READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of
refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
2
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt,
consult your dealer.
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
y
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
y
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
y
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures.
y
When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
WARNING
Use drinkable water for ice making.

Please read the following installation instructions first after purchasing this product or transporting
it to another location.
1 Unpacking your
fridge
2 Choosing the proper
location
3 Leveling and Door
Alignment
SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
y
Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating
y
freely.
Do not set the temperature of fridge lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature
y
sensor.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food,
y
and lead to higher electric bills.

INSTALLATION
Choosing the Proper Location
The fridge should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 240 Volts, 50 Hz,
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.
Unpacking Your Fridge

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

18
HOW TO USE
Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the fridge in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted.
This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the fridge. For dated products, check
use by dates to ensure freshness.
Food How to
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 on
interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or prepare 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 fridge 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.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
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, aluminum foil, or plastic
containers with tight lids.
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 1 to 1.5kg. 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
Check a freezer food guide or a reliable
cookbook for further information about preparing
food for freezing or food storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
NOTE
Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any
kind as they can explode or shatter.
19
HOW TO USE
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
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 fridge and could
also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
y
lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
y
bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Fridge Shelves
The shelves in your fridge are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights
of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the fridge door is open which
will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Refitting the Shelf

SMART DIAGNOSIS
3
Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front
of the speaker that is located on the right
hinge of the fridge door, when instructed
to do so by the call center.
4
Press and hold the Freezer Temperature
button for three seconds while continuing
to hold your phone to the speaker.
5
After you hear three beeps, release the
Freezer Temperature button.
6
Keep the phone in place until the tone
transmission has finished. This takes about
3 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.
Should you experience any problems with
your fridge, 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 fridge,
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 and sound similar to a fax machine.
Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless
your fridge is connected to power. If your
fridge is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting
must be done without using Smart Diagnosis.
Using Smart Diagnosis
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 right fridge door.
SMART DIAGNOSIS
NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone
y
while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get
y
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.
NOTE
Call quality differences by region may
y
affect the function.
Use the home telephone for better
y
communication performance, resulting in
better service.
Bad call quality either from a mobile or
y
home phone may result in poor data
transmission from your phone to the
diagnostics call centre, which could cause
Smart Diagnosis to not work properly.
