20 INSTALLATION
Connecting the Wafer 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.
------_ CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damange,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line_ make sure the icemaker power
button is turned off.
.-_ CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi. If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can
install a booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure.
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 the 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 (276-414 kPa or
2.8-4.2 kgf/cm =,less than 2.0-3.0 sec. to fill acup
of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).
..._//_X CAUTION -,
Wear eye protection during installation /
to prevent injury.
J
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 4.0 sec 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 issue concerning water pressure
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
Ati installations must be in accordance
with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
Copper Tubing, 1A in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.
To determine how JJ
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.

or grounded in a manner that will
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
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
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.
3 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a _Ain. 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 _Ain.

24 INSTALLATION
Leveling and Door Alignmenf
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:
Door Alignment
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 your doors is uneven,
foltow 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 it to the right to raise or
to the left to lower the height.
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.
d} NoTE 1
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.
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 to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.

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 Ibs. 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.

SMART DIAGNOSIS 41
SMART DIAGNOSIS TM
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, catl 1-800-243-0000. Only use the
Smart Diagnosis TM feature when instructed
to do so by the LG can center agent. The
transmission sounds that you will hear are
normal and sound similar to a fax machine.
Smart Diagnosis TM 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 TM.
Using Smarf Diagnosis TM
First, call 1-800-243-0000. Only use the Smart
Diagnosis TM feature when instructed to do so
by the LG can 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 refrigerator door.
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.
Press and hold the
Freezer Temperature
button for three seconds
while continuing to
hold your phone to the
speaker.
After you hear three
beeps, release the Freezer Temperature
button,
Keep the phone in place until the tone
transmission has finished. 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 abte to assist
you in using the information transmitted
for analysis.
_ NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone
while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.
r---d_ NOTE
• Call quality differences by region may
affect the function.
• Use the home telephone for better
communication performance, resulting
in better service.
• Bad call quality may result in poor data
transmission from your phone to the
machine, which could cause Smart
Diagnosis TM to malfunction.
