•Do not use a multi socket outlet which is not properly
grounded(portable). In case of using a properly-grounded multi
socket outlet (portable), use the multi socket outlet with the current
capacity of the power code rating or higher and use the multi
socket outlet only for the appliance. Failure to do so may result in

immediately. This appliance uses a very eco-friendly gas
(isobutane, R600a) as the refrigerant. Although it uses a small
amount of the gas, it is still combustible gas. Gas leakage during
appliance transport, installation or operation can cause fire,
explosion or injury if sparks are caused.
•Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether,
benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide,
air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.
•Immediately unplug the power plug and contact an LG Electronics
customer information centre if you detect a strange sound, odour,
or smoke coming from the appliance.

Maintenance
•Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance or
replacing the inside lamp (where fitted).
•Securely plug the power plug in the outlet socket after completely
removing any moisture and dust.
•Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always
grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet
socket.
•Do not spray water or inflammable substances(toothpaste, alcohol,
thinner, benzene, flammable liquid, abrasive, etc.) over the interior
or exterior of the appliance to clean it.

•This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is
also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged.
•Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an
explosion.
•If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources
of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for
several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas
air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of
the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for
every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
•The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on
the identification plate inside the appliance.
•Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in
doubt, consult your dealer.
•This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications only. It should not be used for commercial, or catering
purposes, or in any mobile application such as a caravan or boat.
