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:
DANGER You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
CAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or product damage only.
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 ammable 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 ngers 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.
• 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 ngers 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”.

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.
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 (chlorouorocarbons). 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
of environmental legislation. This appliance contains
uid (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.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
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.
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
115 V ~ 60 Hz 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
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.

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
fill 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

11
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.
CAUTION: Check to make sure that leaks are not
occurring in the water line.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air MUST ow
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.
If the vents are blocked, airow 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 ow.
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 ow 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 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
adjusts the cold air ow 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. Always
remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

ICEMAKER 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 icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours
to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle,
approximately 100-120 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 icemaker, 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 feeler
arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler 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.
