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:

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.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

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.

To reduce the risk offire, electric shock, or injury
to personswhen usingyour product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

• NEVER unplugyour refrigerator by pullingon the power cord.
Always grip the plugfirmly and pull it straightout from the

outlet.

• Repairor replace immediately all electric service cords that

havebecome frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord

that shows cracks or abrasion damage along itslength or at

eitherthe plug or connector end.

•When moving your refrigeratoraway from the watt,

be careful notto roll over or damage the powercord.

• DO NOTstore or use gasoline orother flammable vapors and

liquids inthe vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DO NOTallow children to climb, standor hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injurethemselves.

• Keep fingers out of "pinchpoint" areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinetare necessarily small. Be careful
when you open the doors when children are in the area.

• Unplugyour refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE:We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

• Beforereplacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
in order to avoid contact witha live wirefilament. (Aburned-

out light bulb may breakwhen being replaced.) NOTE: Setting

eitheror both controls to the OFF position doesnot remove
powerto the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in thefreezer compartment - they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

• For personal safety,this appliance must beproperly grounded.
Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked bya qualified
electrician to make surethe outlet is properly grounded.

• Readall instructions before using this appliance.

• Use thisappliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this useand 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 adhereto the extremely cold surfaces.

• In refrigeratorswith 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

handson the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreezefrozen foods which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...Youmay safely refreezefrozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or ifthey are still cold below
40 °F (4 °C)."

"...Thawed ground meats, poultry,or fish thathave any off-odor
or off-color should not be refrozenand should notbe eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of
any food is poor orquestionable, get rid of it.The food may be

dangerous to eat."
"Even partial thawing and refreezing reducesthe eatingquality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods.
The eating quality of red meats isaffected less than that of

many other foods. Use refrozen foodsas soon as possible to

save as much of their quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

7

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC's are believed to harm

stratospheric ozone.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

3-prong
grounding type

wall receptacle _ _f_-_

3-prong
grounding

plug

Ensure proper
ground exists

before use.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or20 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.

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.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. 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.

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) or ACNOR (Canada),

3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a

grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating

of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

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.
