• Read all instructions before utilizing the product Utilize
this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.

• Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold
surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the

• In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid
contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
or with the heating mechanism that discharges the
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the
ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is
connected.

• DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.
The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in
your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes
that:

"...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °E (4 °G)”.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair
services be performed by a gualified professional.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid

contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while

being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the GEE
position does not disconnect the power from the light
bulb circuit

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

"...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is
discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be
frozen or consumed. Gonsumption of melted ice cream
should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is
guestionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to
consume”.

"Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the guality of the
food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The guality of red meat is less affected than other foods.
Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their guality”.

A CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by ohildren, persons with physioal or mental disabilities, persons with reduoed
sensory or mental oapaoity, or persons with laok of experienoe or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruotion

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION

IMPORTANT; Attentively read the following.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

A WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this applianoe must

be properly grounded. Have a qualified eleotrioian
check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is
grounded properly.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own
outlet whioh is adequately grounded. The energy ourrent
should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A.C. and fused at 15 or 20
A. This provides the best performanoe and prevents an
overload whioh oould oause a fire from the overheating
of the oables. It is reoommended that a separate oirouit
be used for this applianoe, as well as a reoeptaole that
oannot be disoonneoted with a switoh.

Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.

NOTE: Before installation, oleaning or replaoing light

bulbs, you must disoonneot the applianoe from the
power souroe. When finished, plug the applianoe baok in
and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

USE OF EXTENSION CABLES
We do not recommend the use of exfension cables.

However, if you still ohoose to utilize an extension oable,
it is absolutely neoessary that it is listed in the UL (in
the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports
three-pronged plugs and that the eleotrioal ourrent
support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.

The use of an extension oable will inorease the amount
of spaoe needed behind the refrigerator.

A WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

If the power oord is damaged, it must be replaoed by
our servioe oenter or qualified LG teohnioian to avoid
any risk.

Do not use an extension oable. It is your responsibility
and obligation to replaoe two-prong outlets with that of
an adequately grounded three-prong outlet

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow
between the freezer and refrigerator seotions. As shown
in the illustration below, the oold air enters through
the bottom part and oiroulates upward. This air returns
below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the
refrigerator seotion through the top vent.

MULTI FLOW

• The oooling fan operates more powerful and effeotive

than when in normal operation. This is espeoially

notioeable when new food is plaoed in the refrigerator

oompartment

• If the lining is damaged, water or other substanoes

oould enter through the oool air vent oausing
deoreased effioienoy.

ENERGY SAVING MODE
NOTE: Energy-Saving Mode function is set from factory.

To activate or deactivate Energy-Saving Mode, open the
doors and then press the ENERGY SAVING button for
3 seconds.

CAUTION WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR

Id CAUTION

To reduce the risk of door scratches, please make
sure that the refrigerator door mullion is always folded
in.

If dew gathers on the refrigerator door mullion at any
point, deactivate the Energy Saving mode until the
issue resolves itself.

Do not blook any of these vents with paokages of food.
This oan interrupt the flow of air and oause temperature
and moisture problems.

IMPORTANT: Beoa use air oiroulates between both
seotions, any odors formed in one seotion will transfer
to the other. You must thoroughly olean both seotions to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out
of food, make sure you wrap or oover foods tightly (See
the "Food Storage Guide" seotion for details).

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to oool down oompletely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding
food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indioated in the

previous seotion should be oorreot for normal household
refrigerator usage. The oontrols are set oorreotly when
milk or juioe is oold to your liking and ioe oream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance. 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 the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer, begin 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.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1. In case of a black out, call your electric company
and ask how long It will last.

2. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open
the refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.

3. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:

• Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them In an

Ice chest.

• Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen Ice (make sure you use
gloves) for each sguare foot (28 L) Inside the freezer.
This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.

• In case you do not possess neither Ice chest or dry

Ice, consume your food as soon as possible.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains Ice crystals. It may be safely
refrozen, although the guallty and flavor may be affected.

If the condition of the food Is poor or If you feel It unsafe,

dispose of It.

WHEN GOING ON VACATION

If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going

away, consider these steps:

1. Consume all of the perishable Items and freeze the

rest.

2. Empty the Ice bln.

WHEN MOVING

If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when
moving, consider the following:

1. Remove all of the food from It, and place the frozen
food In an Ice chest with dry Ice.

2. Unplug your refrigerator.

3. Empty the water from Its tray.

4. Clean and dry It with a rag.

5. Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with

ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER

NOTE: The automatic Ice maker is only included in some

models. Check your specifications of your refrigerator.

A WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Avoid contact with any moving parts of the ejector

mechanism or with the heater that releases the ice

cubes. DO NOT place your fingers in the automatic ice

maker when the refrigerator is plugged in.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be
made between 12 and 24 hours.

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).

YOU MUST TURN THE SWITCH TO O (OFF)

• When the water supply is interrupted for many hours.

• When the ice container is left out of its place for more
than one or two minutes.

• When the refrigerator will not be in use for various
days.

NORMAL SOUNDS

• The valve will emit a buzzing sound when the ice maker
is full of water. If the switch is placed in the off position
the buzz will still be heard even when the water pipe
has not been connected. To avoid this sound, move
switch to O (off) position.

NOTE: The ice maker can get damaged if the switch is
kept in the ON position before the water pipe has been

connected.

• While the ice maker is filling up with water and
producing ice, you will hear the sound of the ice falling
and water flowing through the pipes.

