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.
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.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 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 20~120
psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm²

Connecting the Water 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.
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.
CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
18
INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
CAUTION
Wear eye protection during installation
to prevent injury.
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or
138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827
kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water
filter.
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 the 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 (276~414 kPa or
2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a
cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/
cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz
or 198 cc capacity):
Check to see if the sediment filter in
y
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse
y
osmosis system to refill after heavy
usage.
If the issue concerning water pressure
y
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
y
with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
Copper Tubing,
y
¼ in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.
To determine how
y
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.
Power drill.
y
½ in. or adjustable
y
wrench.
Flat blade and Phillips
y
head screwdrivers.
Two ¼ in. outer
y
diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)
to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and
the refrigerator water valve.
NOTE
A self piercing saddle type water valve
should not be used.
If your existing copper water line has a
y
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.
Shutoff valve
y
to connect to the cold
water 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.
19
INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
NOTE
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.
Water Line Installation Instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently used drinking water line.
1
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.
2
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.
3
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a ¼ 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 ¼ in.
hole may result in reduced ice production
or smaller cubes.
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.

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:
1
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.
2
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 amount.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.

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 icemaker is turned OFF for
y
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.
33
HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
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 will produce
50-80 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.
Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff
y
(feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make
sure the feeler arm is clean at all times for
proper operation.
To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus
y
function. The function increases both ice
making and freezing capabilities.

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.

NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when
the Ice On/Off button is set to the Off
mode.
NOTE
Keeping the icemaker on before the
water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied any time
the Ice On/Off button is turned Off.

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 of
y
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 too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

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 coldest
milk, place containers on
interior shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton 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
or aluminum foil, or store in
plastic containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen 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 lbs. 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.
38
HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
y
lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
y
bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable
to meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different
heights will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Assembling the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the rear
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or food
spilling.

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 button for three
seconds while continuing to hold your phone
to the speaker.
5
After you hear three beeps, release the
Freezer button.
6
Keep the phone in place until the tone
transmission has finished. This takes about
6 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.
Should you experience any problems with your
refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting
data via your telephone to the LG service
center. This allows you to speak 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.
