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 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 of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

• NEVERunplug your refrigerator by pullingon the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly 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
either the plug or connector end.

•When moving your refrigerator awayfrom the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• DONOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DONOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

• Keepfingers out of "pinch point"areas; clearances between

the doors and cabinet are 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 with a live wire filament. (A burned-

out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE:Setting
either or both controls to the OFF positiondoes not remove

powerto the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may
break when frozen, causing damage.

• The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply
plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

• 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.

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and 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 adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• In refrigerators with 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
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanismwhile the
refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOTrefreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...Youmay safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below
40°F (4°C).''

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

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

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

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods.
The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of
many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to
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.
This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), is
made of parts and materials which are reusable and / or

recyclable. All the important materials should be sent to
the collecton center of waste material and can be reused

after rework (recycling).

For take back, please contact with the local agency.

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 -_.

3-prong
grounding
plug ._,,-

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), 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.
