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
before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
WARNING
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 is in the OFF (O) position.

NOTE
Water Line Installation Instructions
CAUTION
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.
INSTALLATION
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 o any sediment from the water pipe.
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
3
Drill a ¼ in. (6.35 mm) 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. (6.35 mm) 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.

Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable

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
Eggs
Fruit
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, re-wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on interior shelf.
Store in the original carton on interior shelf, not on the door shelf.
Do not wash or hull the fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store it in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
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.

SMART DIAGNOSIS
ENGLISH
Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This allows you to speak 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 eective diagnosis.
If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call 1-800-243-0000 in USA (1-888-542-2623 in Canada). 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.
