"for just a few days". If you would like to dispose of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own

should only be 115 V ~ 60 Hz, 127 V ~ 60 Hz or 220 V~
50/60 Hz, AC (according to the National rating type).

10 A to 220 V independent voltage protection system
from the main supply of your home. (The electrical
installation must be verified by a qualified technician).
This provides the best performance and prevents an
overload which could cause a fire from the overheating
of the cables.

Remove the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily become stuck in them.

CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fines or prison
in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.
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

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 15 A fuse for voltages between 115 and 127 V
or 10 A to 220 V. (Verify the electric specification of
your country.) The

refrigerator.
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.
DO NOT USE MECHANICAL DEVICES
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, only those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
