IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY MESSAGES
This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury
or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the
word “DANGER”, “CAUTION” or “WARNING”. These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what
can occur if the instructions are not followed.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal
injury, the following precaution measures should be
followed:
•NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the
power cord, always grip the plug firmly and disconnect
it directly from the outlet.
•Immediately repair or replace all faulty or damaged
service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or
abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the
plug.
•When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll
over the electrical cord.
•DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible
liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other
electrical appliance.
•DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from
the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause
serious injury to them and damage to the product.
•Keep your fingers away from areas in which they
can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and
cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children
are near.
You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.
You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury
or damage to the product.
WARNING
could explode after freezing and cause damage.
•For your safety, this product should be properly
grounded. Have a qualified professional check the
electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground
connection.
•Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize
this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.
•Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold
surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the
skin could become adhered to these surfaces.
•In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid
contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
or with the heating mechanism that discharges the
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the
ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is
connected.
•DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.
The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in
your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes
that:
“...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.
•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair
services be performed by a qualified professional.
•Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid
contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while
being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the power from the light
bulb circuit.
•Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
“...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is
discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be
frozen or consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream
should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to
consume”.
“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the
food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The quality of red meat is less affected than other foods.
Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their quality”.

CAUTION
This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced
sensory or mental capacity, or persons with lack of experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction
in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
assure that they do not play with the appliance.
DANGER: CHILDREN MAY BECOME TRAPPED
Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not
a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned
refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there
“for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to prevent any accidents.
BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER WHEN NO LONGER IN USE:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily become stuck in them.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
uses CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC affects the
stratospheric layer of the ozone.
If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, ensure
that CFC contaminants are properly disposed of by a
qualified professional. If you intentionally remove the
CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fines or prison
in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must
be properly grounded. Have a qualified electrician
check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is
grounded properly.
3 prong
grounding type
wall receptacle
3 prong Ensure proper
grounding ground exists
plug before use
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current
should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A.C. and fused at 15 or 20
A. This provides the best performance and prevents an
overload which could cause a fire from the overheating
of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit
be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that
cannot be disconnected with a switch.
It is your responsibility and obligation to replace twoprong outlets with that of an adequately grounded threeprong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.
NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light
bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the
power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in
and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.
USE OF EXTENSION CABLES
We do not recommend the use of extension cables.
However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable,
it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in
the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports
three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current
support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.
The use of an extension cable will increase the amount
of space needed behind the refrigerator.
WARNING
REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
our service center or qualified LG technician to avoid
any risk.
Do not use an extension cable.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
Use the assistance of two or more persons to move or
install the refrigerator. Not following these instructions
may cause injury to the back and other parts of the
body.
UNPACKING
Before installing your refrigerator, remove any tape
or temporary stickers. Do not remove any stickers
that feature warnings, the model serial number or the
technical label of the product located on the back of the
refrigerator.
To remove adhesive tape residue, rub it well with your
fingers and a little liquid detergent. Clean with warm
water and let dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
liquids or abrasive cleaning products to remove the
adhesive tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see
the section on “Important Safety Instructions”.
The shelves come already installed in their factory
position. Remove the shelves and replace them
according to your spacing needs.
Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is extremely heavy. Make sure you
protect the floor when moving your refrigerator for
cleaning or servicing. Always pull your refrigerator
straight out when moving it. Do not shift from side
to side or “walk” the refrigerator when attempting
to move it as this can cause damage to the floor.
3. Install the refrigerator in an area between 55 °F
(13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the surrounding temperature
is lower or higher than previously mentioned, it can
adversely affect the unit.
CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat
sources, direct sunlight or humidity.
ONCE INSTALLED
1. Carefully clean your refrigerator and remove and dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as the ice bin, door racks,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. These are already
packed to prevent any possible damage during
shipping.
3. Leave your refrigerator on for 2 to 3 hours before
storing food inside. Verify that there is a flow of cold air
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
WARNING:
•Take care when working with the hinges, base cover
and stops, etc. You may injure yourself.
•DO not place your hands or any tools in the air vents,
the base cover or in the bottom of the refrigerator. This
