DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
CFC & HCFC DISPOSAL
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow
the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.
IF YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY YOUR LG REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliances
are damaged prior to disposal.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of enviromental legislation.
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliances
are damaged prior to disposal.
Refrigeration from late nineties have a cooling system that
used HCFC's (Hydrochloroflurocarbons). (134a) These
gases must be reclaimed.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the HCFC's refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this HCFC's
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of enviromental legislation.
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliances
are damaged prior to disposal.
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard
signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if
the instructions are not followed.
SAFETY MESSAGES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:
NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the
outlet. After switching off at power point.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either the plug or connector end.
When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
DO NOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-
out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting
either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove
power to the light circuit.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (pin) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
iIf the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or similary
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.I
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
230-240 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 10 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could case a fire
hazard from overheated wires.
5
When you decide the placement of your refrigerator,
as a stationary appliance, it should have its plug accesible
at all times.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsability and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-ping wall outlet.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
