This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you

of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard

signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if

the instructions are not followed.

SAFETY MESSAGES

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury

to persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the

outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord

that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at

either the plug or connector end.

When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box

in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (Aburned-

out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Setting

either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove

power to the light circuit.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and care guide.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold

surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or

wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or

hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and

Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below

40 °F (4 °C).”

“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor

or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of

any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be

dangerous to eat.”

“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods.

The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of

many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to

save as much of their quality as you can.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful

when you open the doors when children are in the area.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC’s are believed to harm the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a

stratospheric ozone. qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC

refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If

you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow

the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

IMPORTANT:

Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properly grounded.

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use.

3-prong

grounding

plug

3-prong

grounding type

wall receptacle

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the

third (ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,

cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control

(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,

depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are

finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or

Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired

setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

Conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of

an extension cord.

WARNING

POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by the manufacturer, by our service center or by

qualified personal by LG Electronics, to avoid some

risk.

However, if you still elect to use

an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be

a UL-listed (in the United States) or ACNOR (Canada),

3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a

grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating

of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

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.

INSTALLATION

1. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight,

or moisture.

2. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If required,

adjust the leveling screws to compensate for

unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly

higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling

screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet

slightly. Turn the leveling screws clockwise ( ) to

raise the unit, counterclockwise ( ) to lower it.

3. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110°F (43 °C.) If the

temperature around the appliance is too low or high,

cooling ability may be adversely affected.

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust

accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed

together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for 2 or 3 hours before putting

food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer

compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator

is now ready for use.

WARNING:

Be careful when you work with hinge, base grille,

stopper etc. You may be injured.

Do not put hands or metal sticks into air vents, base

grille or bottom of refrigerator. You may be injured or

receive an electrical shock.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

Open both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more

to the rear by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It

may take several more turns, and you should turn both

leveling screws the same amount.

DOOR CLOSING AND ALIGNMENT

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws one on

the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems

unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust

the refrigerator tilt using the instructions below:

1. Plug the refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong

grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final

position.

2. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn

the leveling screw clockwise to raise that side of the

refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take

several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of

the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws.

This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

4. Check, using a level.

5. Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the

instructions below to align the doors:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 10 mm socket

or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a

spacer between the doors while you tighten the

top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

AFTER COMPLETING THE JOB

Make sure that the four corners of the door gasket are

not folded over. To ensure a good seal, apply a small

amount of silicon grease on the gasket.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow

between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown

in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom

of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then

flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates

under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the

refrigerator section through the top vent.

MULTI FLOW

The cooling fan operates more powerful and effective

If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent

while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if

gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because

of escaping cool air.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If

the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT:

DOOR ALARM

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, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the

Food Storage

Guide section for details.)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate

the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator

compartments.

Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37 °F

(3 °

C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0 °F ( -18 °

C).

Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to

stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature

as desired.

Refrigerator control:32 °F to 47 °F (0

C to 8 °C)

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator

compartment will become.

Freezer control: -6 °F to 9 °F (- 21 °C to - 13 °C)

When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer

compartment becomes colder.

NOTE: To change °F/°C press and HOLD COLDER key

co f freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator over 1 sec. at

the same time.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

than in normal operation. This is specially noticeable

when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.

Ice Plus:

Press the Ice Plus key and the LED will turn

on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and

intensify the cooling speed of freezer and increase the

amount of ice.

With this feature you´ll listen a alarm when the freezer or

refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is

opened. These tones repeat every 30 seconds.

The alarm is cancelled when the freezer or the refrigerator

is closed correctly.
