14 INSTALLATION

Connecting fhe 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 damage, 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

switch is in the OFF (O) position.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

Wafer Pressure

You will need a cold water supply. The water

pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on

models without a water filter and between 40

and 120 psi on models with a water filter. If the

water pressure does not reach the minimum

required pressure, a separate booster pump

may be required for normal automatic icemaker

and cool ,water dispensing operation.

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 these 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/cm2

N 4.2 kgf/cm2, or less than 2.0N3.0 sec. to fill a

cup of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes

more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz 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.

• All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

Whaf You Will Need

• Copper Tubing, 14 in. 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). 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. Keep the total

length of the feed water pipe tube within

26 ft (8 m). Be careful to avoid getting a

kink in the tube. If the tube is longer than

26 ft (8 m), it may cause the water feed to

malfunction.

the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator water valve.

INSTALLATION 15

If your existing copper ,water line

has a flared fitting 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 off

the flared fitting with a tube cutter

and then use a compression fitting.

Shufoff valve fo connecf fo fhe cold

wafer line. The shutoff valve should

have a water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the

point of connection to the COLD

WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff

valves are included in many water

supply kits. _

Before

purchasing,

make sure

a saddle-

type valve complies with your local

plumbing codes.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard:

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is battery powered, double insulated

or grounded in a manner that will prevent the

hazard of electric shock.

WARNING

• When using any electrical device (such

as a power drill) during installation, be

sure the device is battery powered,

double insulated 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.

SHUT OFFTHE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the

pressure on the line.

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.

DRILLTHE HOLE FORTHEVALVE

Drill a 14 in. 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 14 in. hole may

result in reduced ice production or smaller

cubes.

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.

18 INSTALLATION

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:

NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16" (18mm) wrench

or flat blade screwdriver.

1 Remove the base grille. For instructions,

see Installing the Base Grille, page 11.

Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise

to raise that side of the refrigerator or

clockwise to lower it. It may take several

turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the

top of the refrigerator takes some weight off of the

leveling legs.This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

Read the "Turning On The Power" section.

Turn off the icemaker if the refrigerator is not yet connected to

the water supply.

Turn off the automatic icemaker and then plug the power plug of the refrigerator

into the grounded electric outlet.

* This is applicable only to certain models.

CAUTION

Running the automatic icemaker before connecting it to the water supply

may cause the refrigerator to malfunction.

Wait for the refrigerator to cool.

Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food

in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper

cooling.

CAUTION

inside the refrigerator.

The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.

This is normal. The volume ,will decrease as the temperature lowers.

Open refrigerator and freezer doors to ventilate the interior.

The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any adhesive

tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator and freezer doors for

ventilation.

20 HOWTO USE

Confrol Panel

The refrigerator control functions as the ther-

mostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and

freezer sections). The colder the setting, the

longer the compressor ,will run to keep the tem-

perature colder. The freezer control adjusts the

cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower tempera-

ture keeps more cold air in the freezer compart-

ment to make it colder.

Airflow

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh

food section and back again through air vents in

the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not

to block vents while packing your refrigerator.

Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the

refrigerator temperature to become too warm

or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow

diagram below.)

iMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections,

any odors formed in one section will transfer to

the other. You must thoroughly clean both sec-

tions to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food,

wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Stor-

age Guide section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you

may see the freezer door open and close again

due to pressure from internal air flow.

HOWTOUSE 23

Automatic Icemaker

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent

to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 5

cubes per cycle - approximately 90 cubes in a

24-hour period, depending on freezer compart-

ment temperature, room temperature, number

of door openings and other operating conditions.

• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly

installed refrigerator to begin making ice.

Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

• Ice making stops when the ice storage

bin fills to the level of the shutoff arm.

When full, the ice bin holds approximately

6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set

the power switch to OFF 10}. To turn on

the automatic icemaker, set the power

switch to ON (I).

• The ,water pressure must be between 20

and 120 psi on models without a water

filter and between 40 and 120 psi on

models with a water filter to produce the

normal amount and size of ice cubes.

