•If the appliance is equipped with a lock (some countries only), keep
the key out of reach of children.
Installation
•This appliance should only be transported by two or more people
holding the appliance securely.
•Ensure that the socket outlet is properly grounded, and that the
earth pin on the power cord is not damaged or removed from the
power plug. For more details on grounding, inquire at an LG
Electronics customer information centre.
•This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug
must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is
loose, do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service
centre.
•Do not plug the appliance into a multi socket adapter which does
not have a power cable(mounted).
•Do not modify or extend the power cable.

55
•Avoid using any extension cords or double adaptor. The appliance
should be connected to a dedicated power line which is separately
fused.
•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 electric
shock or re due to the heat of multi socket outlet. The power may
be shut off when the circuit breaker is operated.
•Install the appliance in a place where is easy to unplug the power
plug of the appliance.
•Be careful not to point the power plug up or let the appliance lean
against the power plug.
•Install the appliance on a rm and level oor.

not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area
immediately. This appliance uses a Refrigerant gas (isobutane,
R600a). Although it uses a small amount of the gas, it is still
combustible gas. Gas leakage during appliance transport,
installation or operation can cause re, explosion or injury if sparks
are caused.

•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 ames 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 ammable 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 identication 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
