IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY MESSAGES

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

DANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

CAUTION

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

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:

NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful

when you open the doors when children are in the area. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (Aburnedout light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen, causing damage.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read all instructions before using this appliance. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and care guide. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold

surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below 40 °F (4 °C).”

“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”

“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.”

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by person responsible for their safety.

appliance.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC’s are believed to harm the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a stratospheric ozone. qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC

refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

3 pins grounding plug

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,

cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain Conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 230 V, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 16 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. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING

POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by our service center or by qualified personal by LG Electronics, to avoid some risk.

DOOR CLOSING AND ALIGNMENT

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator tilt using the instructions below:

Open both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

4. Check, using a level.

5. Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 10 mm socket

or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

MULTI FLOW

The cooling fan operates more powerful and effective than in normal operation. This is specially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.

If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37 °F

C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0 °F ( -18 °

Freezer control: -6 °F to 9 °F (- 21 °C to - 13 °C)

When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT:

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing Fresh Food

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.

Butter or margarine

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

Cheese

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

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Eggs

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a plastic bag or plastic container and store in the crisper.

Vegetables with skins (carrots,peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.

Fish

Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

Chef fresh

Store most chef fresh in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary.

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 you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids Straight-sided canning/freezing jars Heavy-duty aluminum foil Plastic-coated paper Non-permeable plastic wraps Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

Bread wrappers Non-polyethylene plastic containers Containers without tight lids Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Freezing

IMPORTANT: Do not store bottles in the freezer

compartment - they may break when frozen, causing damage.

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 or 0.91

kg to 1.36 kg 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 (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.

NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO )2. When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. These units are all glass shelves.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebblesized pieces.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid dropping them.

Adjusting Shelves

Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace shelves in the position you want.

To remove a shelf:Tilt up the front of the shelf in the

direction of (1) and lift it in the direction of (2). Pull the shelf out.

Sliding Out Shelves (optional on some models)

You can slide some glass shelves in and out of your refrigerator as follows.

Sensor

• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a

minute or two.

• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills

with water. If the power switch is in the I (ON) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (OFF).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin

and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

I (ON) position

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to O (OFF) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

The ice maker produces 12 cubes per cycle (in between

80 and 100 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on

the temperature of the freezer, the times in which the door opens, and other using conditions (amount of food

in the freezer, etc)

If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial

to O (OFF).

When the water connections are performed, turn its dial to I (ON).

The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between

12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.

Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing interferes with the sensor.

When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop to make ice immediately.

It’s normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,

smaller, and with a strange flavour.

CONNECTING THE WATERLINE

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the

Automatic Ice Maker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on your product.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. 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 lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

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

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

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

Ÿ If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow next instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Ÿ If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 PSI or

0.27 MPa to 0.41MPa (2.8 kg·f/cm² ~ 4.2 kg·f/cm², less than 2 ~ 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity [0.2 liters]). If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less

than 21 PSI or 0.14 MPa (1.5 kg·f/cm², more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity [0.2 liters]). Ÿ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. Ÿ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. Ÿ If the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

To determine how 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” [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2.4 m) as described above.

A cold water supply

between 20 and 120 PSI or 0.137 and 0.82 MPa on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 PSI or 0.275 and 0.82 MPa on models with a

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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

Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using a selfpiercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4 hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you

might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Due to refrigerator's low energy consumption design, the fans will remain off by the door switch activates the inner compartment light.
