• Never store explosive substances or chemicals in your refrigerator such as benzene, alcohol, aerosolcans, etc. It is DANGEROUS!!
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments; catering and similar non-retail applications. For your safety, this product should be properly grounded. Have a qualified professional check the electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground connection.
• Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they could explode after freezing and cause damage.
• Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.
• Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the skin could become adhered to these surfaces.
• In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the heating mechanism that discharges the cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is connected.
• If the use of this unit is no longer needed, please contact local authorities to dispose of this product in a safe way due to Cyclopedia or pentane as gas for insulation and R600a as refrigerant. Insulation gases and refrigerant require a special elimination process. This product contains flam-mable insulation and refrigerant.
• DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed. The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes that:

"...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)".

"...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be frozen or consumed.

Consumption of melted ice cream should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to consume".

"Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.

The quality of red meat is less affected than that of other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to maintain their quality".

• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can ignite and cause a fire if you do not take care.
*Refrigerant type is indicated in the label inside your refrigerator, this warning apply just for models with R600a refrigerant.
- This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

- If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m^2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

• When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced sensory or mental capacity, or persons that lack experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to assure that they do not play with the appliance.

DANGER: CHILDREN MAY BECOME TRAPPED

Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there "for just a few days". If you would like to dispose of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to prevent any accidents.

BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER WHEN NO LONGER IN USE:

• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily become stuck in them.

CFC DISPOSAL

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have a qualified electrician check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is grounded properly.

3 prong grounding type wall receptacle 3 prong grounding plug Ensure proper ground exists before use

*Image may vary according to your national plug, reference only

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current should only be 220-240 V \~ 50/60 Hz, AC (according to the National rating) and fused at 15 A.

This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be disconnected with a switch.

It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-prong outlet.

Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third prong from the plug.

NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing LED lamp, you must disconnect the appliance from the power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

WARNING

EXTENSION CABLE

Do not use an extension cable.

USE OF EXTENSION CABLES

We do not recommend the use of extension cables. However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable, it is absolutely necessary that it supports three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current support a minimum of 15 A and 220-240 V (according to the National rating).

The use of an extension cable will increase the amount of space needed behind the refrigerator.

WARNING

REPLACING ELECTRICAL CABLE

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by our service center or qualified LG technician to avoid any risk.

CLOSING THE DOORS AND LEVELING

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary, 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 refrigerator has two front leveling legs, one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unstable or if you would like the doors to close more easily, simply adjust the tilt of the refrigerator by following the instructions below:

1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Use an 11/16" (18 mm) wrench or an adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs, turn the leveling legs 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: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This will make it easier to adjust the level.

1. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If they don't, 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 extend both legs the amount.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

1. Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head screwdriver and remove.
2. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts using a 10 mm or 13/32 inch socket wrench or open-end wrench.
3. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space between the two doors is even, and retighten the top hinge bolts.
4. Replace the Top Hinge Cover.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow between the freezer and refrigerator sections. As shown in the illustration below, the cold air enters through the bottom part and circulates upward. This air returns below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Diagram of an open refrigerator showing internal air circulation and battery compartments (no text or labels)

Do not block any of these vents with packages of food. This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature and moisture problems.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See the "Food Storage Guide" section for details).

NOTE: If you close the fresh food compartment door applying more force than necessary, freezer door may get open and close again, due internal air flow of refrigerator.

ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS

- Your refrigerator has two controls that allow you to regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

• Refrigerator Control

Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle setting (number 3). To do so, press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until it reaches the middle position (the third LED turns ON). Leave the refrigerator on this setting for 24 hours to reach the correct temperature. After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours before you adjust the temperature. If you want to set the refrigerator compartment temperature to a warmer temperature than the current, continue pressing the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until it reaches the desired temperature.

Cold Off Coldest Temperature Adjust

• Demo Mode (For Store Use Only)

Demo Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF will display on the control panel.

To deactivate:

Press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until your desired temperature setting is reached. The OFF light will turn off once the Demo Mode is deactivated.

- Freezer Control

The freezer control should come from factory on the middle setting (number 3). Wait 24 hours before adjusting the freezer compartment temperature. Roll the knob to set the freezer temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment to reach the desired temperature.

NOTE: Setting at higher number of the freezer compartment, the temperature of freezer compartment becomes colder.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is cold to your liking and ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance. The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the table below as a guide.

CONDITION/REASON: RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT:
REFRIGERATOR section is too warm• Opening the door often• Adding a large amount of food• Room temperature is very warm	Adjust the REFRIGERATOR setting to the next highest number and wait 24 hours, then check.
FREEZER section is too warm/ ice is made too slowly• Opening the door often• Adding a large amount of food• Room temperature is very low (not cycling often enough)• Using ice frequently• Air vents blocked by objects	Adjust the FREEZER setting to the next highest number and wait 24 hours, then check.Remove any objects blocking air flow.
REFRIGERATOR section is too cold• Controls not set correctly for your conditions	Adjust the REFRIGERATOR setting to the next lowest number and wait 24 hours, then check.
FREEZER section is too cold• Controls not set correctly for your conditions	Adjust the FREEZER setting to the next lowest number and wait 24 hours, then check.

- FRUIT lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruit.

To remove and install the crisper drawers:

1. Pull the crisper drawer out to the drawer stop.
2. Lift the front of the crisper up, then pull it straight out.
3. To install, slightly till up the front, insert the drawer into the frame and push it back into place, past the drawer stop.

DOOR BINS

The door bins are removable for easy cleaning and adjustment.
1. To remove the bin, simply lift the bin up and pull straight out.
2. To replace the bin, slide it in above the desired support and push down until it snaps into place.

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not use flammable cleaners. Not following these instructions can cause death, explosion or fire.

