Smart Grid Function

When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save energy during peak usage periods.

• You can override the Smart Grid function any time (using the Smart Grid button or application).
• To use the Smart Grid function, you need to register your application with your electric utility company, provided that your electric utility company supports the function. In other words, the Smart Grid function will not be available if your electric utility company does not support the function or does not have the capability to support the function.

Smart Grid Application Features

• Smart Saving_Demand Response

- You can lower energy usage based on Demand Response (DR) signals from the utility company. If the refrigerator is operating in Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.

• Seasonal Energy Savings

- Lower energy usage based on time period.

Using the Smart Grid Function

This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response signals.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator display and control its power consumption according to the signal. The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.

Delay Appliance Load (DAL)

The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period.

This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

• When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
• DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR)

The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.

• When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.
• TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Override Smart Grid Mode

To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.

When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app.

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

Plastic Parts (Covers and Panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use glass cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

Condenser Coils

Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or crevice attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Air Filter

Reusing the Air Filter

You can remove the odors absorbed by the air filter and reuse the filter.

1. To remove the air filter, pull out the upper fridge drawer.

2. Unscrew the screw at the air filter.

3. Press on the hooks at the air filter and then take it out.

• Use of unauthorized water filters may result in product malfunction, water leakage or water quality issues, which will not be covered under the product warranty.

CAUTION

• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumber if uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100 °F (37.8 °C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40 °F (4.4 °C).
• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
• To protect it from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 33° F.
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free from leaks.

Replacing the Water Filter

• Replace the water filter:

- Approximately every six months.

- When the Water Filter LED turns on.

- When the water dispenser output decreases.

• To purchase a replacement water filter:

- Visit your local dealer or distributor

- Search using "water filter" on lg.com

- Use replacement cartridge: LT1000P, LT1000PC, LT1000PCS or ADQ747935**

1. If the top shelf, located below the water filter, is in the highest position, it will need to be removed prior to replacing the water filter.

To remove any shelf, tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it. Pull the shelf out.

2. Pinch the sides to open the water filter cover.

3. Pull the water filter downward and turn it counterclockwise before pulling it out.

Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold hole.

NOTE

• Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
• Wrap a cloth around the front end of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent any remaining water from spilling out of the water filter.

4. Replace with a new water filter.

Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove the protective cover from the orings. With the water filter tabs in the horizontal position, push the new water filter into the manifold hole and turn it clockwise until it stops.

5. Close the water filter cover. The cover will click when closed correctly.

6. After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system.

NOTE Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.

7. After changing the filter, press and hold the Water Filter button for three seconds to reset the indicator light.

CAUTION LG strongly recommends that you use LGauthorized water filters to prevent water quality issues, water leakage and appliance malfunction.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the best temperature settings for my refrigerator and freezer?

A: The default setting for the refrigerator is 37° Fahrenheit (3° Celsius). The default setting for the freezer is 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius). Adjust these settings as necessary to keep food at desired temperatures. Milk should be cold when stored on the inner shelf of the refrigerator. Ice cream should be firm and ice cubes should not melt in the freezer. To switch the display from Fahrenheit to Celsius, press and hold the Freezer and Refrigerator buttons until you hear a beep and the settings in the display change.

Q: How do I set the refrigerator and freezer temperatures?

A: Continually press the Refrigerator or Freezer button on the control panel until the desired temperature appears. The numbers will cycle from highest to lowest and then return to the highest again with continuous pressing.

Q: Why do I hear a buzzing noise from my refrigerator periodically?

A: This may happen if you do not have a water source attached to your refrigerator and the icemaker is turned on. If you do not have a water source attached to the back of the refrigerator you should turn the icemaker off.

Q: Why does the icemaker tray look crooked?

A: This is a normal part of the icemaker cycle. The icemaker tray may appear level or with a slight tilt. The change in position is to assist in the freezing process.

Q: My refrigerator is powered on and the controls are working, but it’s not cooling and the display shows “OFF” (see below). What is wrong?

A: The refrigerator is in Display Mode. The Display Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF is displayed on the control panel and the display remains on for 20 seconds. With either refrigerator door opened, press the Ice Plus button 3 times consecutively while pressing the Refrigerator button. The control panel beeps and the temperature settings display to confirm that Display Mode is deactivated. Use the same procedure to activate Display Mode.

Q: How do I change the Craft Ice™ settings?

A: Press the Craft Ice button repeatedly to scroll through the 3 ICE, 6 ICE and OFF modes. For clearer ice, select the 3 ICE mode. For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode.
