Connecting the Water Line

Before Beginning

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If necessary, call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes, or water hammer in residential plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding.

Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be used before the water line is connected.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where the ambient temperatures fall below freezing.

WARNING • Connect to potable water supply only.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.
Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/ cm2 (takes more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):

Check to see if 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 water pressure remains low, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Supplies Needed

Copper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. 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 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
Power drill.
½ in. or adjustable wrench.
Flat-blade and Phillips-head screwdrivers
Two ¼ in. 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, purchase an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR cut off the flared fitting 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 in. 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.

NOTE • A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

WARNING • When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery-powered, double-insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Shut off the main water supply.
- Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
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.
Drill the hole for the valve.
- Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
- NOTE • The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
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.
Tighten the pipe clamp.
- Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
- NOTE • Do not over tighten clamp or you may crush the tubing.
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 floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
- NOTE • Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 ft. coiled into three turns of about 10 indiameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
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.
Flush out the tubing.
- Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart of water has been flushed through the tubing.
Connect the tubing to the refrigerator.
- NOTE • Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
- Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
- Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
- NOTE • Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
- Tubing Clamp ¼ in. Tubing ¼ in. Compression Nut Ferrule (sleeve) Refrigerator Connection
Turn the water on at the shutoff valve.
- Tighten any connections that leak.
- CAUTION • Check to see if leaks occur at the water line connections.

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or sideto side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the doors do not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
- NOTE • A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.
Open both doors and check to make sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and be sure to turn both leveling legs the same amount.

Door Alignment (Standard Door Model)

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower them to align properly.

If the space between the doors is uneven even after the door bins are filled, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the owner's manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn the nut to the right to raise the door or to the left to lower it.

Door Alignment (Door-in-Door Model)

Left Refrigerator Door

The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for proper alignment.

If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the left door:

Use the wrench (included with the owner's manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn the nut to the right to raise the door or to the left to lower it.

Right Refrigerator Door

The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable nut.

If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the right door:

Ice and Water

Dispenser Before Use

CAUTION

Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 140 - 160 cubes) after installation. This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact an LG Electronics Customer Information Center.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performancemay be affected.

NOTE

The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 140 - 160 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
The dispenser will not operate when either of the refrigerator doors is open.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact an LG Electronics Customer Information Center. Do not use the water or ice until the problem is corrected.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
Some dripping may occur after dispensing. Hold the cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds after dispensing to catch all of the drops.
Keep containers at an appropriate distance from the dispensers. Tall, narrow glasses should be held far enough from the ice outlet to prevent ice from jamming in the ice chute. A container with a very small opening should be held as close to the dispenser as possible to avoid spilling.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

Using the Ice and Water Dispenser

Press the dispenser selection button repeatedly until the light above icon what you want illuminates. Press the dispenser paddle with a glass or other container to dispense cubed ice, water or crushed ice.

Locking the Ice and Water Dispenser

Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to lock the dispenser and all the control panel functions. Follow the same instructions to unlock.

Ice Compartment

CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment 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 stop producing ice.

In-Door Ice Bin

The icemaker stops producing ice when the indoor ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice may stack unevenly in the bin, causing the icemaker to misread the number of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

CAUTION

When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.
Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended period of 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 turned OFF for more than a few hours.

The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.

Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin

CAUTION • Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service center should disassemble or repair the icemaker.

Gently pull the handle to open the ice compartment.
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

CAUTION

When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.
Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

Carefully insert the in-door ice bin, slanting the top slightly to fit it under the icemaker.
Gently push the handle to close the ice compartment.

Automatic Icemaker

In-Door Icemaker

Icemaker Power Switch Auto Shutoff (feeler arm)

NOTE

Ice is made in the automatic in-door icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker produces 70 - 182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

NOTE

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice.
Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation. • To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function. The function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.

Turning the Automatic Icemaker

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

Storing Food

Food Storage Tips

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.

CAUTION

Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.

Food & How to Store

Butter or Margarine
- Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese
- Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons.
- For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.
Eggs
- Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit
- Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.
Leafy Vegetables
- Remove store wrapping, 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.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
- Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish
- Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended.
Leftovers
- Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a 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 pounds 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 (how 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, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy

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 could 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

NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

Wireless LAN Module Specifications

Smart Grid Function

When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save energy during peak usage periods.

You can override the Smart Grid function any time (using the Smart Grid button or application).
To use the Smart Grid function, you need to register your appliance with your electric utility company.

Smart Grid Application Features

Smart Saving_Demand Response
- You can lower energy usage based on Demand Response (DR) signals from the utility company. If the refrigerator is operating in Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.
Seasonal Energy Savings
- Lower energy usage based on time period.

Using the Smart Grid Function

This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response signals.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator display and control its power consumption according to the signal.

The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as product performance is maintained. If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.

Delay Appliance Load (DAL)

The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period.

This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR)

The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.

When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Override Smart Grid Mode

To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.

When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app.
