Important Safety Instructions

Warning: Risk of Child Entrapment

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside a freezer or refrigerator.

If you are storing a refrigerator or freezer:

1.Block the door open: Glue thick wooden blocks to the door so it can't close. Be sure to use strong

glue and place the blocks high, out of children's reach. Leave only enough room to allow ventilation to keep appliance from collecting mildew.

2.Band, tape or secure the door shut: Use strong tape and wrap it all the way around the appliance several times or pass a heavy duty chain around the appliance and through the handle(s) and then padlock it ensuring it cannot slide loose.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

1. Take off the lid or door: The hinge of chest type freezers are under

spring tension. Instructions for removal of the hinges are found on the back of the freezer.

2.Cut off any electrical wires: Ordinary household tools are all you need.

3.Leave the shelves in place: so that children my not easily climb inside.

Talk to your children about the dangers of playing around or inside any container that might shut them in.

WHY all these precautions?

Each year children die because they climb inside an old refrigerator or freezer, the door closes and they are trapped inside and suffocate . . . usually in less

than 10 minutes! Please take a few minutes and prevent such a needless tragedy.

If you are selling your old appliance or giving it away, put this manual inside so the new owners will know what to do when they discard or store the unit.

•Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

•Extreme caution should be used when removing the lid of the freezer. The hinge of chest type freezers are under spring tension! Before attempting to remove hinges, see instruction label on the back of the cabinet.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable items in the area of this or any appliance, as the fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

•This freezer is designed for free-standing installation only; it should not be recessed or built-in.
