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.

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.

WARNING

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.

Repair or replace immediately 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.

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

DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

If the use of this unit is no longer needed, please contact local authorities to dispose of this product in a safe way due contains Pentane-cycle or pentane like gas for insulation. Insulation gases require a special elimination process. This product contains flammable insulation.

NOT lengthen or modify the power cord.

DO NOT use extension cords or adapters ungrounded.

The insulation in this unit contains cyclopentane or a pentane-like gas which is fl ammable and requires a special elimination process. Before discontinuing use of this refrigerator, contact local authorities to arrange for safe disposal of the unit.

Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they 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 United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.

“...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”.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

grounding

re proper

plug

ound exists

 

fore use

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.

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.

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.

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.

Image only for reference.

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.

Door Alignment

The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for proper alignment.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) 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.

The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable nut.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the right door:

1With one hand, lift up both the inner and

outer door sections of the right door to raise them at the middle hinge. (Opening the door may make lifting it easier)

2With the other hand, use pliers to insert the

snap ring on the middle hinge of the inner door section as shown. Do not insert the ring on the hinge of the outer door section.

3Insert additional snap rings until the right door

is aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with the unit.)

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SPACEPLUS ICE SYSTEM

CAUTION

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.

Ice maker operation video

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

Ice-detecting

Sensor

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.

20

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

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.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice.

Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.

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).

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.

Even when the water pipe is not connected and the Ice Maker is turned on, the water valve operates. The noise is generated because the water pipe is not connected, which does not mean the icemaker is defective.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

CAUTION

The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 pieces) and purge the water line for 2 minutes after installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.

This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

Never store beverage cans or other foods 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 an Authorized Service Center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Keep children away from the dispenser. Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser. The ice passage may also become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.

Such glasses or containers may break, and

glass fragments could be 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 you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and call your Service Center. Refer to the Warranty Card to obtain the telephone number of the Service Center near you (24 hours a day, 365 days a year).

NOTE: Do not dispense ice continuously for more than 30 sec. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 80 seconds OFF.

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

22

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

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

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.

REFRIGERATOR SECTION
