Proper Disposal of Your Appliance
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves
in place so
children may
not easily
climb inside.
• Have
refrigerant
removed by
a qualified
service technician.
• Remove and discard any spacers used
to secure the shelves during shipping.
Small objects are a choke hazard to
children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the plastic bags,
and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the unit is unpacked.
Children should NEVER use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers, and can
quickly cause suffocation.
