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.
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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 “Freezer Safety.”
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Freezer Care.”
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 40°F (5°C).
Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions:
WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Do not remove ground prong.
■ Do not use an adapter.
■ Do not use an extension cord.

■ Use nonflammable cleaner.
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from freezer.
■ Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
■ Keep key away from children.
■ Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or refrigerator.

kit ready models only).
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
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.
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. 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
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
