IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey.

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, or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions. WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions. CAUTION 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 change of injury and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

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. Read all instructions before using this appliance:

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug ﬁrmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords

that have become 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 away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.

• Do not crush or damage the water line.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors

or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not 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.

• Keep ngers 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.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualiﬁed individual.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they

may break when frozen, causing damage.

• The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that

the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an 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.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the ‘Attention Installer’ instructions

that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

• 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 refrigerator 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 ngers or hands on the automatic ice

making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may 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 frozen and should 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 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

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that

used CFCs (chlorouorocarbons). CFCs are believed

to harm stratospheric ozone. 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

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

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.

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 V.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

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.

of environmental legislation. This appliance contains uid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the important materials should be sent to the collection center of waste material and can be reused after rework (recycling). To recycle, please contact your local agency.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by our service center of qualiﬁed LG technician to avoid any risk.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 V ~ 60 Hz 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. 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 or

cleaning 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.

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ammable uids or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or

glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see the Important Safety Instructions section.
