RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days.”

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 may not easily
climb inside.
IMPORTANT:
Now that you have a new refrigerator, it is extremely important
that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes
the possibility that children will find it. There have been many
cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and
abandoned refrigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated.
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out the
best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.

shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
Spillproof Shelves
Your refrigerator's spillproof shelves are
constructed of polypropylene molded
around the glass and metal rail. This
design means that the shelves are
completely enclosed and liquids can't
seep under the glass. This localizes spills
