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 persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

• NEVERunplugyour refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plugfirmly and pull it straight out 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 its length or at

eitherthe plugor connector end.

•When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to rollover or damage the power cord.

• DO NOTstore or usegasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DO NOTallow children to climb,stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

• Keepfingersout of "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Becareful when you open the doors when children are in the area.

• Unplugyour refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE:We strongly recommendthat any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

• Beforereplacing aburned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contactwith a live wire filament. (A burned-

out light bulb may breakwhen beingreplaced.) NOTE: Setting

eitheror both controlsto the OFF position does not remove powerto the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment -they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

• For personal safety,this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet andthe circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• Readall instructions before using this appliance. Use this appliance only for its intended purposeas described

in this use and care guide.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do nottouch the cold

surfaces in thefreezer compartmentwhen hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremelycold surfaces.

• In refrigeratorswith automatic icemakers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism,or with the heating element that releasesthe cubes. DO NOT placefingers or

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

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely

The United States DepartmentofAgricutture in Homeand Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...Youmay safely refreezefrozen foods that have thawed if they still containice crystals or if theyare still cold below 40°F (4°C).''

"...Thawed ground meats, poultry,orfish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen andshould not be eaten.

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

dangerous to eat." "Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and preparedfoods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of

many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possibleto

save as much of their quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs 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 _ b,.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 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 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.

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.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.

INSTALLATION

1. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight, or moisture.

2. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screws clockwise ("_'_) to raise the unit, counterclockwise (_"_') to lower it.

A proper distance from adjacents items

Please keep the refrigerator at a proper distance from other things. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result

in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity charge consumption. _---_
