Leveling and Door Alignmenf

Leveling

After installing, ptug 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:

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 wrench (included with the Owner's

Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to

adjust the height. Turn it to the right to raise or

to the left to lower the height.

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.

_ NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an

open-end wrench will suffice.

Do not over-tighten.

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.

Storing Frozen Food

d!)NOTE "/

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook J

for further information about preparing foodJ

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

HOWTO USE 35

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

44 SMART DIAGNOSIS

SMART DIAGNOSIS TM

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, can 1-800-243-0000. Only use the

Smart Diagnosis TM 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 TM 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 TM.
