IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced

sensory or mental capacity, or persons that lack experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction

in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to

assure that they do not play with the appliance.

Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not

a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned

refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there

“for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of

your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

below to prevent any accidents.

BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER WHEN NO LONGER IN USE:

• Remove the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children

cannot easily become stuck in them.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that

uses CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC affects the

stratospheric layer of the ozone.

If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, ensure

that CFC contaminants are properly disposed of by a

qualified professional. If you intentionally remove the

CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fines or prison

in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.

IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must

be properly grounded. Have a qualified electrician

check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is

grounded properly.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own

outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current

should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A.C. and fused at 15 or 20

A. This provides the best performance and prevents an

overload which could cause a fire from the overheating

of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit

be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that

cannot be disconnected with a switch.

Do not use an extension cable.

It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-

prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-

prong outlet.

Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third

prong from the plug.

NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light

bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the

power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in

and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

USE OF EXTENSION CABLES

We do not recommend the use of extension cables.

However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable,

it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in

the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports

three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current

support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.

The use of an extension cable will increase the amount

of space needed behind the refrigerator.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

our service center or qualified LG technician to avoid

any risk.
