ping position. Please reinstall shelves according

to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

Select a place where a water supply can

be easily connected for the automatic

icemaker.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be

leveled and installed on a solidly constructed

r. If required, adjust the leveling legs to

compensate for unev r. The

front should be slightly higher than the rear to

aid in door closing. 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 and Door

Alignment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a

platform or weakly supported structure is

not recommended.

and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa) on models

without a water ter and between 40 and

120 psi (276 and 827 kPa) on models with a

water lter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged

into its own individual properly grounded

electrical outlet.

This provides the best performance and

also prevents overloading house wiring

from overheated wires. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this

appliance be provided.

12 INSTALLATION

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs

to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 413 kPa,

or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz

capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes

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

yCheck to see if the sediment filter in

the reverse osmosis system is blocked.

Replace the filter if necessary.

yAllow the storage tank on the reverse

osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

yIf the issue concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

yAll installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

yCopper Tubing, 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

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. Keep the total

length of the feed water pipe tube within

26 ft (8 m). Be careful to avoid getting a

kink in the tube. If the tube is longer than

26 ft (8 m), it may cause the water feed to

malfunction.

yPower drill.

y½ in. or adjustable

wrench.

yFlat blade and Phillips

head screwdrivers.

yTwo ¼ in. outer

diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect

the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator water valve.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold

water supply.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to

prevent injury.

16 INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

yIf your existing copper water line

has a 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.

yShutoff valve 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.

NOTE

A self-piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard:

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.

17INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Water Line Installation Instructions

Install the shuto 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

o 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.

4 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shuto valve to the cold water

pipe with the pipe clamp.

5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten clamp or

you may crush the tubing.

6 ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water

line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in

the wall or oor (behind the refrigerator or

adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as

possible.

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.

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.

21HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Control Panel

The refrigerator control functions as the ther-

mostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and

freezer sections). The colder the setting, the

longer the compressor will run to keep the tem-

perature colder. The freezer control adjusts the

cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower tempera-

ture keeps more cold air in the freezer compart-

ment to make it colder.

Airflow

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh

food section and back again through air vents in

the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not

to block vents while packing your refrigerator.

Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the

refrigerator temperature to become too warm

or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow

diagram below.)

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections,

any odors formed in one section will transfer to

the other. You must thoroughly clean both sec-

tions to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food,

wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Stor-

age Guide section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you

may see the freezer door open and close again

due to pressure from internal air flow.

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 an

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

vegetable drawer.

Vegetables

with skins

(carrots,

peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in vegetable

drawer.

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.

Ice Cream When storing frozen food like ice

cream for a long period, place it on

the freezer shelf, not in the door bins.

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.

30 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:

yRigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

yStraight-sided canning/freezing jars

yHeavy-duty aluminum foil

yPlastic-coated paper

yNon-permeable plastic wraps

ySpecified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

bags

Follow package or container instructions for

General Cleaning Tips

yUnplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

yRemove all removable parts, such as

shelves, crispers, etc.

yUse a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water. Do not use

abrasive or harsh cleaners.

yHand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces

thoroughly.

Exterior

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least

twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste

wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

For products with a stainless steel exterior,

use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive

or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth.

Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm up

so the cloth will not stick)

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 surfaces of

the refrigerator.

Door Liners and Gaskets

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 window

sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids.

These can scratch or damage the

material.

Condenser Coils

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to

clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not

remove the panel covering the condenser coil

area.

CAUTION

yDo not use a rough cloth or sponge

when cleaning the interior and exterior

of the refrigerator.

yDo not place your hand on the bottom

surface of the refrigerator when opening

and closing.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

yBoth the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both sections

about once a month to prevent odors.

yWipe up spills immediately.

yAlways unplug the refrigeration before cleaning.

WARNING

Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do

so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

39SMART DIAGNOSIS

ENGLISH

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 e ective diagnosis.

1 Lock the display. To lock the display, press

and hold the Lock button for three seconds.

(If the display has been locked for over ve

minutes, you must deactivate the lock and

then reactivate it.)

2 Open the refrigerator door.

3 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 This takes about

three 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.

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 di erences by region may

aect 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 TM to malfunction.

First, call to the LG service center. Only use the

Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to

do so by the LG callcenter agent.

USING SMART DIAGNOSISTM

SMART DIAGNOSIS

If you experience problems with your refrigerator,

call to the LG service center. 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 sounds

similar to fax machine.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless

your refrigerator is connected to power. If your

refrigerator is unable to turn on, then trouble-

shooting must be done without using Smart

Diagnosis.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Product Questions

How do I unclog the ice dispenser chute?

Eliminate the frost of ice fragments by re-

moving the ice bin and clearing the chute

with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice

can also help prevent frost or ice fragment

buildup.

Make sure that the refrigerator doors are

closed before attempting to dispense ice.

Why are ice crystals and frost forming

on my frozen food?

When the doors are opened often or for

long periods of time, warm, humid air

enters the compartment. This raises the

temperature and moisture level within the

compartment. Increased moisture will lead

to frost and condensation. To lessen the

eect, reduce the frequency and duration

of door openings.

How long will it take for my ice bin to

ﬁ ll completely?

Once the ice supply in the bin has been

completely exhausted, it may take up

to 90 minutes before additional ice is

available, and approximately 72 hours to

completely reﬁll the bin.

Why does my ice and water taste

unusual?

It is recommended that you replace the

water ﬁ lter:

t Approximately every 6 months.

t When the water ﬁ lter indicator turns on.

t When the water dispenser output

decreases.

t When the ice cubes are smaller than

normal.

If your refrigerator was recently installed,

dispense 2.5 gallons of water (ﬂ ush for

approximately 5 minutes) to remove

trapped air and contaminants from the

system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5

gallon amount continuously. Depress and

release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30

seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
