precautions should be followed, including the following.
SAVE THESE INSTUCTIONS
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
y
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than
y
those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless
y
they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal
y
procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of
refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
2
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt,
consult your dealer.

Unpacking Your Refrigerator
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
y
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
y
the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be
sure to protect the floor. The refrigerator
has rollers. Wind in the leveling feet and
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the
refrigerator when trying to move it, as
floor damage could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
y
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator behind the base grille.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing a small
amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with
your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. Older timber floors can flex and cause
door alignment limitations.. If required, adjust
the front leveling legs to compensate for
unevenness of the floor. The front should
be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door
closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by
tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling
legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right
to lower it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported
structure is not recommended.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 240 Volts, 50 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp
area.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between
150kpa to 500kpa on models without
a water filter and between 200kpa ~
500kpa on models with a water filter.

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:
1
Remove the base grille. Refer to the Base
Grille Installation section.
2
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.
3
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 mount.
4
Refit the front base grille.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end spanner will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.
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,
follow the instructions below to align the doors
evenly:
Use the appropriate spanner (included with the
Owner’s Manual) to turn the nut in the door
hinge to adjust the height. To the right to raise
or to the left to lower the height.

HOW TO USE
Ice-detecting
sensor
CAUTION
When handling the ice bin,
keep hands away from the
icemaker tray area to avoid
personal injury.
In-Door Ice Bin
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin
1
Gently pull the handle to open the ice
compartment.
2
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the
front handle, slightly lift the lower part,
and slowly pull out the bin as shown.
Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin
1
Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while
slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the
icemaker.
2
Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor
when replacing the ice bin. See the label
on the ice compartment door for details.
CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice
y
compartment door and dispenser chute.
Failure to do so may result in damage or
personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when
y
the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more
ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin
in the freezer compartment. During use,
the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the
ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce
this problem.
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
y
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed
y
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 stop
producing ice.
If the O
y
N/OFF switch on the icemaker is
set to OFF for an extended period of 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.
26
HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
* Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker can produce 14
cubes per cycle—approximately 52~140 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other operating
conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
y
installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin
y
is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.
The water pressure must be between 150kpa
y
to 500kpa on models without a water filter and
between 200kpa and 500kpa on models with a
water filter to produce the normal amount and
size of ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-
y
detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.
Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times
for proper operation.

HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
(continued)
The first ice and water dispensed may
y
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
y
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in
y
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
y
water filter and water supply. If the problem
continues, contact an LG authorised service
center. Do not use the ice or water until the
problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
y
Children could play with or damage the
controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with
y
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
y
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before filling it
y
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
y
narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from
y
the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the
outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of
y
the ice door and passage.
Never remove the dispenser cover.
y
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn
y
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
CAUTION
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
When the water supply will be shut off
y
for several hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more
y
than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used
y
for several days.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as
y
the icemaker fills with water. If the
power switch is in the ON (I) position,
it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing,
move the power switch to OFF (O).
You will hear the sound of cubes
y
dropping into the bin and water running
in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and
shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified technician drain
the water supply system to prevent serious
property damage due to flooding caused by
ruptured water lines or connections.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the
OFF
position.
NOTE
Keeping the power switch in the ON
(I) position before the water line is
connected can damage the icemaker.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied anytime
the icemaker on/off switch is turned to
the OFF (O) position.

Temperature Controlled Pantry Drawer
(some models)
Provides storage space with a variable
temperature control that keeps the
compartment at a different temperature
than the refrigerator. It is a convenient place
to store sandwiches or meat to be cooked.
CAUTION
Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator.
y
The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food
y
packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot
y
of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation
with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate
y
the refrigerator and raise its temperature. It can also add to your electricity cost.
It may be normal to see some minor traces of condensation on the outer left side of the
y
refrigerator under extremely high humidity conditions due to the ice maker air flow ducts.
NOTE
If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should
y
be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the
freezer.
If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food,
y
empty out the ice bin and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to
prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.

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, rewrap tightly in
plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best
storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on 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
in a completely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy
Vegetables
Remove store wrapping and
trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold
water and drain. Place in plastic
bag or plastic container and
store in crisper.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish
in the freezer section if they
are not being consumed the
same day of purchase. It is
recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic
wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic
containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
Freezing
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 1~2 kg 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.

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 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 1300 54 2273. 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 1300 54 2273. 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

SMART DIAGNOSIS
NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone
y
while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get
y
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.
NOTE
Call quality differences by region may
y
affect the function.
Use the home telephone for better
y
communication performance, resulting in
better service.
Bad call quality either from a mobile or
y
home phone may result in poor data
transmission from your phone to the
diagnostics call centre, which could cause
Smart Diagnosis to not work properly.
