INSTALLATION Unpacking Your Refrigerator
ENGLISH 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. Please remove vinyl from doors before connecting unit to the electrical supply (on some models). 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. 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.
Choosing the Proper Location
Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE The water pressure must be between
20 and 120 psi (0,14 - 0,82 MPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (0,28 - 0,82 MPa) on models with a water filter The refrigerator should al ways be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115/127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 A. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
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. 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.

to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes. y Foreign subst ances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.
Turning the Automatic Icemaker
On or Off icemaker switch to OFF (O) . To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I) .
HOW TO USE Automatic Icemaker (continued)
ENGLISH CAUTION y The first ice produced may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. y Throw away the first few batches of ice
(about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. y Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst. y If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected. y Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the automatic shut off arm. y It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together. If y ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink. y Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off y When the water supply will be shut off for several hours. y When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes. y When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear y The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to OFF (O).
NOTE Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. y You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF
(O) position. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
ENGLISH Food Preservation Location
Store your food in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.
(In some models) Vegetable storage (Crispers) Preserve vegetables and fruit.
Stores ice. (Ice Maker installed only)
Largest storage space in the freezer.
Adjustable refrigerator shelf (Half of full type)
Adjustable shelves to meet your individual storage needs.
Store drinks such as juice and soda, as well as seasonings, salad dressings and other food items.
Provides storage space for large party trays, deli items and beverages.
Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. If necessary, rinse and thoroughly pat dry vegetables and fruit to remove obvious soil, juice, or blemished areas, and wipe down food packaging to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated. If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of clean cloth or a paper towel. If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.
If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer. unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
HOW TO USE 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.
Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.
Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
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.
Remove store wrapping and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins
Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Store freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase
It is recommended to consume day purchased.
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.
NOTE Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
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 Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
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.
Humidity Controlled Crisper
* Depending on the model, some of the following functions may not be available. The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and vegetables by letting you easily control humidity inside the drawer.
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
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crispers by adjusting the control to any setting between Vegetable and Fruit.
Vegetable keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Fruit lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruit.
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.
Non-polyethylene plastic containers Containers without tight lids Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
This drawer can be used for large party trays, deli items and beverages. (This drawer should not be used for vegetables that require high humidity.)

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision. Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration. Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration. Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.
