Grounding Requirements - LG LSC23924ST Owner's Manual

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.
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.
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-

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.

Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
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).

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 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.
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.
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
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.
