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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
  WARNING
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                         Ensure proper           
   plug                                  ground exists 
                                              before use
 
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own 
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current 
should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A.C. 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. 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.
   WARNING
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.
