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.

Remove the Packaging
■
If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

■
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

■
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.”
