r':,w.._;_,,ln,,[_CHILD SAFETY

*Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch

wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

*Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children.

Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the

shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

-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:

*Remove the door/lid.

,,Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
