READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
2
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
y
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
y
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
y
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures.
y
When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
WARNING
Use drinkable water for ice making.

Installation Overview
Please read the following installation instructions first after purchasing this product or transporting it to another location.
1 Unpacking your
fridge
2 Choosing the proper
location
3 Leveling and Door
Alignment
SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
y
Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating
y
freely. Do not set the temperature of fridge lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature
y
sensor. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food,
y
and lead to higher electric bills. Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature
y
even. Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and
y
cause temperature to rise.
10
INSTALLATION
Choosing the Proper Location
The fridge should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 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.
Unpacking Your Fridge

18
HOW TO USE
Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the fridge in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the fridge. For dated products, check use by dates to ensure freshness.
Food How to
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 Do not wash or prepare fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a fridge shelf.
Leafy Vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish
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.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
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 1 to 1.5kg. 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
Check a freezer food guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
NOTE
Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any kind as they can explode or shatter.
19
HOW TO USE
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 fridge 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

y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Fridge Shelves
The shelves in your fridge are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the fridge 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.
Refitting the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height. Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots.

SMART DIAGNOSIS
3
Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front
of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the fridge door, when instructed to do so by the call center.
4
Press and hold the Freezer Temperature
button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.
5
After you hear three beeps, release the
Freezer Temperature button.
6
Keep the phone in place until the tone
transmission has finished. This takes about 3 seconds, and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.
Should you experience any problems with your fridge, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.
If you experience problems with your fridge, call to the LG service center. 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 fridge is connected to power. If your fridge is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done without using Smart Diagnosis.
Using Smart Diagnosis
First, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.
1
Lock the display. To lock the display,
press and hold the Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.)
2
Open the right fridge door.
SMART DIAGNOSIS
NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone
y
while the tones are being transmitted. If the call center agent is not able to get
y
an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
NOTE
Call quality differences by region may
y
affect the function. Use the home telephone for better
y
communication performance, resulting in better service.
Bad call quality either from a mobile or
y
home phone may result in poor data transmission from your phone to the diagnostics call centre, which could cause Smart Diagnosis to not work properly.
