•
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 re.
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 re.
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 re.
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 re.

the area immediately. Sparks can cause
explosion, re 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 re, explosion or
injury if sparks are caused.

Notes for Operation
Suggestion for Energy Saving
Please do not keep the door open for a long time,
•
close door in the shortest time.
Do not overll. Enough space should be kept for cool
•
air circulating freely.
Do not set the temperature of product lower than
•
needed. Do not put the food near the temperature
sensor. Keep the distance of least 5 mm from the
sensors.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
•
food in the product could spoil other food, and lead to
higher electric bills.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
•
cold air keeps product temperature even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets
•
warm air enter the product, and cause temperature to
rise.
To keep a position of inner parts like as baskets,
•
drawers, shelves and Fridge Supplied by manufacturer
is the most efcient usage for energy saving.
Storing Foods Effectively
Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed
•
containers.
Check the expiration date and label (storage
•
instructions) before storing food in the product.
Do not store food for a long period of time if it spoils
•
easily at a low temperature.
Place the refrigerated food or frozen food inside each
•
fridge or freezer immediately after purchasing.
Do not overll the product. Fill less than 70 % of the
•
space. Cold air cannot circulate properly if the product
is overlled.
Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is
•
placed inside, the internal temperature of the product
can increase and negatively affect other foods stored
in the product.
Do not open or close the product door excessively.
•
Limit storage inside the freezer to 1–3 weeks.
•
