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.

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.

Do not sit or climb on

drawers.

• Refrigerator can tip over.

ENGLISH

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 p.s.i. (1.4~8.4 kgf/cm

) on models without

a water filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i.

(3~8.5 kgf/cm

) on models with a water filter.

• If water pressure does not reach 20 psi

(1.4 kgf/cm

) 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

4.2 kgf/cm

, less than 2.0~3.0sec 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

, more than

4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz 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

) on models without a water filter

and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3~8.5 kgf/cm

) on

models with a water filter.

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

filter, an external in-line water filter should not be used.

• Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

• Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the

end of the tubing as shown.

• Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as

far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

IMPORTANT: Tighten any connections that leak.

Open the water at the shutoff valve.

• Plug in the refrigerator.

• Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so

it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or

against the wall.

• Check for leaks.

• Before connecting the water line to house, purge the

house line for 2 minute.

NOTE: It may take a few seconds for water to begin to flow

as the internal tank fills and air clears from the lines.

• Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

• Set the icemaker switch to the ON position.

NOTE: The icemaker will not begin to operate until it

reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C).

It will then begin operation automatically.

NOTE: Throw away the first few batches of ice (about

20 pieces).

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.

so it does not move to the right or left.

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 following instructions:

wCAUTION

• To avoid possible injury or product or property

damage, you will need two people to perform the

following instructions.

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

Plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded

outlet, and move the refrigerator into its final

position. Remove the kick plate screws and

then the kick plate.

• Open the Freezer Drawer.

• Once the drawer is open, there is sufficient

clearance to remove the screws on top of

the kick plate.

NOTE: To replace the kick plate, place it into

position, and then insert and tighten the

screws.

Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch

(18mm) wrench or a flat blade screw driver.

Turn the leveling legs (CCW) to raise or (CW)

to lower the height of the front of the

refrigerator.

NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be

slightly higher than the back.

NOTE: If someone pushes backward against

the top of the refrigerator, weight is lifted off of

the leveling legs, which makes adjustment

easier.

Open both doors to make sure they close

easily. If not, raise the leveling legs higher by

turning both clockwise the same amount.

Once the refrigerator is level, replace the kick-

plate.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely

designed with two fresh food doors. Either

door can be independently opened or closed.

You will have to exert slight pressure on the

doors to close them completely.

NOTE: In order not to move the refrigerator

back and forth, fix it with the 'Adjust' to the

floor to install and use.

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.

Ice-detecting

Sensor

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

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

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 (O). 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.

wWARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic

icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is

plugged in.

ENGLISH

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 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 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.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. However, clean both sections about

once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills

immediately.

• Unplug the refrigerator.

• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and

crispers.

• 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 thoroughly dry all surfaces.

• Plug in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or

flammable fluids can scratch or damage plastic

covers or panels.

Cleaning the Exterior

For models with a stainless steel exterior, use a

commercially available stainless steel cleaner in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

You may also use a clean sponge or soft cloth and

a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive

or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing

petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts such as door

liners or gaskets.

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

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 easily come out.

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.

1 Pull the cartridge downward. 2

1. Remove the old cartridge.

SMART DIAGNOSIS

ENGLISH

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, 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 troubleshooting must be

done without using Smart Diagnosis.

Using Smart 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 reactivate it.)

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.

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 Freezer

Temperature button.

6. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission

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.

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 to not work properly.

switch. It may have an “I” and “O” on it. The “I”

position is on. If it is off, please flip it to the on

position.

• Foreign substance or frost on theIce-detecting

sensor stops making ices. To keep making ice,

clean up the surface of Ice-detecting sensor with

clean and soft fabric.

• Below -1°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.

• The door that is not closed properly, makes the

Freezer temperature high and icemaker will make

ices slowly.

• The compartment door, that is not closed properly,

make the compartment temperature high and

icemaker makes ices slowly.
