CFC DISPOSAL

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

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 at right to help prevent accidents.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.

Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are
finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or
Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord.

WARNING

POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, by our service center or by
qualified personal by LG Electronics, to avoid some
risk.

However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL-listed (in the United States) or ACNOR (Canada),
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
