IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY MESSAGES

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

WARNING

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

CAUTION

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful when you open the doors when children are in the area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (Aburned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE Setting: either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen, causing damage.

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

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.

Read all instructions before using this appliance. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in

this use and care guide. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold

surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below 40°F (4°C).”

“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”

“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to

save as much of their quality as you can.”

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

CFC DISPOSAL

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 CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric Ozone.

This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), 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). For take back, please contact with the local agency

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

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.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

3 pins grounding plug

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a

the

qualified service If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

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.

make sure

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 9 amperes (minimum) and 230 volts.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 10 or 15 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.

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

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.
