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, AC or 127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC (according to the National rating). 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 use an extension cable. It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-prong outlet.

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.

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. 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.

CAUTION

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ţ Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment

door and dispenser chute. You could break something or injure yourself.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment so the icemaker can keep producing ice.

Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it. Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker, causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may 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 not produce ice.

NOTE: If the On/Off switch on the icemaker is set to Off for an extended 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.

CAUTION

While you handle the ice bin, keep your hands out of blade. The blade has sharp edges could cause injury.

NOTE: To open or close the ice room compartment, push or pull on the handle.

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the bin during replacement to avoid contact with the icemaker.

NOTE: Avoid touching the Ice-detecting sensor when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or 12 ice cubes (depending on your device) at a time, above 100 cubes per 24-hour period. This quantity may vary by circumstance, including freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings, freezer load, and other operating conditions.

ţ It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed

refrigerator to make ice.

ţ Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full. ţ To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker

switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).

ţ The water pressure must be 20 and 120 psi on models

without a water ﬁlter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water ﬁlter to make normal amount and size of ices.

NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when ice drops into the ice storage bin.

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 c adjust the freezer control as well. Use the settings listed in the table below as a guide.

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.

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.

Adjusting Shelves

Remove the shelves and adjust them to your convenience.

ţRemoving Shelves

Incline the front of the shelf in the direction indicated by ﬁgure 1 and lift in the direction indicated by ﬁgure 2. Pull the shelf towards you.

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 (CO produces oxygen, causing dizziness, slight headaches, unconsciousness or death. Do not inhale these vapors and properly ventilate the room while you use dry ice.

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:

ţ Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an

ice chest.

ţ 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 from 2 to 4 days.

ţ 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.

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.

ţ 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.

ţ 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]).

ţ 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.

REQUIREMENTS

ţ 1/4in (6,35 mm) in diameter copper pipe to

connect refrigerator to the water pipe.

Make sure both terminals are cut in squared manner.

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

ţ 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.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator might produce certain noises that your previous refrigerator did not. It is normal if you worry. Most of the new sounds you will be hearing are actually normal and expected. Hard surfaces like walls or ﬂoor can increase sounds and make them sound louder than they really are. The following list has a description of such sounds along with their causes.

ţYour refrigerator is designed to work efﬁciently to

preserve your food at the desired temperature using the least of energy. You will be able to hear a pulsing sound coming from the ventilators and the evaporator. The speed of the ventilator can speed up when you open the refrigerator door.

ţAfter each cycle you will hear a dripping sound due to

the refrigerant liquid in your refrigerator.

ţContraction and expansion of the inner walls can cause

a slight popping sound.

ţYou will hear a dripping sound caused during the

thawing cycle.

SMART DIAGNOSIS

(In some models).

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 (1-888-542-2623 for LG 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.

Using Smart Diagnosis

First, call 1-800-243-0000 (1-888-542-2623 for LG Canada). Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.

2. Open the right refrigerator door.

3. 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.

4. Press and hold the Freezer Temperature button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.

1. Lock the display. To lock the display, press and hold the Door / Alarm Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over ﬁve minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then ractive it).

5. After you hear three beeps, release the Freezer Temperature button.

6. 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.
