PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR BEVERAGE CENTER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers 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 the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:
•Remove doors.
•Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
•Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Air Flow and Temperature Controls to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents your Beverage Center from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your Beverage Center you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