The refrigerator, as well as the freezer, do their own de-freezing. This process does not prevent the build up of contaminants, therefore it is suggested that you clean both parts once a month; clean spilled liquids immediately.

REFRIGERATOR CLEANING

• Unplug your refrigerator.

• Pull out all of the removable parts (such as the vegetable and dairy doors).
- Use a clean sponge (or a soft rag) and use it with lukewarm water mixed with detergent. Do not use abrasive or concentrated cleaners.
• Hand wash it, and dry it thoroughly.
• Plug the refrigerator back in.

OUTSIDE

NOTE: Avoid the usage of chemical products that contain phosphates or bleach.

INSIDE (Allow freezer to slightly warm up a small degree to prevent cloth from sticking)

In order to eliminate bad odors, clean the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking powder and lukewarm water (one teaspoon of baking powder per cup of water). Ensure that the powder dissolves thoroughly, in order to prevent any sort of damage.

Use only a mild detergent (such as dish soap).

PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)

NOTE: Back Cover should only be

removed by a qualified technician.

In order to get an efficient performance of your refrigerator, clean the back cover of it at least twice a year.

REPLACING REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS

The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1. In case of a black out, call your electric company and ask how long it will last.
2. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following options:
   • Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an ice chest.
4. Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer. This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.
   • In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry ice, consume your food as soon as possible.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe, dispose of it.

WHEN GOING ON VACATION

If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going away, consider these steps:

1. Consume all of the perishable items and freeze the rest.

2. Empty the ice bin.

If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING

WHEN MOVING

If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when moving, consider the following:

1. Remove all of the food from it, and place the frozen food in an ice chest with dry ice.
2. Unplug your refrigerator.
3. Empty the water from its tray.
4. Clean and dry it with a rag
5. Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with adhesive tape.
6. Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw the levelers so it won't scratch the floor. Consult to the section "Closing and Aligning Doors".
7. Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.

When your refrigerator arrives to your home, put everything back into place and read the section "Refrigerator Installation" in order to obtain installation preparation.

DOOR ALARM (On Some Models)

The Door Alarm function is designed to prevent refrigerator malfunctions that could occur if the refrigerator door remains open. If the refrigerator door remains open for longer than 1 minute, an alarm sounds at 30-second intervals. The alarm will stop when both refrigerator doors are closed properly.

NOTE: This function can not be deactivated.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did not make. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds you may hear and what may be causing them.

Clicking:

The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

Rattling:

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Whooshing:

- Evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

• Air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

- Ice compartment fan in the freezer on the left side of the refrigerator when the doors are open.

Gurgling

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound caused by the refrigerant flowing through the cooling system.

Popping:

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls.

Sizzling:

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.

Vibrating Noise:

If the side or back of the refrigerator is touching a cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations may make an audible sound. To eliminate the noise, make sure that

the sides and back cannot vibrate against any wall or cabinet.

Dripping:

Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Pulsating or High-Pitched Sound:

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature.

The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
	The power supply cord is unplugged. Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage (see Electrical & Grounding Requirements)
	A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has trapped	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem persists, contact an electrician
	The refrigerator control is set to the	Refer to the Setting the Controls section.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Lights do not work	The power supply cord is unplugged. Firmly	plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage (refer to Electrical & Grounding Requirements).
	An LED light has malfunctioned. Before proceeding to replace LED, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lamps are LED interior lighting, and service should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Vibration or rattling noise.	The refrigerator is not resting solidly on the floor.	Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need adjusting. See the Installation section for leveling instructions.
Compressor seems to run too much.	The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.	Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
	The room temperature is warmer than normal.	The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated in surrounding temperatures above 110°F.
	The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.	Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
	The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly.	The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely
	The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.	See the Adjusting Control Settings section.
	The doors are not closed completely. Firmly	push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see "Doors will not close"

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Doors will not close completely.	The refrigerator is not level. See the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
	Food packages are blocking the door open.	Rearrange food containers to clear door and door shelves.
	The ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins or baskets are out of position.	Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Using Your Refrigerator section for more information.
	The gaskets are sticking. Clean gaskets and	the surfaces that they touch. Ruo a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.

Frost or ice crystals on frozen food.	The door is not closing properly. See "Doors will not close completely" in the Troubleshooting section.
	The door is opened often. When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the freezer, resulting in frost.
Ice has bad taste or odor.	The icemaker was recently installed. Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or bad tasting ice.
	The ice has been stored for too long. Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
	The food has not been wrapped tightly in either compartment.	Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.
	The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.	A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems.
	The interior of the refrigerator needs cleaning.	See Care and Cleaning section for more information.
	The ice storage bin needs cleaning. Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
There is water in the defrost drain pan.	The refrigerator is defrosting. The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
	It is more humid than normal. Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Temperature is too warm or there is interior moisture buildup.	The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.	Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. (See air flow diagram below)
	The doors are opened often. Opening the door	Door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
	The control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.	If the temperature is too warm, change the setting one increment at a time. Refer to the Setting the Controls section. Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out.
	A large amount of food has just been added to the refrigerator or freezer.	Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
	The food is not packaged correctly. Wrap food	Food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the Food Storage Guide section.
	The doors are not closing completely. See "Doors will not close completely" in the Troubleshooting section.
	The weather is humid in humid weather, stopper moisture.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
The doors are difficult to open.	The gaskets are dirty or sticky. Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
	The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened.	When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then too if it opens more easily.
Frozen food in refrigerator compartment.	The temperature control in the refrigerator compartment is set too cold.	Press the Temperature Adjust button to set the refrigerator compartment to a warmer temperature.
	Refrigerator is installed in a cold location. When room temperature is below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures below 55°F (15°C).
	Food with a high water content was placed too close to the cold air discharge vent.	Place food with a high water content toward the front of the refrigerator.
