WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following :
Power
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pun it
straight out from the outlet.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a safety hazard. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
• Do not use an uncertified power outlet.
• Unplug the power plug immediately in the event of a blackout or thunderstorm.
° Plug in the power plug with the power cord facing downward.
Installation
• Contact an authorized service center before you install or relocate the refrigerator.
• When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.
• Prior to use, ensure that you are connecting this product to a dedicated grounded electrical outlet
rated for use with this product (115V, 60Hz, AC only). It is the user's responsibility to replace a
standard 2-prong wall outlet with a standard 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.
Use
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or on the shelves in the
refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Do not hang on to or place heavy objects on the refrigerator's dispenser.
• Do not place heavy or dangerous objects (bottles with liquid) on the refrigerator.
• Do not put live animals inside the refrigerator.
• Do not allow children to climb into the product when it is in use.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane/LPG), ensure adequate ventilation and contact an authorized
service center before resuming use. Do not touch or disassemble the electrical outlet of the
refrigerator.
• In the event of a refrigerant leak, move flammable objects away from the refrigerator. Ensure
adequate ventilation and contact an authorized service center.
• Do not use or place flammable substances (chemicals, medicine, cosmetics, etc) near the refrigerator

WARNING

Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always 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,
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.
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.

The refrigerator should always be plugged
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

Flooring
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.

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. The 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

• 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.
• Foreign substances or frost on the icedetecting sensor can interrupt ice production.

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 the original carton on

Fruit

Do not wash or hull the fruit until it

fruit in its original container, in a

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap

Food

NOTE

The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight

noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.

Frozen

-/

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook I
for further information about preparing food I
for freezing or food storage times.

J

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.

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

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside
of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking
soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda
to 1 liter water). Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the

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 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.
