Important Safety Instructions

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.

Installation

•Ground the product for safety. For more details on grounding, inquire at an LG

Electronics service centre. Improper grounding of the product can cause product failure or electric shock due to short circuit.

Power

•This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

•Use only grounded extension socket outlets. Using an ungrounded extension socket outlet can cause electric shock or injury.

•Do not plug multiple products into multiple socket-outlets or extension cords. This can cause a fire.

•Be careful not to point the power plug up or let the product lean against the plug. This may allow moisture into the power plug or damage the power plug causing the electric shock or fire.

•Remove the power plug when you clean the product or replace the inside lamp. Not removing the plug can cause electric shock or injury.

•Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. It can cause the electric shock or injury.

•Plug the power in the outlet tightly after removing the moisture and dust

completely. Improper contact can cause the electric shock or fire.

•When pulling out the power plug from an outlet, hold the power plug, not the cable. Damage of the cable can cause the electric shock or injury.

•If the power cable or power plug is damaged or the hole of the outlet socket is loose, do not use the power plug and contact LG Electronics service centre. Improper contact can cause electric shock or fire.

•Unplug the power plug during thunder or lightening or when not in use for a long period of time. Storms can cause electric shock or fire.

•Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on top of it. Damage of the power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

•Do not extend the length of the power cable or alter it. Electrical damage of the power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

Operation

•In case of flood, stop using the product and contact the LG Electronics service centre. Contact with water can cause electric shock or fire.

•If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.), do not touch the product or power plug and ventilate the area immediately. Sparks can cause explosion, fire or injury. This product uses a very eco-friendly gas (isobutane, R600a) as the refrigerant. Although

it uses a small amount of the gas, it is still combustible gas. Gas leakage

during product transport, installation or operation can cause fire, explosion or injury if sparks are caused.

•Do not spray the water inside or outside the product to clean it. Water can damage the insulation to cause electric shock or fire.

•Do not clean the product with brushes, cloths or sponges with rough surfaces or which are made of metallic material. This can damage the insulation and cause electric shock or fire.

•Immediately unplug the power plug and contact an LG Electronics service centre if you detect any abnormal noise, odour or smoke. This may indicate fire danger.
