This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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.

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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that

used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed

to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away

your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is

removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If

you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can

be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions

of environmental legislation. This appliance contains

fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and

materials which are reusable and / or recyclable.

All the important materials should be sent to the

collection center of waste material and can be reused

after rework (recycling). To recycle, please contact

your local agency.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of

an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a

UL-listed (in the United States), 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 V.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

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

our service center of qualified LG technician to avoid

any risk.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 V ~ 60 Hz 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.

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 or

cleaning 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.
