Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

  • Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
  • The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet. 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.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door Alignment.)

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Measuring the Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall as well as on the sides of the refrigerator and adjacent walls or objects

Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi ( 138 – 827 kPa ) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi ( 276 – 827 kPa ) on models with a water filter. If the water pressure does not reach the minimum required pressure, a separate booster pump may be required for normal automatic icemaker and cool water dispensing operation.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

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 (276 - 413 kPa, or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kg/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz 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 issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
  • All installations must be by local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

  • Copper 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. Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26 ft (8 m). Be careful to avoid getting a kink in the tube. If the tube is longer than 26 ft (8 m), it may cause the water feed to malfunction.

  • 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, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

  • Shut off 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.

Water Line Installation Instructions

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

1. SHUT OFF 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 to 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. 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.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

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 floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

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

8. 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.

9. 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.

a. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

b. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.

c. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Tighten any connections that leak

11. PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

12. START THE ICEMAKER

The ice maker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (–9°C) or below.

Turning On The Power

1. Plug in the refrigerator

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs— one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front to back or side-to side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push backward back the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

2. Open both doors again 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 counterclockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

Door Alignment

If the doors are still uneven after the refrigerator has been leveled, finish adjusting the doors by following the instructions below:

Adjusting tools: 5/16” (8mm) wrench and 3/4” (19mm) wrench.

  • Using a 3/4” (19mm) wrench, turn the keeper nut counterclockwise to loosen the keeper nut.
  • Using a 5/16” (8mm) wrench, turn the adjustment hinge pin clockwise or counterclockwise to level the refrigerator door.
  • After leveling the door, turn the keeper nut clockwise to tighten it.

HOW TO USE

Before Use

Clean the refrigerator

Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

Connect the power supply.

Check if the power supply is connected before use.

Read the “Turning On The Power” section.

Turn off the icemaker if the refrigerator is not yet connected to the water supply.

Plug the power plug of the refrigerator into the grounded electric outlet and then turn off the automatic icemaker

This applies only to certain models.

Wait for the refrigerator to cool.

Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it.Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

The refrigerator makes a loud noise after the initial operation.

This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature lowers.

Open refrigerator and freezer doors to ventilate the interior.

The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first . Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator and freezer doors for ventilation.

Control Panel

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the 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.

Airflow

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator.

Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow diagram below.)

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.)

Preparing for Vacation

Set the Ice ON/OFF button to the Ice Off mode and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

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

Power Failure

During a power failure, ice may drop into the freezer compartment. Remove the ice storage bin and discard all the ice. Dry the storage bin and reinstall it. Once power is restored, crushed ice will be selected by default.

Automatic Icemaker (continued)

  • 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 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
  • Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
  • Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
  • If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a qualified service center. Do not use ice or water until the problem is corrected.
  • Keep children away from the dispenser.
  • Children may play with or damage the controls.
  • 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.
  • Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
  • 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.
  • Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.
  • Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
  • To avoid personal injury, keep hand your s out of the ice door and passage.

Storing Food

Food Preservation Location

Each compartment inside the refrigerator is designed to store different types of food.

Store your food in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.

Food Storage Tips

The following tips may not be applicable depending on the model.

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 the date code to ensure freshness.

  • 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 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 the fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed 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 vegetable drawer.
  • Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
    • Place in plastic bags plastic containers and store in vegetable drawers.
  • Fish
    • Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
  • Leftovers
    • Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.
  • Ice Cream
    • When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door bins.

Storing Frozen Food

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 lbs. 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.

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 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

SMART DIAGNOSIS

Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.

If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal sounds similar to fax machines.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless your refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done without using Smart Diagnosis.

USING SMART DIAGNOSISTM

First, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.

1. Lock the display. To lock the display, press and hold the Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.)

2. Open the refrigerator door

3. Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call center.

4. Press and hold the Freezer button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.

5. After you hear three beeps, release the Freezer button.

6. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about three seconds, and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Product Questions

How do I unclog the ice dispenser chute?

Eliminate the front of ice fragments by removing the ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice fragment buildup.

Make sure that the refrigerator doors are closed before attempting to dispense ice.

Why are ice crystals and frost forming on my frozen food?

When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment The increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

How long will it take for my ice bin to fill completely?

Once the ice supply in the bin has been completely exhausted, it may take up to 90 minutes before additional ice is available, and approximately 72 hours to completely refill the bin.

Why does my ice and water taste unusual?

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:

  • Approximately every 6 months.
  • When thfiltersri filter indicator turns on.
  • When the water dispenser output decreases.
  • When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

If your refrigerator was recently installed, dispense 2.5 gallons of water use for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the en2.5-gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
