y

install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving

y

the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving
it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.

Keep flammable materials and vapors,

y

such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing a small
amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with
your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Choosing the Proper Location

Select a place where a water supply can

y

be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.

NOTE

The water pressure must be 20~120
psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm²
on models without a water filter and
40~120 psi or 276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4
kgf/cm² on models with a water filter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged

y

into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp
area.

ENGLISH

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door
AlIgnment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.

Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in
house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator
parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding.
Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch on the control panel is in the OFF
position.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.

ENGLISH

18

INSTALLATION

Water Pressure

ENGLISH

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or
138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827
kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water
filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to the cold water supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to the cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276~414 kPa or

2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a
cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation
to prevent injury.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/
cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz
or 198 cc capacity):

Check to see if the sediment filter in

y

the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse

y

osmosis system to refill after heavy
usage.

If the issue concerning water pressure

y

from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.

All installations must be in accordance

y

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

Copper Tubing,

y

connect the refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.

To determine how

y

much tubing you need:
measure the distance
from the water valve on the back of
the refrigerator to the water supply
pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8
feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about
10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the
refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

When using any electrical device
(such as a power drill) during
installation, be sure the device is
battery powered, double insulated
or grounded in a manner that will
prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

1

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

2

Choose a location for
the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to
connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When
it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the top or
side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water
pipe.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

3

Drill a ¼ in. hole in
the water pipe using
a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole
in the pipe. Be careful
not to allow water
to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in.
hole may result in reduced ice production
or smaller cubes.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use
only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595
or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene
(PEX) tubing.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power
cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push
the refrigerator into the final position.

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs—
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side­to-side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust
the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions
below:

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise

1

that side of the refrigerator or to the right
to lower it. It may take several turns of the
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.

Open both doors again and check to make

2

sure that they close easily. If the doors do
not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.

Smart Grid Function

When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid
mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control
energy usage or delay the operation of some
functions to save energy during peak usage
periods.

You can override the Smart Grid function

y

at any time (using the Smart Grid button or
application).

To use the Smart Grid function, you need to

y

register your appliance with your electric utility
company.

Using the Smart Grid Function

This feature responds to notification events
from your utility company to run high energy­consuming tasks during off-peak periods when
demand is lower. These notification events are
known as Demand Response signals.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response
signal from the utility company, the refrigerator
will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator
display and control its power consumption
according to the signal.

The refrigerator will respond to the signals
received from the utility company as long as
product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response
signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay
Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance
Load Reduction (TALR) mode.

Delay Appliance Load (DAL):

responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate
load reduction for the duration of the delay period.
This mode controls functions that consume a lot
of energy such as adjusting the cooling system,
running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

- When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode,
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
display.

- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it
lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the
DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override
the Smart Grid function.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) :

The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by
aggressively reducing the load for a short time
period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces
energy consumption by stopping the compressor
and controlling the functions that consume a lot
of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.

- When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode,
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
display.

- TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it
lasts for the received duration (max. 10 minutes),
or when you override the Smart Grid function.
The mode is immediately deactivated and the
refrigerator returns to its normal state when the
door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is
used.

In-Door Ice Bin

Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.

CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice

y

compartment door and dispenser chute.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
personal injury.

The icemaker stops producing ice when the

y

in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice,
empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in
the freezer compartment. During use, ice
may build up higher around the sensor than
in the rest of the bin, causing the icemaker
to stop producing ice before the bin is full.
Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it
can reduce this problem.

To avoid damaging the icemaker, do not

y

store cans or other items in the ice bin.
Keep the ice compartment door closed

y

tightly. If the ice compartment door is not
closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will
freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop
producing ice.

If the icemaker is turned OFF for

y

an extended period of time, the ice
compartment will gradually warm up
to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser,
ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few
hours.

