ţDO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible
liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other
electrical appliance.
ţDO 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.
ţKeep your fingers away from areas in which they

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:
ţ Remove the doors.
ţ 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
grounding Ensure proper
plug ground exists
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, AC or 127 V ~ 60 Hz,
AC (according to the National rating). 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.
Do not use an extension cable. It is your responsibility
and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of
an adequately grounded three-prong 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.
