Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between
138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²) is required to
operate the water dispenser. If the refrigerator is
installed in an area with low water pressure (below
138 kPa), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
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 138 kPa to 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/
cm²)
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
work on connecting the water line. Failure to do
so may cause electric shock.
• Only connect the water line to a cold water
supply. Failure to do so may cause the water
filter to malfunction. Water hammer (water
banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can
cause damage to appliance parts and can lead to
water leakage or flooding.
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Connecting the water line must only be installed
by a qualified plumber and in accordance with
local legislation and regulations governing
water quality.
• This water line installation is not covered by the
appliance warranty.

OPERATION
Before Use
Notes for Operation
• Users should keep in mind that frost can form if
the door is not closed completely or if the
humidity is high during the summer.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food
stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the
door to close completely.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould
developing within the appliance.
Door Open Alarm
The alarm sounds 3 times in 30 second intervals if
the door is left open or not completely closed for 1
minute.
• Contact the LG Electronics customer information
centre if the alarm sound continues after 30
seconds even after closing all doors.
Failure Detection
The appliance can automatically detect problems
during the operation.
• If a problem is detected, the appliance may not
operate and an error code is displayed even
when any button is pressed.
• If an error code is indicated on the display, do
not turn off the power. Immediately contact the
LG Electronics customer information centre and
report the error code. If you turn off the power,
the repair technician from the our information
centre may have difficulty finding the problem.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored
foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly
and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to
prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment,
set the freezer temperature lower than the
temperature indicated on the food.
• Do not set the temperature of the appliance
lower than needed.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of
the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at
least 3 cm from the sensor.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has
a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact
on the food storage due to a temperature rise,
seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions.
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
appliance.
• Do not store food for a long period of time (more
than 4 weeks) if it spoils easily at a low
temperature.
• Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with
food that is already frozen. It could be necessary
to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing
every day is anticipated.

OPERATION
EN
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be
stored on top of the vegetable drawer.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which has
been completely thawed again will lower its taste
and nutrition.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot
food is placed inside, the internal temperature of
the appliance can increase and negatively affect
other foods stored in the appliance.
• If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored correctly.
• If there are chill compartments in the appliance,
do not store vegetables and fruits with higher
moisture content in the chill compartments as
they may freeze due to the lower temperature.
• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity
company and ask how long it is going to last.
- You should avoid door openings while the
power is off.
- When the power supply gets back to normal,
check the condition of the food.
Max Freezing Capacity
•
Express Freeze
function will allow the freezer to
reach its maximum freezing capacity. This
generally takes up to 24 hours and automatically
switches off.
•
Express Freeze
must be switched on for 2 hours
before fresh products are placed in the freezer
compartment.
• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts
like baskets, drawers, and shelves.
Freezing the Maximum Amount
of Food
If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the
freezer drawers should be taken out of the
appliance and the food should be stacked directly
on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.
• To remove the drawers, first remove the food
from drawers and then pull out the drawers
carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or
damage to the drawers.
• The shape of each drawer may be different,
insert in the right position.
Two Star Compartment
• Two star (
a
) basket or drawer can be used to
store ice and food from -12 °C to -18 °C for short
periods.
• Two star frozen food compartments are suitable
for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making
icecream and making ice cubes.
• Two star compartments are not suitable for the
freezing of fresh food.

Ice and Water Dispenser
Before Using the Ice and Water
Dispenser
• Keep children away from the dispenser to
prevent children playing with or damaging the
controls.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20
cubes and 7 cups of water). This is also necessary
if the appliance has not been used for a long
time.
• Clean the water dispensing system if they have
not been used for 48 hours. Flush the water
system connected to a water supply if water has
not been drawn for 5 days.
• To clean the water dispensing system, flush the
water through the dispenser about 5 minutes
and throw away the first few batches of ice.
• Do not use a thin crystal cup or chinaware when
dispensing water or ice.
• If you open the freezer door while water is being
dispensed, the water dispensing will stop.
• If you open the fridge door while water, cubed
ice or crushed ice is being dispensed, dispensing
will be paused. When you close the door, the
selected item will continue to be dispensed.
• If the cup rim is small, water may splash out of
the glass or miss it completely.
• Use a cup with a rim of over 68 mm in diameter
when dispensing water, cubed ice or crushed ice.
• When the ice maker produces smaller ice cubes,
or the cubes become lumped together, the
amount of water supplied to the ice maker may
be low due to insufficient water in the water
tank. If ice is not used frequently or the freezer
set temperature is too warm, it may also lump
together.
• It is normal for milky / cloudy water to be
dispensed after replacing the water filter. This
air in the water will eventually clear and is safe to
drink during this transition.
Using the Ice and Water
Dispenser
Press the dispenser selection button repeatedly
until the light above the icon that you want
illuminates.

Automatic Icemaker
This feature is only available on some models.
This feature may vary depending on model
purchased.
Before Using the In-Door
Icemaker
• The icemaker produces ice normally when
approximately 48 hours have passed after the
appliance is initially installed.
• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice
production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.

use the ice or water until the problem is
corrected.
• Do not touch the ice outlet or the automatic
icemaker with your hand or a tool.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with
water or other beverages. Splashing will occur if
ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains
liquid.
