IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
l
l
Read all operating instructions before using your freezer.
Child entrapment and suffocations are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “justsit in the garage for a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old freezer, do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
lNever allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the freezer.
lNever clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
l FOR YOUR SAFETY l
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
