• If the appliance is equipped with a lock (some models only), keep the key out of reach of children.
Installation
• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people holding the appliance securely.
• Ensure that the socket outlet is properly grounded, and that the earth pin on the power cord is not damaged or removed from the power plug. For more details on grounding, inquire at an LG Electronics customer information centre.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is loose, do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service centre.
• Do not plug the appliance into a multi socket adapter which does not have a power cable (mounted).
• Do not modify or extend the power cable.
• The appliance should be connected to a dedicated power line which is separately fused.
• Do not use a multi socket outlet which is not properly grounded (portable). In case of using a properly-grounded multi socket outlet (portable), use the multi socket outlet with the current capacity of the power code rating or higher and use the multi socket outlet only for the appliance.
• Install the appliance in a place where is easy to unplug the power plug of the appliance.
• Be careful not to point the power plug up or let the appliance lean against the power plug.
4
• Install the appliance on a firm and level floor.
• Do not install the appliance in a damp and dusty place. Do not install or store the appliance in any outdoor area, or any area that is subject to weathering conditions such as direct sunlight, wind, rain, or temperatures below freezing.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or expose it to the heat from heating appliances such as stoves or heaters.
• Be careful not to expose the rear of the appliance when installing.
• Be careful not to let the appliance door fall during assembly or disassembly.
• Be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cable during assembly or disassembly of the appliance door.
• Do not connect a plug adapter or other accessories to the power plug.
Operation
• Do not use the appliance for any purpose (storage of medical or experimental materials or shipping) other than any domestic household food storage use.