PREPARING FOR VACATIONS

Move the ice maker switch to the O (off) position and cut

the flow of water going into the refrigerator.

If room temperature is at freezing point, have a
specialized technician drain the flow of water from the
inner pipes (certain models) to avoid broken pipe related

damage.

NOTE: It is necessary to have a water source when both

water and/or Ice dispensers are available in your product.

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
freguently, the older cubes of ice will be opague in color,
smaller, and with a strange flavor.

23

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE START

The water source is not guaranteed by the refrigerator
manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully in order to
reduce damage.

Air located inside the water pipes can cause hammering
or tapping causing damage to the inner pipes or water
spillage in the inside of the refrigerator. Call a gualified
plumber to fix such hammering on the connections
before installing the water pipe.

To avoid burn damage or such, never connect refrigerator
to hot water pipes.

If you are to use the refrigerator before connecting it
to the water source, make sure the ice maker is the off
position.

Never attempt to install the ice maker pipes in areas
where room temperature is below freezing point

When using any electrical device (like a drill) during
the installation, make sure device is doubly isolated or
making ground to prevent risk of electrical surge or
discharge.

All installations should be done considering local water
and drainage reguirements.

• If an inverted osmosis water filtration system is

connected to the cold water source, the water hose

installation is not assured or guaranteed by the
refrigerator or automated ice maker manufacturer.
Follow the next instructions carefully to minimize costly

water related damages.

• When having an inverted osmosis water filtration

system connected to the cold-water flow, the water
pressure for such system must be at least between

40-60 PSI or 0,27 MPa (2,8 kg f / cm 2 ~ 4,2 kg f

/ cm 2, (2,8 kg • f / cm 2 ~ 4,2 kg • f / cm 2, less than
2 ~ 3 seconds to fill a 7 oz of capacity cup [0,2 liters]).

• If the inverted osmosis water filtration system pressure

is less than 21 PSI or 0,14 MPa (1,5 kg • f / cm 2, more

than four (4) seconds to fill a 7 oz of capacity cup [0,2

liters]):
a) Identify if the sediments filter in the inverted osmosis
system is being blocked. Replace filter if necessary.
b) Allow inverted osmosis system storage tank to refill
after extensive usage.
c) Call a gualified plumber if the inverted osmosis water
pressure problem continues.

To determine how much pipe material is needed,

measures the distances between the valves located
behind the refrigerator and the source of water and add

to that 8 feet (2,4 m). Make sure there is sufficient pipe

material to allow the free movement of the refrigerator

from the wall

• A cold water source. Water pressure should be between
0,138 and 0,82 MPa or 20 and 120 PSI for models not
containing water filter and between 0,276 and 0,82
MPa or 40 and 120 PSI for models containing water
filter.

A drill.

Adjustable 1/2" (12,7 mm) key.

Flat and Phillips style (star) screwdriver.

Two 1/4" (6,35 mm) diameter
compression nuts with two

sides to connect the copper
pipe to the refrigerator valve.

If your current copper pipe has some reduction on the
ends, it will be necessary to get and
adaptor (found in hardware stores)
to connect the water line to the '

refrigerator. It is also possible to cut

such reductions with a pipe cutter
and use the compression connections mentioned above.

• Bypass valve to connect to

the cold water line. The valve
must have a water opening ,
with an interior 5/32" (3,46
mm) diameter in the cold­water connection point. These
valves can be located in any cold-water connection
package. Before buying make sure such valve meets
local standards and reguirements.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the valve to the pipe that you use to drink water.

(Connect only to a potable water source).

0 CAUTION; Con nect to potable water supply only.

1. CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SOURCE

Open the nearest water faucet to let water flow and
empty pipes.

REQUIREMENTS

• 1/4" (6,35 mm) in diameter copper pipe to

connect refrigerator to the water pipe. Make

sure both terminals are cut in

sguared manner.

2. SELECT THE LOCATION OF THE VALVE

Select the location of the valve that will

provide a better access. It is best to
connect to a vertical pipeline. When
connecting to a horizontal pipeline is

necessary, make the connection in the

lateral or upper area instead of the

lower area to prevent accumulation of

sediment

3. DRILL A HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a 1/4" (6,35 mm) diameter

hole in the water pipeline.

Remove jagged edges produoes

after perforation. Make sure
water does not reaoh the drill.

Not performing the 1/4" (6,35

6. PLACE THE PIPELINE

Plaoe the pipeline between the oold water pipe and the
refrigerator. Plaoe it through a hole in the wall or floor
(behind the refrigerator or next to the oabinet) as olose
to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Make sure there is a suffioient amount of extra
pipeline (8 feet [244 mm] ooiled up three times with a
10" [25 om] in diameter) to allow free movement of the
refrigerator from the wall after installation was made.

7. CONNECT PIPELINE TO VALVE

Plane the oompression nut and the oopper pipe ferule at
the end of the pipe and oonneot to the valve. Make sure

Allow water flow from the bypass valve (2) and olose after
draining 1/4 of a gallon (1L) of water.

9. CONNECT PIPE TO REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Before making oonneotion to refrigerator, make sure
it is not oonneoted to any energy source. If your
refrigerator does not have a water filter, it is advised
to install one.

• If your water source oontains sand or related partioles
that oan travel to the valve, install a water filter near the
refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: N ever use old or used hoses. Always use
new ones to have a better use and experienoe. Conneot

always to a potable water source to avoid seourity and

health issues.
