Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerator
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Scrapped 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 avoid accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
■ ■ Take off the doors.
■ ■ Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb
inside.
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
refrigerant technician in accordance with established
procedures.
