•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

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 fire due to the heat of multi socket outlet. The

benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide,
air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.

•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.
