Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)
General Information
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked 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.
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.
Your refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard all packaging and tape. DO NOT remove the model/serial number label.
Remove the Packaging
•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 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 refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”
•Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When moving your refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. DO NOT wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using
it. See the cleaning instructions in “Use and Care Guide.”
