TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

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.

3 prong grounding

plug

3 prong grounding type wall receptacle

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, A.C. and fused at 15 or 20 A. 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.

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.

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.

Do not use an extension cable.

CLOSINGANDALiGNiNGTHEDOORS

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary, 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.

Your refrigerator has three 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:

NOTE: Third leveling screw is used for protection of hinge lower.

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 (see Figure A), 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.

3.0pen both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both Leveling Screws clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both Leveling Screws the same times.

Figure A

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

1. Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head screwdriver and remove.

2. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts using a 10 mm or 13/32 inch socket wrench or open-end wrench.

3. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space between the two doors is even, and retighten the top hinge bolts.

4.Replace the Top Hinge Cover.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow

between the freezer and refrigerator sections. As shown in the illustration below, the cold air enters through

the bottom part and circulates upward. This air returns

below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS

• Your refrigerator has two controls that allow you to regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

• Refrigerator Control

Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle setting (number 3). To do so, press the TEMPERATURE

ADJUST button until it reaches the middle position

(the third LED turns ON). Leave the refrigerator on this

setting for 24 hours to reach the correct temperature. After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours before you adjust the temperature. If you want to set the refrigerator

compartment temperature to a warmer temperature than the current, continue pressing the TEMPERATURE

ADJUST button until it reaches the desired temperature.

• Demo Mode (For Store Use Only)

Demo Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF will display on the control panel.

Do not block any of these vents with packages of food. This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature and moisture problems.

To deactivate:

Press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until your

desired temperature setting is reached. The OFF light will turn off once the Demo Mode is deactivated.

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 drying out of food, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See the "Food Storage Guide" section for details).

NOTE: If you close the fresh food compartment door applying

more force than necessary, freezer door may get open and close again, due internal air flow of refrigerator.

" Freezer Control

The freezer control should come from factory on the

middle setting (number 2). Wait 24 hours before adjusting the freezer compartment temperature. Roll the knob to set the freezer temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment to reach the desired temperature.

NOTE: Setting at higher number of the Freezer compartment, the tem _erature of freezer compartment

becomes colder. _,

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.

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 rain, 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.

SUFFOCATING DANGER

Adequate ventilation is required when using dry ice.

Dry ice is Carbon Dioxide (C02). When it evaporates it produces oxygen, causing dizziness, slight headaches,

unconsciousness or death. Do not inhale these vapors
