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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet
which is adequately grounded. The energy current should
be 115 V~ 60 Hz, 127 V~ 60 Hz or 220 V~ 50/60 Hz
(according to the national rating type) with a 15 A fuse
for voltages between 115 and 127 V or 10 A to 220 V
independent voltage protection system from the main
supply of your home. (The electrical installation must be
verified by a qualified technician.).
This provides the best performance and prevents an
overload which could cause a fire from the overheating
of the cords. It is recommended that a separate circuit
be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that

CAUTION
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.
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.
cannot be disconnected with a switch.
Do not use an extension cord.
It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-
prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-
prong outlet.
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 CORD
We do not recommend the use of extension cord.
However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cord,
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 with
a 15 A fuse for voltages between 115 and 127 V or 10 A to
220 V. (Verify the electric specification of your country.).
The use of an extension cord will increase the amount of
space needed behind the refrigerator.
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.
DO NOT USE MECHANICAL DEVICES
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, only those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
