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”.

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 or 115 V
(According to the grounding requirements).

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.

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
127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC or 115 ~ 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. 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
sour

ce. 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.

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 qualied

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 ll 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.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

12

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4” (6,35 mm) hole in
the water pipe using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole
in the pipe. Take care not to
allow water to drain into the
drill. Failure to drill a 1/4”

(6,35 mm) hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.

NOTE: Licensed plumbers MUST use only cooper

tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross
Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle
valves are illegal and use is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed
plumber.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
oor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: 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.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is
fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression
nut securely.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle
valves are illegal and use is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed
plumber.

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on

and ush out the tubing until

the water is clear. Shut the water
off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 L) of water has been

ushed through the tubing.

9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be

sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the
wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water lter, we
recommend installing one. If your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog the screen of the

refrigerator’s water valve, install the lter in the water

line near the refrigerator

• Do not uses old hoses; only use new hoses provided by

the manufacturer.

1. Remove the plastic exible cap from the refrigerator

connection.

2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto

the end of the tubing. (See figure 1)

3. Insert the end of the tubing into the connection as

far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the
fitting.(Part A)

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

between the refrigerator and freezer sections.

• Cool air enters the freezer through the vents located
at the top of the compartment and exits through the
vents located behind the freezer drawers.

• Cool air from the freezer section enters the fresh food
section through vents located at the top of the
compartment. The air moves down throughout the
compartment and exits through the vents located
behind the crisper drawers.

• Do not block any of these vents with food packages.

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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 dried out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide
section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the
refrigerator door, you may see
the freezer door open and
close again due to pressure

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust

accumulated during shipping.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24
hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in
CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section should be correct
for normal household refrigerator use.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections).
The colder the setting, compressor will the longer the
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control

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 temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24
hours for the temperature to stabilize. If it is too warm or
too cold, then adjust the freezer control. Use the settings
listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to

wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

ICE MAKER OPERATION

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands
on the automatic ice making mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours
to begin making ice.

The ice maker will produce 5 cubes per cycle,
approximately 90 cubes in a 24 hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is
made to the ice maker, set the power switch to OFF (O).
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the shutoff
arm. When the bin fills to the level of the shutoff arm,
the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal for
several cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.

ITEMS HOW TO STORE
Butter or

margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered dish

or closed compartment. When
storing an extra supply, wrap in
freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese Store in the original wrapping until

you are ready to use it. Once opened,
rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.

Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best storage,

place milk on interior shelf, not on
door shelf.

Eggs Store in original carton or on interior

shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit Wash, let dry, and store in

refrigerator in plastic bags or in the
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries
until you are ready to use them. Sort
and keep berries in their original
container in a crisper drawer, or store
in a closed and sealed paper bag on
a refrigerator shelf.

Leafy
vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or
tear off bruised and discolored areas.
Wash in cold water and drain. Place
in plastic bag or plastic container and
store in crisper drawer.

Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper drawer.

Fish Use fresh fish and shellfish the same

day purchased.

Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or

aluminum foil. Plastic containers with
tight lids can also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer
guide or a reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with “tight-tting lids”

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specied freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic

food containers in the freezer compartment. They
may burst if they freeze.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 (0,9 to 1,35 kg per cubic meter) 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.
Food storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (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.

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide
rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted
metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax
(or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a
product specially designed for polishing stainless steel
appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge
and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical

products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine,
such as degreasers, detergents (containing TSP)
and bleaches.

INSIDE WALLS

NOTE: Allow freezer to warm up so cloth will not stick.

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm
water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water
(26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly.

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)

Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or

ammable uids. These can scratch or damage the

material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly.

BACK COVER

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or turn
off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Back cover should only be removed by a

qualified technician.

Clean the vents on the back
cover. Use a vacuum cleaner
with the brush attachment, at
least twice a year to keep your
refrigerator working efficiently.

LED REPLACEMENT

If refrigerator or freezer LED stop working, please call
your Service Center for service. Refer to the Warranty
Card to obtain the telephone number of the Service
Center near you.
NOTE: Do not remove the LED, it is only to be

removed by a qualified technician.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all

refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and
frozen.

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food

locker.

OR

b) Place 2 lbs. (1 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for

every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep
the food frozen for two to four days. While handling
dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from
frostbite.

WARNING

SUFFOCATION HAZARD

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation, Dry
ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes,
it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,
light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by
suffocation. Open a window and don not breathe
vapors.

OR

c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or dispose of food at once.

CARE AND CLEANING

BACK COVER

24

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. If you see that food
contains ice crystals, it may be affected. If the condition
of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe,
dispose of it.

WARNING

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, dispose 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.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator ON while you
are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator

before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Empty the ice bin.

3. Turn OFF the Icemaker. NOTE: If the ambient

temperature will drop below freezing, have a quailed
service technician drain the water supply system
(on some models) to prevent serious property
damage due to possible ooding from ruptured
water lines or connections.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator OFF before you
leave, follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and empty ice

bin.

2. Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.

4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors

to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This
stops odor and mold from building up.

WHEN YOU MOVE

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all

frozen food in dry ice.

2. Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.

4. Empty water from the defrost pan.

5. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.

6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and

tape together so they don’t shift and rattle during the

move. Refer to sections in Using your Refrigerator for
removal instructions.

7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the

refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the

leveling legs all the way so they don’t scrape the oor.

See the DOOR ALIGNMENT section.

8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION
section for setup instructions.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICE MAKER POWER
SWITCH TO OFF (O)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several

hours.

• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a

minute or two.

• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker lls

with water. If the power switch is in the ON 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
position.

NOTE: Keep the power switch in the ON 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.
