Connecting the Water Line
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not covered by the
(Ice maker installed only)
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
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi on models without a wate
ter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a wat

If a reverse osmosis water
ltration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
If a reverse osmosis water
ltration 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 (0,14 y 0,41 MPa)
less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to

What You Will Need
Copper Tubing,
.
¼ in. (6.35 mm) 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).
(about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into three
turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter)
to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.

outer diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)
to connect the
the refrigerator water valve.
WARNING
Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.
WARNING
To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
ENGLISH
28
INSTALLATION
NOTE
A self piercing saddle type water valve
should not be used.
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.
If your existing copper water line has a
ared tting 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 o the ared
tting with a tube
cutter and then use a
compression tting.
Shuto valve
to connect to the cold
water line. The shuto valve should
have a water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32 in. (4 mm) at the
point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.
Saddle-type shuto valves are included
in many water
supply kits. Before
purchasing, make
sure a saddle-type
valve complies with
your local plumbing codes.
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 o any sediment from the water
pipe.
3
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a ¼ in. (6.35 mm) 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.
(6.35 mm) hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.

HOW TO USE
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 date code 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, re-wrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk,
place containers on interior shelf.
Eggs
Store in the original carton on
interior shelf, not on the 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 it in a completely
closed paper bag on a refrigerator
shelf.
Leafy
Vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear o bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in a plastic bag or
plastic container and store in the
crisper.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish
Store fresh sh and shellsh in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh sh and shellsh
the same day as purchased.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil or store in 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 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.
NOTE
Check a freezer 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.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both
sections about once a month to prevent odors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
General Cleaning Tips
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect the
power.
Remove all removable parts, such as
shelves, crispers, etc.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water. Do not
use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly.
Exterior
Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps
provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least
twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste
wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior,
use a clean, non-scratch sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth.
Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm
up so the 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 tablespoons of
baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda
to 1 liter water). Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches,
or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
Plastic Parts (covers and panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use glass
cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or ammable
uids. These can scratch or damage the
material.
Condenser Coils
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
WARNING
Do not use a cloth or sponge with a rough,
abrasive surface when cleaning the
interior and exterior of the refrigerator.
Do not place your hand on the bottom
surface of the refrigerator when
opening and closing it.
DANGER
Use non-ammable cleaner. Failure to do
so can result in re, explosion, or death.

Press and hold the Freezer button for three
seconds while continuing to hold your
phone to the speaker.
4
After you hear three beeps, release the
Freezer button.
5
Keep the phone in place until the tone
transmission has nished. 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
refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting
data via your telephone to the LG service
center. This allows you to speak 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
eective diagnosis.
If you experience problems with your
refrigerator, call 1-800-243-0000 in USA
(1-888-542-2623 in Canada). 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 refrigerator is connected to power. If
your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then
troubleshooting must be done without using
Smart Diagnosis.
Using Smart Diagnosis
First, call 1-800-243-0000 in USA (1-888-542-2623
in Canada). Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature
when instructed to do so by the LG call center
agent.
