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.

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

Automatic Ice maker and/or Water Dispenser
features are available on your product.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installationis not warranted by the
refrigerator or ice maker 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 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 ice maker power switch is in the OFF
(0) position.
Do not install the ice maker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is
less than 21 PSI (1,5 kgof/cm z, 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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
•Copper Tubing, 1/4" (6,35 mm) outer JJ
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 S feet
(2,4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
S 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 S 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 S,2 bar) on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120
PSI (2,S bar and S,2 bar) on models with a water filter.

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.
3. DRILLTHE HOLE FORTHE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" (6,35 ram) 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 ram) hole may result in
reduced ice production or smaller
cubes.

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 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.

ICE MAKER OPERATION
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 ice making mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice.
Power Switch
14

The ice maker will produce 12 cubes per cycle,
approximately 140-150 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 ice maker, set the power switch to OFF (0).
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
ice maker 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.

prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
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.

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
• 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 Ibs
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.
