Proper Disposal of YourOld Refrigerator

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
prevent 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.

If you plan to install a custom overlay panel, you will need to
create the panel yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See dimension drawings for panel specifications.
IMPORTANT:
■The thickness of the wood overlay must be ³⁄₄" (1.91cm).
■Overlay panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs. (9.07 kg).

■Before creating the custom overlay penal, determine the

panels are hinge specific. A panel that is created for a
right-hinge door swing cannot be used for a left-hinge
door swing. See "Overlay Panel-Rear View."
