Safety Information
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 the instructions below 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.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this
CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and
imprisonment under provisions of the Federal Clean
Air Act.
