PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR WARNING Suffocation Hazard Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still dangerous ... even if they will sit for "just a few days." BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR REMOVE THE DOORS OR LID. Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants: Dispose of freezer in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures. INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER Unpacking Location Requirements WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. WARNING Remove Packaging Materials ■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. ■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see the front cover for safety instructions. When Moving Your Freezer: Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur. Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Ventilation and Clearance ■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. ■ Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation. ■ Allow at least a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid. Clean Before Using After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Caring for Your Freezer." 2" (5 cm) ➧ 3" (7.5 cm) Temperature Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and 110°F (43°C).
