allow adequate airflow on all sides.
• Use two or more people to move and install the chest freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.

Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers
are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
• Before you throw away your old freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place
so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the freezer.
