  DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN

ADAPTER PLUG.

• If 

voltage 

varies 

by 

10 

percent 

 

or 

more, 

performance 

of 

your 

refrigerator 

may

be 

affected. 

Operating 

the 

refrigerator 

with 

insufficient 

power 

can 

damage 

the

compressor. 

Such 

damage 

is 

not 

covered 

under 

your 

warranty. 

If 

you 

suspect

your 

voltage 

is 

high 

or 

low, 

consult 

your 

power 

company 

for 

testing.

• To 

prevent 

the 

refrigerator 

from 

being 

turned 

off 

accidentally, 

do 

not 

plug 

the

unit 

into 

an 

outlet 

controlled 

by 

wall 

switch 

or 

pull 

cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
