IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY MESSAGES

This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the word “DANGER”, “CAUTION” or “WARNING”. These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what can occur if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock or personal injury, the following precaution measures should be followed:

•NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the power cord, always grip the plug ﬁrmly and disconnect it directly from the outlet.

•Immediately repair or replace all faulty or damaged service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the plug.

•When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll over the electrical cord.

•DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other electrical appliance.

•DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause serious injury to them and damage to the product.

•Keep your ﬁngers away from areas in which they can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children are near.

You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.

You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or damage to the product.

WARNING

could explode after freezing and cause damage.

•For your safety, this product should be properly grounded. Have a qualiﬁed professional check the electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground connection.

•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 skin could become adhered to these surfaces.

•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 °F (4 °C)”.

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair services be performed by a qualiﬁed 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 OFF position does not disconnect the power from the light bulb circuit.

•Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced sensory or mental capacity, or persons with lack of experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to assure that they do not play with the appliance.

DANGER: CHILDREN MAY BECOME TRAPPED

Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there “for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to prevent any accidents.

BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER WHEN NO LONGER IN USE:

• Remove the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children

cannot easily become stuck in them.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that uses CFC’s (chloroﬂuorocarbons). CFC affects the stratospheric layer of the ozone.

If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, ensure that CFC contaminants are properly disposed of by a qualiﬁed professional. If you intentionally remove the CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to ﬁnes or prison in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION

IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must

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

3 prong grounding type wall receptacle

3 prong grounding Ensure proper plug ground exists before use

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A.C. and fused at 15 or 20 A. This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a ﬁre from the overheating of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be disconnected with a switch.

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

NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light

bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the power source. When ﬁnished, plug the appliance back in and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

USE OF EXTENSION CABLES

We do not recommend the use of extension cables.

However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable, it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.

The use of an extension cable will increase the amount of space needed behind the refrigerator.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by our service center or qualiﬁed LG technician to avoid any risk.

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

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

WARNING

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

Use the assistance of two or more persons to move or install the refrigerator. Not following these instructions may cause injury to the back and other parts of the body.

UNPACKING

Before installing your refrigerator, remove any tape or temporary stickers. Do not remove any stickers that feature warnings, the model serial number or the technical label of the product located on the back of the refrigerator.

To remove adhesive tape residue, rub it well with your ﬁngers and a little liquid detergent. Clean with warm water and let dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ﬂammable liquids or abrasive cleaning products to remove the adhesive tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see the section on “Important Safety Instructions”.

The shelves come already installed in their factory position. Remove the shelves and replace them according to your spacing needs.

Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is extremely heavy. Make sure you protect the ﬂoor when moving your refrigerator for cleaning or servicing. Always pull your refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not shift from side to side or “walk” the refrigerator when attempting to move it as this can cause damage to the ﬂoor.

3. Install the refrigerator in an area between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the surrounding temperature

is lower or higher than previously mentioned, it can adversely affect the unit.

CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat

sources, direct sunlight or humidity.

ONCE INSTALLED

1. Carefully clean your refrigerator and remove and dust

accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as the ice bin, door racks,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. These are already packed to prevent any possible damage during shipping.

3. Leave your refrigerator on for 2 to 3 hours before

storing food inside. Verify that there is a ﬂow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

WARNING:

•Take care when working with the hinges, base cover and stops, etc. You may injure yourself.

•DO not place your hands or any tools in the air vents, the base cover or in the bottom of the refrigerator. This may cause injury or electrical shock.

INSTALLATION OF BASE GRILLE

Uninstalling or Replacing the Base Grille

1. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom front part of

your refrigerator (see Figure A).

2. Take off the cover.

Figure A

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Keep all ﬂammable materials and vapors (such as gasoline) away from the refrigerator. Not following these instructions may cause death, explosion or ﬁre

INSTALLATION

1. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct

sunlight, or humidity.

2. To avoid vibration, the unit should be leveled. If needed,

adjust the leveling screws to compensate for an unleveled ﬂoor. The front should be slightly taller than the rear to ensure that the doors close properly. The leveling screws can easily be turned by slightly tilting the front of the refrigerator, turning the leveling screws clockwise ( ) to raise it and counter-clockwise

( ) to lower it.

Installing the Base Grille

1. Align the bottom cover and place in position. Insert

the 2 screws and twist in place (see Figure B).

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

CLOSING AND ALIGNING THE DOORS

Closing the Doors

Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unstable or if you would like the doors to close more easily, simply adjust the inclination of the refrigerator by following the instructions below:

1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.

Move the refrigerator into its ﬁnal position.

2. Remove the base grille (Refer to the section on “Installation of Base Grille”).

3. Use a ﬂat head screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws,

turning clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator and counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns to adjust it to the inclination you would like.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This will make it easier to adjust the screws.

Aligning the Doors

To adjust the height of the doors, use the wrench (Included with the User Manual) to adjust the bolt in the door hinge (counter clockwise to raise or clockwise to lower)

When moving your refrigerator Note: Your refrigerator is extremly heavy. When moving

the refrigerator for installing, cleaning or service be sure to follow the next instructions.

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, slightly tilt the refrigerator further back by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several more turns. Make sure that you turn both leveling screws the same amount.

5. Ensure that the refrigerator is even by using a level.

6. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with

two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close completely.

