Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
Suffocation
Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain
damage.

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.

unusable by cutting off the power cable.

inside and become trapped.

not easily climb inside.
