C A U T I O N This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced sensory or mental capacity, or persons that lack 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. D A N G E R : 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 W A R N I N G 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 plug 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle (according to the country where one is) Ensure proper ground exists before use. Ensure proper ground exists before use. 3-prong grounding plug 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, 220 V or 115 V (According to the grounding requirements). Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard. W A R N I N G 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 The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC or 115 ~ 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. 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. 6
