Connecting the Wafer 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.

_ Z_ CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage,

only connect the refrigerator water line to

a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting

the water line, make sure the icemaker power

switch is in the OFF (O) position.

-Z_ CAUTION -,

Do not install the icemaker tubing in

areas where temperatures fan below

. freezing

Water Pressure

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.

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 (2.8 kgf/cm 2~ 4.2

kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz

capacity).

--Z_ CAUTION -_

Wear eye prc)tection during installation

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm _ (takes

more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

• Check to see if 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 water pressure issues associated with

a reverse osmosis system persist, can a

licensed, qualified plumber.

• All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

Copper Tubing, 1A in, outer diameter, to

connect the refrigerator to the water

supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing

are cut square.

To determine how JJ

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 three

turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter)

to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wan after installation.

2CHOOSE 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.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE -/

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.

HOWTO USE 39

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

lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

bags

Follow package or container instructions for

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.

3 Press and hold the Freezer button for three

seconds while continuing to hold your

phone to the speaker.

\

\

After you hear three beeps, release the

Freezer button.

Keep the phone in place until the tone

transmission has finished. This takes about

3 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 abte to assist you in using the

information transmitted for analysis.

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 Open the refrigerator door.

Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front

of the speaker that is located on the right

side of the controi pad, when instructed to

do so by the can center.

-_ 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 malfunction.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to

contact a plumber.

It is recommended that you replace the water

filter:

• Approximately every six months.

• When the water filter indicator turns on.

• When the water dispenser output decreases.

• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

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.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to

contact a plumber.

Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce

the water pressure below the minimum amount

and result in icemaker issues.

(Refer to the Water Pressure section.)

The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is

moved during insta%tion or cleaning resulting in

reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the water

supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.

the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production

will be affected.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment

to reach the desired temperature and for the

icemaker to begin making ice.

Locate the icemaker ON/OFF switch and confirm

that it is in the ON (1)position.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting

sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure

that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper

operation.

Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and

turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff

arm, make sure that the arm moves freely. If

your icemaker is equipped with the electronic ice
