Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerator
DANGER : Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away
your old refrigerator or freezer:
■
Take off the doors.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb
inside.
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Scrapped 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 avoid accidents.
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.
