Requirements For Ground Connection - LG LFC23760 Series 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.
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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
3-prong
grounding
plug
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be connection to its own
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current
should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, C.A. 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.

CFC DISPOSAL

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION

Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
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.
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 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.
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.
