If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.),

do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area

immediately. This appliance 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

appliance transport, installation or operation can cause fire,

explosion or injury if sparks are caused.

•

Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether,

benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide,

air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.

•

Immediately unplug the power plug and contact an LG Electronics

customer information centre if you detect a strange sound, odour,

or smoke coming from the appliance.

•

Fill with potable water only into icemaker or dispenser water tank.

Maintenance

•

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance or

replacing the inside lamp (where fitted).

•

Securely plug the power plug in the outlet socket after completely

removing any moisture and dust.

•

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always

grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet

socket.

•

Do not spray water or inflammable substances(toothpaste, alcohol,

thinner, benzene, flammable liquid, abrasive, etc.) over the interior

or exterior of the appliance to clean it.

•
