• 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.

• 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.
