BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
w 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:
wDANGER
You might be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wWARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wCAUTION
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
wWARNING
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 the power cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and 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 fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any repairs.
NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the 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 refrigerators 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 fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length.
It will cause electric shock or fire.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(CONT.)
• Do not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to remove odor.
• Install in places away from the fire such as the place
where flammable gas is leaked.
• 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.
• 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 refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
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.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Do not leave the shelves in
place, as children may climb
inside.
• Turn the discarded
refrigerator on its long side
to make it less likely to turn
over and fail on someone.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 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.
wWARNING
Keep away from moving drawers.
• Small children can be knocked down.
• Fingers and toes can be injured.
Use child lock in households with children.
( For further information refer to page 23. )
Do not sit or climb on
drawers.
• The refrigerator can tip over.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
wWARNING
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.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual properly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 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.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
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.
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
(USA), 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord having a grounding-type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 20 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
wWARNING
Connect to safe drinking water supply
only.
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi (1.4~8.4 kgf/cm
2
).
• If water pressure does not reach 20 psi
(1.4 kgf/cm
2
) or falls below, it is necessary to
purchase a separate pressure pump for normal
automatic icemaker and water dispensing operation.
• It is recommended that the total length of the water
feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m).
• Install the water supply line where it will not be
affected by heat.
• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer. Follow next 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 (2.8 kgf/cm
2
~
4.2 kgf/cm
2
, less than 2.0~3.0 sec to fill a cup of
7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi (1.4 kgf/cm
2
, more than
4 seconds 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.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before
you begin.
• If operating the refrigerator before installing the
water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF
position to prevent operation without water.
• All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
• It may take up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin
producing ice.
Tools Required
• Standard screwdriver
• 7/16-in. and 1/2-in. open-end wrenches or two
adjustable wrenches
• 1/4-in. nut driver
• 1/4-in. drill bit
• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1/4-in.
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with local plumbing codes.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-in. saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to.
Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
Cold Water Supply
• The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer
which is used as a water pressure regulator.
• The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water
line with water pressure between 20~120 psi
(1.4~8.4 kgf/cm
2
).
19
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the water
line, unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
• Turn off the main water supply and open the nearest
faucet to relieve pressure in the line. Opening an outside
faucet may help drain water from the line in the house.
• Find a 1/2-in. vertical COLD water pipe near the
refrigerator.
NOTE: A horizontal pipe will work, but the following
precaution must be taken: drill on the top of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and
also keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
• To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for
moving the refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-in. O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of the
copper tubing are cut square.
• Using a drill, drill a 1/4-in. hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
• Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-in.
drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully and evenly so the washer makes a
watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing,
especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you
are ready to connect the copper tubing.
• Slip the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto
the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the
compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare
nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will
suffice. Do not overtighten.
• Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,
and turn on the main water supply. Flush out the tubing
until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not
plugged into the wall outlet.
NOTE: If your refrigerator is equipped with an internal water

SPACEPLUS ICE SYSTEM
wCAUTION
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment
door and dispenser chute. You could break
something or injure yourself.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice bin
is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the
extra ice bin in the freezer compartment so the
icemaker can keep producing ice.
Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it.
Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker,
causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may
damage the icemaker.
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
not produce ice.
NOTE: If the On/Off switch on the icemaker is set to
Off for an extended 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 set to Off for
more than a few hours.
wCAUTION
While you handle the ice bin,
keep your hands out of blade.
The blade has sharp edges
could cause injury.
NOTE: To open or close the ice
room compartment, push or pull on
the handle.
NOTE: Avoid touching the Ice-detecting sensor
when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front
handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly
pull out the bin as shown.
1 To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant
the bin during replacement to avoid contact
with the icemaker.
2
Ice-detecting
Sensor
ENGLISH
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or
14 ice cubes (depending on your device) at a time,
above 80 cubes per 24-hour period. This quantity
may vary by circumstance, including freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings, freezer load, and other
operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic
icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be 20 and 120 psi on
models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter to make normal
amount and size of ices.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when ice
drops into the ice storage bin.
• Even when the water pipe is not connected and the
Icemaker is turned on, the water valve operates.
The noise is generated because the water pipe is
not connected, which does not mean the icemaker
is defective.
wWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
29
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
wCAUTION
• The first ice and water may include particles or odor
from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20
pieces) and purge the water line for 5 minutes after
installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods 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 an
Authorized Service Center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser.
Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser.
• The ice passage may also become blocked with frost if
only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that
accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break, and glass
fragments could be 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 hands out of the ice door
and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact an Authorized
Service Center. Call USA 1-800-243-0000
CANADA 1-888-LGCANADA (24 hours a day,
365 days a year) and select the option to locate an

STORING FOODS
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.
• How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food that spoils easily, such as
bananas and melons, at low temperatures.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot
food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and
lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store
in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from
evaporating and helps food to keep its flavor and
nutrition.
• Do not block air vents with food or containers.
Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the
refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the
doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, which causes temperatures
to rise.
• Never overload the door racks; overloading may
push against the inner racks and prevent the doors
from closing correctly.
Freezer compartment
• Do not store glass bottles in the freezer
compartment; glass may break when the contents
are frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed.
This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.
• Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially
those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass
products in the freezer compartment.
• Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer.
The egg box will break easily if it freezes.
Refrigerator compartment
• Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator
shelves; it could freeze from direct contact with
chilled air.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped
and packed food should be wiped to prevent
adjacent food from spoiling.
NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator 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 the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.

NOTE: Allow the freezer to warm so the cleaning
cloth will not stick.
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and
warm water. Mix 2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. of water
(26 g soda to 1 L of water). Be sure the baking soda
dissolves completely so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a spray nozzle to clean
the interior.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Storage
During average-length vacations, you will
probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in
operation. Place freezable items in the freezer for
longer life.
When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove
all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to
prevent mold and mildew. Be certain the stored
refrigerator does not present a child entrapment
danger.
Moving
Unload the refrigerator to move it. (This is probably
not necessary when pulling it out to clean behind it.)
Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room
temperature, and dry the inside before closing the
doors to pack it for moving. To avoid damaging the
height-adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the
base.
Power Failure
Most power failures that are corrected within an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
Water may drip from the ice bin during a power
outage. To prevent this, remove the ice bin, discard
all of the ice, towel dry, and replace.

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
It is recommended that you replace the filter
approximately every 6 months, when the water filter
indicator reaches 0 months, or when the ice and
water dispenser noticeably decreases out-put.
Pull out the filter cartridge.
NOTE : When opened at a full angle the
cartridge should come out easily.
.

Press the push button to open the filter cover.
NOTE : Replacing the filter causes a small
amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to
drain. Place a cup under the filter hole to
catch any waste.

• Below 0°F is recommended temperature setting of
the freezer compartment for normal ice
production. If the freezer temperature is set at a
warmer temperature, then the ice will produce at a
slower rate.
• If the doors of the unit are opened often, the cold
air will escape which will prevent the unit from
maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the
temperature can help, as well as not opening the
doors as frequently.
