This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey.
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:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
injury, or product damage only.
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.
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 flammable 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 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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 fingers 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”.
7

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.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 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
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.

grounding type
wall receptacle
WARNING
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 volts, 60Hz, 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.
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.
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.
of environmental legislation. This appliance contains
fluid (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
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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORD
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.
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.

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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Copper Tubing, ¼” (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 [25 cm][2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10”
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

• If a reverse osmosis water filtration 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/cm ~ 4.2 kg•f/cm , less than
2~3 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system
is less than 21 PSI (1.5 kg•f/cm , more than 4 sec to fill
a cup of 7 oz capacity):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter 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.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
•Do not block any of these vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
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 from
internal air flow.
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, cool air enters through the
refrigerator from the freezer section and moves up. Most of
the air then flows through the freezer section vents and
recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air
enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
PRIOR TO USE
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours
before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in
the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

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
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 colder the setting, compressor willthe longer the
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 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.
