Child Safety
Packing Materials:
•  Packing cartons covered with rugs, 
bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch 
wrap may become airtight chambers and 
can quickly cause suffocation.
•  Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, 
plastic bags, and any other exterior 
wrapping material immediately after the 
refrigerator is unpacked. Children should 
never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and Suffocation:
•  These problems are not limited to the past. 
Whether junked, abandoned, or temporarily 
stored (even for a few hours), unattended 
refrigerators and freezers are dangerous. 
Please take the precautions listed below.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance 
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility 
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for 
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you recycle or dispose of your old 
refrigerator/freezer:
•  Remove the doors.
•  Leave the shelves and baskets in place 
so children may not easily climb inside.
•  Have refrigerant and compressor oil 
removed by a qualified service technician.