• The ice cube size selector button is used

to compensate for high or low water pres-

sure. If you have low water pressure com-

ing to your refrigerator, you may need to

select the highest setting. For high water

pressure, select a lower setting.

WARNING ........................................................................................................................................

Personal Injury Hazard

erty damage due to flooding caused by ruptured

,water lines or connections.

24 HOWTOUSE

Automatic Icemaker (continued)

CAUTION ............................................................................................................................

• The first ice and water dispensed may

include particles or odor from the ,water

supply line or the water tank.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice

(about 24 cubes). This is also necessary

if the refrigerator has not been used for a

long time.

• Never store beverage cans or other items 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 prob-

lem continues, contact a qualified service

center. Do not use the ice or water until

until the problem is corrected.

• Keep children away from the dispenser.

Children may play with or damage the

controls.

• The ice passage may become blocked with

frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove

the frost that accumulates by removing

the ice bin and clearing the passage with a

rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can

also help prevent frost buildup.

• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

collect ice. Such containers may chip or

break resulting in glass fragments 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.

Sforing Frozen Food

y_ NOTE

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing 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 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.

..... NOTE .....................................................................................................................................................................

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves

energy.

28 HOWTO USE

36 SMART DIAGNOSIS

SMART DIAGNOSIS

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.

4 Press and hold the Freezer button for three

seconds while continuing to hold your phone

to the speaker.

If you experience problems ,with your refrigera-

tor, call 1-800-243-000 in USA (1- 888-542-2623

in Canada). Only Use the Smart Diagnosis TM

feature when instructed to do so by the LG call

center agent. The transmission sounds that you

will hear are normal sounds similar to fax

machine.

Smart Diagnosis TMcannot 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.

5 After you hear three beeps, release the

Freezer button.

Keep the phone in place until the tone

transmission has finished. This takes about

three 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.

USING SMART DIAGNOSIS TM

First, call 1-800-243-0000 (1- 888-542-2623 in

Canada). Only use the Smart DiagnosisSMfeature

when istructed to do so by the LG call center

agent.

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 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.

NOTE

• Call quality differences by region may

affect the function.

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 TMto malfunction.

TROUBLESHOOTING 37

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Product Questions

How do I unclog the ice dispenser

chute?

Eliminate the frost of ice fragments by re-

moving the ice bin and clearing the chute

with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice

can also help prevent frost or ice fragment

buildup.

Make sure that the refrigerator doors are

closed before attempting to dispense ice.

Why are ice crystals and frost forming

on my frozen food?

When the doors are opened often or for

long periods of time, warm, humid air

enters the compartment. This raises the

temperature and moisture level within the

compartment. Increased moisture will lead

to frost and condensation. To lessen the

effect, reduce the frequency and duration

of door openings.

How long will it take for my ice bin to

fill completely?

Once the ice supply in the bin has been

completely exhausted, it may take up

to 90 minutes before additional ice is

available, and approximately 24 hours to

completely refill the bin.

Why does my ice and water taste

unusual?

It is recommended that you replace the

water filter:

,, Approximately every 6 months.

,, When the water filter indicator turns on.

,, When the water dispenser output

decreases.

,, When the ice cubes are smaller than

normal.

If your refrigerator was recently installed,

dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for

approximately 5 minutes) to remove

trapped air and contaminants from the

system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5

gallon amount continuously. Depress and

release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30

seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each

compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and

confirm the proper temperature has been restored

once the defrost cycle has completed.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to

reach the desired temperature.

If the refrigerator ,was stored for a long period of

time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the

refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before

connectinq it to power.

Modern refrigerators require more operating time but

use less energy due to more efficient technology.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool

completely.

Adding food and opening the door warms the

refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer

in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order

to conserve energy, try to get everything you need

out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized

so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as

the food is removed. (Refer to the Feed Storage

Guide.)

Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all

the way, see the Doors will not close completely or

pop open section in Troubleshootinq.

The compressor will run longer under warm

conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F)

expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80%

of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to

run even more often. The refrigerator should not be

operated above 110°R
