Choosing the Proper Location

Select a place where a water supply can

be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.

NOTE

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 psi on models with a water filter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged

into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

INSTALLATION

Connecting the Water Line

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 parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damange, 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.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 psi on models with a water filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the following instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

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 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm2, less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

Check to see if the sediment filter in

the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse

usage. If the issue concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

Copper Tubing,

connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how

much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

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.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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 off any sediment from the water pipe.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. 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. 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.

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs— one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or sideto-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

Remove the base grille. Refer to the Base

Grille Installation section.

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise

that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

ENGLISH

Door Alignment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower them to align properly. If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Owner’s Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the left to lower the height.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.

Open both doors again and check to make

sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same mount.

Replace the base grille.

HOW TO USE

In-Door Ice Bin

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice

compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when

the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will

damage the icemaker. Keep the ice compartment door closed

tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

If the O

N/OFF switch on the icemaker is set to OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few hours.

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the

front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while

slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the icemaker.

Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor

when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

ENGLISH

Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin

Gently pull the handle to open the ice

compartment.

CAUTION

When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.

Page 28

HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker

ENGLISH

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly

installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin

is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 psi on models with a water filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-

detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.

HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker (continued)

CAUTION

The first ice and water dispensed may

include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

Throw away the first few batches of ice

(about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

Never store beverage cans or other items in

the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

If discolored ice is dispensed, check the

water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Keep children away from the dispenser.

Children may play with or damage the controls.

The ice passage may become blocked with

frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it

with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally

narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from

the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of

the ice door and passage. Never remove the dispenser cover.

If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn

off the water supply and contact a qualified service center.

When You Should Turn the Icemaker Off

When the water supply will be shut off

for several hours. When the ice bin is removed for more

than one or two minutes. When the refrigerator will not be used

for several days.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the

position.

OFF

Normal Sounds You May Hear

The icemaker water valve will buzz as

the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to OFF (O).

NOTE

Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

You will hear the sound of cubes

dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Preparing For Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

Glide‘N’Serve

Provides storage space that keeps the compartment at a different temperature than the refrigerator. It is a convenient place to store sandwiches or meat to be cooked.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture

could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze. Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food

packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated. If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel. If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate

the refrigerator and raise its temperature. It can also increase the cost of electricity.

NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should

be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer. If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.

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.

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

FreezingFreezing

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

Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, 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 refrigerator, call 1-800-243-0000. 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.

Using Smart Diagnosis

First, call 1-800-243-0000. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.

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.)

Open the right refrigerator door.

Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in

front of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call center.

Press and hold the Freezer Temperature

button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.

After you hear three beeps, release the

Freezer Temperature button.

Keep the phone in place until the tone

transmission has finished. This takes about 15 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.

NOTE

For best results, do not move the phone

while the tones are being transmitted. If the call center agent is not able to get

an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.

The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.
