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.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools and Parts
TOOLS NEEDED:
Assemble the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
PARTS NEEDED:
Custom Overlay Door Panel—See “Overlay Panel Dimensions.”
Hardware (Optional)
PARTS SUPPLIED:
Custom Overlay Panel
If you plan to install a custom overlay panel, you will need to
create the panel yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See dimension drawings for panel specifications.
IMPORTANT:
■ The thickness of the wood overlay must be ³⁄₄" (1.91cm).
■ Overlay panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs. (9.07 kg).
■ Overlay panel weighing more than recommended may
cause damage to your refrigerator.
■ Before creating the custom overlay penal, determine the
direction you want the door to swing. Custom overlay
panels are hinge specific. A panel that is created for a
right-hinge door swing cannot be used for a left-hinge
door swing. See "Overlay Panel-Rear View."
