Proper Disposal of Your Old
Freezer or Refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or
refrigerators 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 these instructions to help prevent
accidents.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
Unpacking
Remove Packaging Materials
■
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the freezer. 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 freezer. For more
information, see “Safety.”
INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of freezer in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard
or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Freezer or Refrigerator:
■
Take off the doors or lid.
■
Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily
climb inside.
