This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages. 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, CAUTION. These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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:
· 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 the power cord.
· DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and 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 fingers 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.
· Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (Aburned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE Setting: either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
· Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment – they may break when frozen, causing damage.

·The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when 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.
· Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
· 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 refrigerators 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 fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking 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 refrozen 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 tess than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to Save as much of their quality as you can.”

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric Ozone.
This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), 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). For take back, please contact with the local agency.

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 of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

3-prong grounding plug

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle b,.f’_
Ensure proper ground exists before use.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 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, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, 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.
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 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by our service center or by qualified personal by LG Electronics, to avoid some risk.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at middle hinge.
2. With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with unit.)

\

3. Open 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 amount.
4. Re-adjust if necessary. 5. Replace the base cover.
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.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of freezer and circulates down. From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to freezer.
MULTI-FLOW
Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.
If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if the gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into 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 as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). 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 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 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 chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food 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.
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 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 container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed 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 a plastic bag or plastic container and store in the crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
Chef Fresh
Store most chef fresh in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary.
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 you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations: – Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids · Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
Heavy-duty aluminum foil Plastic-coated paper · Non-permeable plastic wraps · Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use:
· Bread wrappers – Non-polyethylene plastic containers · Containers without tight lids · Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap · Thin, semi-permeable wrap
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 Ibs of food per cubic foot 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.
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.
NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction.
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 do not breathe the vapors.

IN-DOOR ICE BIN
E CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice bin door and dispenser chute. You could break something or injure yourself.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bank into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment so the ice maker 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 ice maker.
Keep the ice bin door closed tightly. If the ice bin 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 then a few.

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 fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (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 0 (off).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (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.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to 0 (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

26

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. 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 flooding. Call a qualified 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 O (off) 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 doubleinsulated 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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED · Copper Tubing, 1/4″ 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 p.s.i, on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on models with a water filter.
· Power drill.
· 1/2″ or adjustable wrench.
· Straight= and Phillips= blade screwdriver

Two 1/4″ 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 flared fitting 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 flared fitting with a tube cutterand 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″ 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
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
2. CHOOSETHEVALVE 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.
3. DRILLTHE HOLE FORTHE VALVE
Drill a 1/4″ hole in the water pipe (even if using a selfpiercing valve) 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 hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

COMPRESSOR Check if…

MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH Then…

The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.
The room temperature is hotter than normal.

Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often.

The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the Food Storage Guide Section. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer to multi flow Section for the location of air vents.

The doors are opened often.

When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into
the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

The control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.

Refer to the Setting the Controls Section. Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too cold or too warm, move the dial one number
