Important Safety Instructions

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.

Installation

• Ground the product for safety. For more details on grounding, inquire at an LG Electronics service centre. Improper grounding of the product can cause product failure or electric shock due to short circuit.
• Install the product on a solid and flat area. If the product is installed on an uneven floor, it can generate vibration and noise or cause misalignment of the door. If the product is not installed on an even floor, it may fall, causing injury or death.
• Do not install the product in a damp area and keep away from splashing rain or water. Water can damage the insulation causing the electric shock or fire.

• Be careful not to expose the rear of the product during the installation. Exposure can cause electric shock or injury.

• Be careful not to let the door fall during assembly or disassembly. This can cause injury.

• Be careful not to puncture or tear the cable during assembly or disassembly of the product door. This can cause electric shock or fire.

Power

• This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Use only grounded extension socket outlets. Using an ungrounded extension socket outlet can cause electric shock or injury.
• Do not plug multiple products into multiple socket-outlets or extension cords. This can cause a fire.
• Be careful not to point the power plug up or let the product lean against the plug. This may allow moisture into the power plug or damage the power plug causing the electric shock or fire.
• Remove the power plug when you clean the product or replace the inside lamp. Not removing the plug can cause electric shock or injury.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. It can cause the electric shock or injury.

• Plug the power in the outlet tightly after removing the moisture and dust completely. Improper contact can cause the electric shock or fire.

• When pulling out the power plug from an outlet, hold the power plug, not the cable. Damage of the cable can cause the electric shock or injury.
• If the power cable or power plug is damaged or the hole of the outlet socket is loose, do not use the power plug and contact LG Electronics service centre. Improper contact can cause electric shock or fire.
• Unplug the power plug during thunder or lightening or when not in use for a long period of time. Storms can cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on top of it. Damage of the power cable can cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not extend the length of the power cable or alter it. Electrical damage of the power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

Operation

• In case of flood, stop using the product and contact the LG Electronics service centre. Contact with water can cause electric shock or fire.
• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.), do not touch the product or power plug and ventilate the area immediately. Sparks can cause explosion, fire or injury. This product 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 product transport, installation or operation can cause fire, explosion or injury if sparks are caused.
• Do not spray the water inside or outside the product to clean it. Water can damage the insulation to cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not clean the product with brushes, cloths or sponges with rough surfaces or which are made of metallic material. This can damage the insulation and cause electric shock or fire.

• Immediately unplug the power plug and contact an LG Electronics service centre if you detect any abnormal noise, odour or smoke. This may indicate fire danger.

• Do not use the product for any purpose (storage of medical or experimental materials or shipping) other than household use. Improper use can cause electric shock, fire or explosion.

• Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether, benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide, air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the product. This can cause explosion or fire.

• Do not use a hair drier to dry the inside of the product or place a candle inside to remove the odours. This can cause electric shock or fire.
• If moisture penetrates inside the product, unplug the power and contact an LG Electronics service centre. This can cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not apply excessive force or impact to the back cover of the product. This can cause electric shock, fire, malfunction or explosion.

Disposal

• When you dispose the product, remove the door gasket while all parts are where they should be and keep children away from the product. A child trapped inside the product can be killed.

Notes for Operation

Suggestion for Energy Saving

• Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
• Do not overfill. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
• Do not set the temperature of product lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor. Keep the distance of least 5 mm from the sensors.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the product could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps product temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the product, and cause temperature to rise.
• To keep a position of inner parts like as baskets, drawers, shelves and Fridge Supplied by manufacturer is the most efficient usage for energy saving.

Storing Foods Effectively

• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.
• Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the product.
• Do not store food for a long period of time if it spoils easily at a low temperature.
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food inside each fridge or freezer immediately after purchasing.
• Do not overfill the product. Fill less than 70 % of the space. Cold air cannot circulate properly if the product is overfilled.
• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the product can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the product.
• Do not open or close the product door excessively.
• Limit storage inside the freezer to 1–3 weeks.
  • Always keep the product clean.

After cleaning, check if the power cable is damaged, warm or improperly plugged.

Keep the air exhaust on the exterior of the product clean.

- Plugged air exhaust can cause fire or product damage.

Use a soft wet towel to wipe the product exterior. If you used a neutral detergent, wipe it with a clean towel to make sure it doesn't stain.