1. Adjust leveling legs up.

2. Cover the ﬂoor with cardboard or hardboard to

avoid ﬂoor damage.

3. Always pull or push the refrigerator straight out

when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as ﬂoor damage could occur.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

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

MULTI FLOW

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

• If the lining is damaged, water or other substances could enter through the cool air vent causing decreased efﬁciency.

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. This function is recommended for added energy savings. (Some heaters to reduce excess moisture on the refrigerator may be turned off) The energy saving function is also recommended during long periods of time spent away from home-like vacation.

CAUTION WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR

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 block any of these vents with packages of food. This can interrupt the ﬂow of air and cause temperature and moisture problems.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See the “Food Storage Guide” section for details).

ICE PLUS

Press the button ICE PLUS. The LED light will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and intensify the cooling speed of the freezer and increase ice production.

DOOR ALARM

With this feature you will hear an alarm when the freezer or refrigerator door is open for more than 1 minute. These tones will repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is cancelled when the door is properly shut. To activate or deactivate Door Alarm, press the button ALARM.

ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls that allow you to regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37° degrees F and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0° degrees F. Leave them at these setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as illustrated above.

•Refrigerator Control: 32 °F to 47 °F (0 °C to 8 °C)

To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment open both doors, then press the REFRIGERATOR button to cycle through the range of available settings.

•Freezer Control: -6°F to 9 ° F ( - 21°C to -13°C)

To adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment open both doors, then press the FREEZER button to cycle through the the range of available settings.

• Temperature Display

To change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

1. Simultaneously press and hold the FREEZER and REFRIGERATOR buttons for more than 5 seconds.

2. Do the same to convert back to Fahrenheit.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food to 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 cold to your liking and ice cream 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.

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

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For more information on how to prepare food to

be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be stored consult a frozen food guide or cook book.

Packaging

A great freezing depends on how great you package the food. When you seal the package make sure you remove all excess air and do not allow humidity. A package that is incorrectly sealed will result in the transmission of bad odors, contaminants inside your refrigerator and will cause your foods to dry.

Packaging Recommendations:

• Use sealed plastic containers.

• Use plastic containers with a smooth surface.

• Package with aluminum foil of high resistance.

• Wrap with paper layered with plastic.

• Use water proof plastic.

• Use recommended plastic bags to store frozen foods.

Follow these packaging or container instructions in order to reach the best freezing

REFRIGERATOR SECTION

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES

The shelving of your refrigerator can be adjusted to comply with your storage necessities; Depending on the model you have in can include glass shelving or wired shelving. The storing of your foods together and adjusting the shelving to different heights will ease to help you locate what you need. This also helps your refrigerator to stay shut longer which will save you energy.

Do not use:

• Bread Wrapping.

• Plastic container not safe for storing.

• Containers without lids or seals.

• Waxed paper or waxed plastic.

• Thin wrapping paper or not water proof.

Freezing

IMPORTANT: Do not keep bottles in the freezer

compartment, they may explode after freezing and

cause damage.

For the maximum use of your freezer do not store excess food. Do not introduce a large amount of unfrozen foods that cannot be frozen within 24 hours (no more than 2 – 3 pounds or ,91 kg - 1,36 kg of food per square inch of space in the freezer). Sufﬁcient space must be left in order for the air to circulate properly around the packages. Leave enough space in order to close your refrigerator with out difﬁculty.

Storage times can vary depending on the type and quality of the food, the way its package, or packaging container used, (in comparison to air and humidity), and the temperature it being stored in. Ice crystals formed inside your package are normal it indicates the air and humidity inside your package have condensed.

NOTE: Let warm foods cool off at room temperature for approximately 30 min, then wrap accordingly with the methods mention above and freeze. By letting your warm foods cool off before you introduce them to your freezer it will save you energy.

WARNING

SUFFOCATING DANGER

Adequate ventilation is required when using dry ice. Dry ice is Carbon Dioxide (CO2). When it evaporates it produces oxygen, causing dizziness, slight headaches, unconsciousness or death. Do not inhale these vapors and properly ventilate the room while you use dry ice.

IMPORTANT: While your refrigerator glass shelving are cold do not clean with hot or warm water. The glass shelving may break if exposed to rapid temperature changes or hard impacts. For your safety the glass shelving are made out of tempered glass so when at breaking they will fracture into tiny fragments.

NOTE: Be careful while moving or relocating the shelves they are heavy. If moving the shelves is required keep in mind to locate them in a safe environment to prevent them from breaking.

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING

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 square 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 quality 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 bin.

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

adhesive tape.

6. Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top

part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw the levelers so it won´t scratch the ﬂoor. Consult to the section “Closing and Aligning Doors”.

7. Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the

refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.

When your refrigerator arrives to your home, put everything back into place and read the section “Refrigerator Installation” in order to obtain installation preparation. In case your refrigerator has a factory ice maker, remember you have to reconnect the water supply.

If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:

1. Remove all of the food.

2. Unplug your refrigerator.

3. Clean and dry it well.

4. Make sure the doors stay open (use blocks or tape) in

order to prevent bad odors and fungi from happening.

NOTE: The automatic Ice maker is only included in some

models. Check your speciﬁcations of your refrigerator.

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.

Switch Ice maker Sensor

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

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE 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 qualiﬁed 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 requirements.

• 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 qualiﬁed 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.
