Proper Disposal of Your Old 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.

leave 2¹⁄₂ (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models 
require more) to allow for the door to swing open.
