Cfc Disposal - LG LMX28994 Series Owner's Manual

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to remove odor.
• Install in places away from the fire such as the place
where flammable gas is leaked.
• 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.
• 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 refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
wWARNING
Keep away from moving drawers.
• Small children can be knocked down.
• Fingers and toes can be injured.
Use child lock in households with children.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 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.

(CONT.)
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
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.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Do not leave the shelves in
place, as children may climb
inside.
• Turn the discarded
refrigerator on its long side
to make it less likely to turn
over and fail on someone.
Do not sit or climb on
drawers.
• The refrigerator can tip over.
If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
