This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury
or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the
word "DANGER", "CAUTION" or "WARNING'( These words mean:
You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.
You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury
-- or damage to the product.
All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what
can occur if the instructions are not followed.
To reduce the risk of fire, elecfrical shock or personal
injury, the following precau¢ion measures should be
followed:
• NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the
power cord, always grip the plug firmly and disconnect
it directly from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all faulty or damaged
service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or
abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the
plug.
• When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll
over the electrical cord.
* DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible
liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other
electrical appliance.
• DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from
the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause
serious injury to them and damage to the product.
Keep your fingers away from areas in which they
can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and
cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children
are near.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair
services be performed by a qualified professional.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid
contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while
being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the power from the light
bulb circuit.
• Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they
could explode after freezing and cause damage.
For your safety, this product should be properly
grounded. Have a qualified professional check the
electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground
connection.
• Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize
this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.
• Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold
surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the
skin could become adhered to these surfaces.
In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid
contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
or with the heating mechanism that discharges the
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the
ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is
connected.
• DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.
The United States Department of Agriculture in Home
and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
'(.You may refreeze food that has thawed if they contain
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)'(
'(..Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is
discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be
frozen or consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream
should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to
consume".
"Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the
food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The quality of red meat is less affected than other foods.
Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their quality'(
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced
sensory oF mental capacity, oF persons with lack of experience oF know-how, unless they have supervision oF instruction
in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to

IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must
be properly grounded. Have a qualified electrician
check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is
grounded properly.
/-
3 prong
grounding
plug
3 prong
grounding type
wall receptacle
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use
It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for
this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be
disconnected with a switch.
Do not use an extension cable. It is your responsibility
and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of
an adequately grounded three-prong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.
NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light
bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the
power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in
and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.
USE OF EXTENSION CABLES
We do not recommend the use of extension cables.
However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable,
it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in
the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports
three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current
support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.
The use of an extension cable will increase the amount
of space needed behind the refrigerator.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current
should only be 115 V N 60 Hz, AC or 127 V N 60 Hz,
AC (according to the National rating). This provides
the best performance and prevents an overload which
could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables.
REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
our service center or qualified LG technician to avoid
any risk.

CLOSINGANDALiGNiNGTHEDOORS
Closing the Doors
Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unstable or if you would like the doors to close more
easily, simply adjust the inclination of the refrigerator by
following the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Remove the base grille (Refer to the section on
"Installation of Base Grille").
3. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws,
turning clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator
and counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several
turns to adjust it to the inclination you would like.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws.
This will make it easier to adjust the screws.
Aligning the Doors
To adjust the height of the doors, use the wrench
(Included with the User Manual) to adjust the bolt in
the door hinge (counter clockwise to raise or clockwise
to lower)

SPACEPLUS ICE SYSTEM
CAUTION
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment
door and dispenser chute. You could break some-
thing 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 ex-
tra 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 com-
partment. 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 refrigera-
tor 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.
CAUTION
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.
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,
slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as
shown.
i
I
m
To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the bin dur-
ing replacement to avoid contact with the icemaker.
NOTE: Avoid touching the Ice-detecting sensor
when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
24
AUTOMATICICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or 12
ice cubes (depending on your device) at a time, above
100 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 (0). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be 20 and 120psi 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 Ice
Maker 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.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is

El CAUTION
• 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 2
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 call your Service
Center. Refer to the Warranty Card to obtain the
telephone number of the Service Center near you
(24 hours a day, 3(>5 days a year).

