This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or
hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety
alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
DANGER You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
CAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the change of injury and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
injury, or product damage only.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following. Read all instructions before using this
appliance:
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
straight out from the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do
not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either the plug or
connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.
• Do not crush or damage the water line.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
• Keep ngers out of ‘pinch point’ areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful when you open the doors when children are
in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they
may break when frozen, causing damage.
• The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that
the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if
an accident happens.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the ‘Attention Installer’ instructions
that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely
cold surfaces.
• In refrigerator with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases
the cubes.
• DO NOT place ngers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
“...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still
cold below 40 °F (4 °C)”.
“Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any
off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should
not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.
If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable,
get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat”.
“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats
is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of
their quality as you can”.

CAUTION
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow
the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorouorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away
your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If
you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance MUST be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (in the United States), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 V.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
of environmental legislation. This appliance contains
uid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and
materials which are reusable and / or recyclable.
All the important materials should be sent to the
collection center of waste material and can be reused
after rework (recycling). To recycle, please contact
your local agency.
WARNING
REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
our service center of qualified LG technician to avoid
any risk.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 V ~ 60 Hz 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. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension
cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (Ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or
cleaning turn the control (thermostat,
refrigerator control or freezer control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical
source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset
the control (thermostat, refrigerator control or
freezer control, depending on the model) to the
desired setting.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE
NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the
Automatic Icemaker and/or Water Dispenser
features are available on your product.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or seller.
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 lead to water leakage or ooding. Call a qualied
plumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up
the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water
line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF
(O) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.
All installations MUST be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
• If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer or seller. Follow next
instruction carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
• If a reverse osmosis water ltration 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 kg•f/cm² ~ 4,2 kg•f/
cm² , less than 2~3 sec to ll a cup of 7 oz. capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system
is less than 21 PSI (1,5 kg•f/cm², more than 4 sec to
fill a cup of 7 oz. capacity):
• Check to see whether the sediment lter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter
if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system
to refill after heavy usage.
• If the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper Tubing, 1/4” (6,35 mm) outer diameter to
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” [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the
wall after installation.
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet
(2,4 m) as described above.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure MUST be
between 20 and 120 PSI (1,4 bar and 8,2 bar) on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120
PSI (2,8 bar and 8,2 bar) on models with a water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2” (12,7 mm) or
Adjustable Wrench.
• Flat head and Phillips screwdrivers.
• Two 1/4” (6,35 mm) outer diameter compression nuts
and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to
connect the copper tubing to
the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing copper water line has a ared tting at
the end, you will need an adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to
connect the water line to the
refrigerator OR you can cut off the
ared tting with a tube cutter and
then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter of
5/32”(3,96 mm) at the point
of connection to the COLD
WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies
with your local plumbing codes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Connect to potable water supply only.
1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on
the line.
2. 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.
