Immediately repair or replace 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.
• Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Use
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.
oDO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.
The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in
your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes
that:
't.You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)'t
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair
services be performed by a qualified professional.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or shut clown the circuit breaker to avoid
contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while
being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the power from the light
bulb circuit.

't..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'(

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.
3 prong
grounding type
wall receptacle
3 prong _ Ensure pr_De_r
grounding __nd exiii"
plug before use
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.
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.
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.

CLOSINGANDALiGNiNGTHEDOORS
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").
Aligning the Doors
If the spacing between the doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align them:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the screws from the top hinge using a 10 mm
socket or wrench.
3. Have someone help you hold the door in place or
place a spacer between the doors while tightening the
top hinge screws.
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.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
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.
4.0pen 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.

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.
MULTi FLOW
The cooling fan operates more powerful and effective
than when in normal operation. This is especially
noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator
compartment. If the lining is damaged, water or other
substances could enter through the cool air vent causing
decreased efficiency.
I
Do not block any of these vents with packages of food.
This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature
and moisture problems.
Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL and the
FREEZER CONTROL at position number "4't Leave it
on these settings for 24 hours (one day) in order to
stabilize the refrigerator. After this you may adjust the
compartments to your desired temperature.
• Refrigerator Control: Position 1 to 7(32 °F to 47 °F
or 0 °C to 8 °C)
The lower the degree, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.

°Freezer Control: Position I to 7(-6 °F to 9°F or
-21 °C to -13 °C)
The lower the degree, the colder the freezer compartment
will become. Despite this, the compartment of the
refrigerator will be less cold because air flows in smaller
quantities.
• Ice Plus
Press the button Ice Plus. The LED light will turn on.
This function will remain activated for 24 hours and
intensify the cooling speed of the freezer and increase
ice production.

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).
DOOR ALARM
With this feature you will hear an alarm when the freezer
or refrigerator door is ajar for more than 1 minute.
These tones will repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is
cancelled when the door is properly shut.

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
cause your foods to dry.
