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 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. 3 prong grounding plug Ensure proper ground exists before use 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. 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. 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. 6
