Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT:

 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 these instructions to help 

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

 

Take off the doors.

 

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily 

climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Remove the Packaging

 

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning 

on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap 

over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water 

and dry.

 

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 

fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These 

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For 

more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

 

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside 

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in 

“Refrigerator Care.”

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator. 
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of 

refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local 

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, 

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with 

established procedures.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install 

refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for 
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with 
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull 
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or 
“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor 
damage could occur.

Important information to know about glass shelves 
and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when 
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. 
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, 
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers 
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid 
dropping.
