••Unplug the power plug during a severe thunderstorm or lightening or when not in use for a long period of time.

••Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet hands.

••Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.

••If water penetrates electrical parts of the appliance, disconnect power plug and contact an LG Electronics customer information centre.

••Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an explosion.

••If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the

amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
