PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD FREEZER
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove freezer lid prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to
death or brain damage.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers are still
dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If
you are getting rid of your old freezer, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer:
„
Take off the freezer lid.
„
Leave the baskets in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
IMPORTANT:
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. Failure to do so can result
in fire, explosion, or death.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.
The freezer should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always
grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end.
When moving the freezer away from the wall, be careful not to
roll over or damage the power cord.