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the

2

front handle, slightly lift the lower part,
and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker

ENGLISH

Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
70-182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly

y

installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin

y

is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff

y

(feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make
sure the feeler arm is clean at all times for
proper operation.

To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus

y

function. The function increases both ice
making and freezing capabilities.

The ice passage may become blocked with

y

frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the
frost that accumulates by removing the ice
bin and clearing the passage with a rubber
spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

y

collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it

y

with water or other beverages. Splashing
may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass
that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally

y

narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from

y

the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the
outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of

y

the ice door and passage.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Do not store food with high moisture content toward the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could

y

come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food

y

packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

y

vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.

If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

HOW TO USE

Food Storage Tips

ENGLISH

The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.

Food How to

Butter or
Margarine

Cheese

Milk Wipe milk cartons. For coldest

Eggs Store in original carton on

Fruit Do not wash or hull the fruit

Leafy
Vegetables

Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)

Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish

Leftovers

Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze.

Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, rewrap tightly in
plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

in the freezer section if they
are not being consumed the
same day of purchase. It is
recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil, or store in
plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook
for further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen
food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per
cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a
sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.

HOW TO USE

37

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting

y

lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

y

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

y

Plastic-coated paper

y

Non-permeable plastic wraps

y

Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

y

bags

Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.

Do not use

Bread wrappers

y

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

y

Containers without tight lids

y

Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

y

Thin, semi-permeable wrap

y

Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator are adjustable
to meet individual storage needs. Your model
may have either glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different
heights will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.

Assembling the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the rear
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or food
spilling.

38

HOW TO USE

When Closing the Door

ENGLISH

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of door scratches

y

and breaking the center door mullion,
make sure that the refrigerator door
mullion is always folded in.

The door alarm sounds every 30

y

seconds if the door remains open
longer than one minute. Ensure that
the folding mullion is folded in before
closing the left-hand door.

CustomChill™ Pantry

This space is used to store meat, fish, dairy
products, beverages, and other items that
need to be kept chilled.

Setting the CustomChill™ Pantry

refrigerator, call 1-800-243-0000. Only use the
Smart Diagnosis™ feature when instructed
to do so by the LG call center agent. The
transmission sounds that you will hear are
normal and sound similar to a fax machine.

Smart Diagnosis™ cannot be activated unless
your refrigerator is connected to power. If
your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then
troubleshooting must be done without using
Smart Diagnosis™.

Modern refrigerators require more operating
time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.

Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back
down. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator
at once, keep food organized so it is easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all
the way, see the Doors will not close completely
or pop open section in Troubleshooting.

The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F)
expect your compressor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator
should not be operated above 110°F.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil

sol. La face avant devrait être légèrement plus
élevée que l’arrière pour faciliter la fermeture
de la porte. Les pieds de nivellement peuvent
être facilement tournés en inclinant légèrement
le boîtier. Tourner les pieds de nivellement vers
la droite pour soulever l’unité ou vers la gauche
pour l’abaisser. (Voir Nivellement et alignement
des portes.)

Connexion de la canalisation
d’eau

Avant de commencer

Cette installation de canalisation d’eau n’est pas
couverte par la garantie du réfrigérateur. Suivez
attentivement ces instructions afin de minimiser
le risque de dégâts d’eau coûteux.

Le martellement de l’eau (eau frappant dans
les tuyaux) dans la tuyauterie de la maison peut
causer des dommages aux pièces de votre
réfrigérateur et peut provoquer des fuites ou des
inondations. Contactez un plombier qualifié pour
corriger le martellement de l’eau avant d’installer
la ligne l’alimentation d’eau sur le réfrigérateur.

ATTENTION

Pour éviter les brûlures et les dommages
au produit, ne relier la ligne d’eau du
réfrigérateur qu’à une prise d’eau froide.

Si vous voulez utiliser votre réfrigérateur
avant d’avoir raccordé la conduite d’eau,
assurez-vous que l’interrupteur de la fabrique
de glace sur le panneau de commandes est
en position d’arrêt.

