IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY MESSAGES

This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the word “DANGER”, “CAUTION” or “WARNING”. These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.

You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or damage to the product.

All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what can occur if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fre, electrical shock or personal injury, the following precaution measures should be followed:

•NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the power cord, always grip the plug frmly and disconnect it directly from the outlet.

•Immediately repair or replace all faulty or damaged service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the plug.

•When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll over the electrical cord.

•DO NOT store, use on it or in proximity, explosive and/ or fammable propellant substances such as; gasoline, aerosol cans or other combustible liquids or vapors in this or any other electrical appliance.

•DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause serious injury to them and damage to the product.

•Keep your fngers away from areas in which they can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children are near.

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair services be performed by a qualifed professional.

•Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF position does not disconnect the power from the light bulb circuit.

•Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they

could explode after freezing and cause damage.

•For your safety, this product should be properly grounded. Have a qualifed professional check the electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground connection.

•Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.

•Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the skin could become adhered to these surfaces.

•In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the heating mechanism that discharges the cubes. DO NOT place your fngers or hands in the ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is connected.

•DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed. The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes that:

“...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.

“...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be frozen or consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to consume”.

“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals. The quality of red meat is less affected than other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to maintain their quality”.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced sensory or mental capacity, or persons with lack of 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.

DANGER: CHILDREN MAY BECOME TRAPPED

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.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that uses CFC’s (chlorofuorocarbons). 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 qualifed professional. If you intentionally remove the CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fnes or prison in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION

IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current should be 115 V~ 60 Hz, 127 V~ 60 Hz or 220 V~ 50/60 Hz (according to the national rating type) with a 15 A fuse for voltages between 115 and 127 V or 10 A to 220 V independent voltage protection system from the main supply of your home. (The electrical installation must be verifed by a qualifed technician.).

This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a fre from the overheating of the cords. 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 cord.

It is your responsibility and obligation to replace twoprong outlets with that of an adequately grounded threeprong 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 fnished, plug the appliance back in and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

USE OF EXTENSION CORD

We do not recommend the use of extension cord.

However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports threepronged plugs and that the electrical current support with a 15 A fuse for voltages between 115 and 127 V or 10 A to 220 V. (Verify the electric specifcation of your country.).

The use of an extension cord will increase the amount of space needed behind the refrigerator.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CORD

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by our service center or qualifed LG technician to avoid any risk.

WARNING

DO NOT USE MECHANICAL DEVICES

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, only those recommended by the manufacturer.