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding
food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in
the
previous section should be correct for normal
household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is cold to your liking and ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance. The higher the number 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.
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait
24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the table below as a guide.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For more information on how to prepare food to
be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be
stored consult a frozen food guide or cook book.
Packaging
A great freezing depends on how great you package the
food. When you seal the package make sure you remove
all excess air and do not allow humidity. A package that
is incorrectly sealed will result in the transmission of bad
odors, contaminants inside your refrigerator and will
26
Packaging Recommendations:
Use sealed plastic containers.
Use plastic containers with a smooth surface.
Package with aluminum foilof high resistance.
Wrap with paper layered with plastic.
Use water proof plastic.
Use recommended plastic bags to store frozen foods.
Follow these packaging or container instructions in order
to reach the best freezing
REFRIGERATOR SECTION
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelving of your refrigerator can be adjusted to
comply with your storage necessities; Depending on
the model you have in can include glass shelving or
wired shelving. The storing of your foods together and
adjusting the shelving to different heights will ease to
help you locate what you need. This also helps your
refrigerator to stay shut longer which will save you energy.
Do not use:
• Bread Wrapping.
• Plastic container not safe for storing.
• Containers without lids or seals.
• Waxed paper or waxed plastic.
• Thin wrapping paper or not water proof.
IMPORTANT: While your refrigerator glass shelving are
cold do not clean with hot or warm water. The glass
shelving may break if exposed to rapid temperature
changes or hard impacts. For your safety the glass
shelving are made out of tempered glass so when at
breaking they will fracture into tiny fragments.
Freezing
NOTE: Be careful while moving or relocating the shelves
they are heavy. If moving the shelves is required keep in
mind to locate them in a safe environment to prevent
them from breaking.
For the maximum use of your freezer do not store excess
food. Do not introduce a large amount of unfrozen foods
that cannot be frozen within 24 hours (no more than
2 - 3 pounds or ,91 kg - 1,36 kg of food per square
inch of space in the freezer). Sufficient space must be
left in order for the air to circulate properly around the
packages. Leave enough space in order to close your
refrigerator with out difficulty.
Adjusting Shelves
Remove the shelves and adjust them to your convenience.
• Removing Shelves
Incline the front of the shelf in the direction indicated by
figure 1 and lift in the direction indicated by figure 2. Pull
the shelf towards you.
Storage times can vary depending on the type and
quality of the food, the way its package, or packaging
container used, (in comparison to air and humidity), and
the temperature it being stored in. Ice crystals formed
inside your package are normal it indicates the air and
humidity inside your package have condensed.
NOTE: Let warm foods cool off at room temperature
for approximately 30 rain, then wrap accordingly with
the methods mention above and freeze. By letting your
warm foods cool off before you introduce them to your
freezer it will save you energy.
SUFFOCATING DANGER
Adequate ventilation is required when using dry ice.
Dry ice is Carbon Dioxide (C02). When it evaporates it
produces oxygen, causing dizziness, slight headaches,
unconsciousness or death. Do not inhale these vapors
and properly ventilate the room while you use dry ice.
• Replacing Shelves

POWER iNTERRUPTiONS
1. In case of a black out, call your electric company
and ask how long it will last.
2. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open
the refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:
• Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an
ice chest.
• Put 2 Ibs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use
gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.
This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.
• In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry
ice, consume your food as soon as possible.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected.
If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe,

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator might produce certain noises that your previous refrigerator did not. It is normal if you worry.
Most of the new sounds you will be hearing are actually normal and expected. Hard surfaces like walls or floor can
increase sounds and make them sound louder than they really are. The following list has a description of such sounds
along with their causes.
• The thawing timer will make a "click" sound when such
timer will start and finish. Temperature controlling
device will also make a "click" sound at the beginning
and ending of the refrigerator cycle.
oyou will hear a bell sound caused by the flow of the
refrigerant, water pipe or objects located on the superior
part of the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator is designed to work efficiently to
preserve your food at the desired temperature using
the least of energy. You will be able to hear a pulsing
sound coming from the ventilators and the evaporator.
The speed of the ventilator can speed up when you
open the refrigerator door.
• After each cycle you will hear a dripping sound clue to
the refrigerant liquid in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inner walls can cause
a slight popping sound.
You will hear a dripping sound caused during the
thawing cycle.
During the defrosting cycle the water might cause a
dripping sound.
You can hear some tight air sound over the capacitor
caused by the fan.
Running water can be heard during the defrosting
cycle.
Due to its low energy consumption design of the
refrigerator; the fans will remain of, while the on-off
switch activated the internal light of bin.

SMART DIAGNOSIS
(In some models).
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 refrigera-
tor, call 1-800-243-0000. 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 trouble-
shooting must be done without using Smart
Diagnosis.
Using Smarf Diagnosis
First, call 1-800-243-0000. 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 ractive it.)
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 Free-
zer Temperature button.
6.
Keep the phone in place until the tone trans-
mission has finished. This takes about 15
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.
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.
2. Open the right 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.