Pression de l’eau

La pression d’eau doit être comprise entre 1,38 et
8,27 bars sur les modèles non équipés d’un filtre
à eau et entre 2,76 et 8,27 bars sur les modèles
équipés d’un filtre à eau.

FRANÇAIS

Si un système de filtration d’eau par osmose
inverse est connecté à votre alimentation d’eau
froide, cette installation de canalisation d’eau
n’est pas couverte par la garantie du réfrigérateur.
Respectez attentivement les instructions pour
minimiser le risque de dégâts des eaux onéreux.

Si un système de filtration d’eau par osmose
inverse est connecté à votre alimentation en eau
froide, la pression d’eau au niveau du système par
osmose inverse doit être comprise au minimum
entre 2,76 et 4,14 bars (40~60 psi), soit moins de
2 à 3 secondes pour remplir une tasse de 20 cl.

ATTENTION

Porter des lunettes de protection lors de
l’installation pour éviter les blessures.

Si la pression d’eau depuis le système par
osmose inverse est inférieure à 1,38 bar (20 psi),
soit plus de 4 secondes pour remplir une tasse de
20 cl, procédez comme suit.

Vérifiez pour voir si le filtre à sédiments dans

y

le système d’osmose inverse est bloqué.
Remplacez le filtre si nécessaire.

Laissez le réservoir sur le système par

y

osmose inverse se remplir de nouveau après
une utilisation intense.

Si le problème concernant la pression de

conformes aux exigences du code de
plomberie local.

Ce dont vous aurez besoin

Tuyaux en cuivre,

y

pour relier le réfrigérateur à

que les deux extrémités des
tuyaux soient coupées au
carré.

Pour déterminer de combien de tuyaux vous

y

avez besoin : mesurez la distance de la vanne
d’eau à l’arrière du réfrigérateur au tuyau
d’alimentation d’eau. Ensuite, ajoutez 8 pieds
(2,4m). Assurez-vous que vous disposez de
suffisamment de tuyaux supplémentaires
(environ 8 pieds [2,4 m] enroulés en 3 tours
d’environ 10 po. [25 cm] diamètre) pour
permettre au réfrigérateur d’être retiré du
mur après l’installation.

Instructions d’installation de la ligne d’eau

AVERTISSEMENT

Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil
électrique (comme une perceuse
électrique) lors de l’installation,
assurez-vous que le dispositif soit
alimenté par batterie, ait une double
isolation ou soit mis à la terre d’une
manière qui permettra d’éviter le
risque de choc électrique.

Installer la vanne d’arrêt sur la fréquence la
plus proche en utilisant la ligne d’eau potable.

FERMER LA PRISE D’EAU PRINCIPALE

1

Ouvrir le robinet le plus proche pour
soulager la pression sur la ligne.

CHOISIR L’EMPLACEMENT DE LA VANNE

2

Choisir un emplacement
pour la vanne qui soit
facilement accessible. Il
est préférable de la relier
sur le côté d’un tuyau
d’eau vertical. Lorsqu’il
est nécessaire de la relier
à un tuyau d’eau horizontal, réalisez la
connexion sur le haut ou sur le côté, plutôt
que sur le bas, pour éviter de recevoir des
sédiments du tuyau d’eau.

PERCER LE TROU POUR LA VANNE

3

Percer un trou de ¼
“ dans le tuyau d’eau
en utilisant une pièce
pointue. Enlevez toutes
les bavures résultant
de forage du trou dans
le tuyau. Faites attention à ne pas laisser
l’eau drainer par le trou. Le défaut de
percer un trou de ¼ “ peut entraîner une
production de glace réduite ou des glaçons
plus petits.

REMARQUE

La ligne de raccordement ne peut pas
être composée de tubes en plastique
blancs. Les plombiers agréés ne doivent
utiliser que des tuyaux en cuivre NDA
n° 49595 ou 49599 ou des tuyaux en
polyéthylène réticulés (PEX).
