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

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115V~60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 A.
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.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.FlooringTo 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 section).NOTEInstalling on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform, or a weakly supported structure is not recommended.Ambient TemperatureInstall 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, the cooling ability may be adversely affected.Measuring the ClearancesToo small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges.Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the refrigerator and the wall.

Turning On The Power

Plugin the refrigerator.

CAUTION*Connect to a rated power outlet.*Have a certiﬁed electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.*Do not damage or cut off the ground terminal of the power plug.

LevelingAfter installing, plug 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 side and one on the left).Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front to front or side to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

Turn the leveling legs by inserting a ﬂat blade screwdriver in the holes located in the leveling screws. Turn the leg clockwise ( ) to raise that side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise ( )to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.NOTEHaving someone push back against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
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 counterclockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

HOW TO USE

Before use

Clean the refrigerator.Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that contains alcohol, a ﬂammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator.
Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the refrigerator.

NOTERemove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.Connect the power supply.

Check if the power supply is connected before use.Read the “Turning On The Power” section.Wait for the refrigerator to cool.Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it. Check the ﬂow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.CAUTIONPutting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor could remain inside the refrigerator.The refrigerator makes a loud noise after the initial operation.This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature lowers.Open refrigerator doors to ventilate the interior.The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at ﬁrst. Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator doors for ventilation.IN CASE OF REFRIGERANT LEAK

Do not touch the refrigerator or the outlet and ventilate the room immediately.
The explosion by spark may cause ﬁre or burn.
Because this refrigerator uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) even a small amount (80~90 g) is combustible.
When the gas is leaked by the severe damage during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any spark may cause ﬁre or burn.

Storing FoodFood Preservation LocationEach compartment inside the refrigerator is designed to store different types of food.Store your food in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.

CAUTION

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 vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
If the refrigerator door or freezer door is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator-tor and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

NOTE

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.
If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.

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 transferthroughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check the date code to ensure freshness.

Food	How To
Butter or Margarine	Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. ZWhen storing an extra supply, wrap in a 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 a plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)	Place in plastic bags or plastic containers and store in crisper.
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 them in plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen FoodNOTECheck a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.FreezingYour 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 morethan 2 lbs (0,9 kg) to 3 lbs (1,3 kg) of food per cubic foot or 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.NOTEAllow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.Cooling hot foods before freezing save energy.PackagingSuccessful 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:

Rigid plastic containers with tight-ﬁtting lids.
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars.
Heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Plastic-coated paper.
Non-permeable plastic wraps.
Speciﬁed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags.

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methodsDo not use:

Bread wrappers.
Non-polyethylene plastic containers.
Containers without tight lids.
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap.
Thin, semi-permeable wrap.

Humidity-Controlled CrisperThe crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and vegetables by letting you easily control humidity inside the drawer.You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crispers by adjusting the control to any setting between High and Low.

High lets moist air out of the crisper for the best storage of fruit.Low keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.To remove the crisper, follow these instructions:

Pull out the crisper to full extension, lift the front up, and pull straight out.
To install the crisper, slightly tilt up the front, insert the drawer into the frame, and push it back into place.

Door BinsThe door bins are removable for easy cleaning and adjustment.

To remove the bin, simply lift the bin up and pull it straight out.
To replace the bin, slide it in above the desired support and push down until it snaps into place.CAUTION
Do not apply excessive force while detaching or assembling the storage bins.
Do not use the dishwasher to clean the storage bins and shelves.
Regularly detach and wash the storage bins and shelves, they can become easily contami- noted by the food.

Adjusting the Refrigerator ShelvesThe shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.Adjusting the shelves to ﬁt items of different heights will make ﬁnding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open which will save energy.Detaching the ShelfIn order to remove the refrigerator shelves follow these instructions:

Lift the back of the shelf from below.
Use enough force to lift the shelf and release it from the holders.
Slide the shelf forward to remove it completely.

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves with warm water while they are cold. Shelves may break if they’re exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact.
Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them.

Problem	Possible Causes	Solutions
The refrigerator is not cooling or has no power.	The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models).	Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings.
The refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.	During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and conﬁrm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has been completed.
The refrigerator was recently installed.	It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
The refrigerator was recently relocated.	If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet’s circuit breaker has tripped.	• Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.• Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.
The cooling System runs too much.	The refrigerator is replacing an older model.	Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efﬁcient technology.
The refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.	The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was 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).
Doors are not closed completely.	Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Troubleshooting.
The refrigerator is installed in a hot location.	The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, 70°F (21 °C) 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 above 110°F (43 °C).
The refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm.	The refrigerator was recently installed.	It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
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. Rearrange items to allow air to ﬂow throughout the compartment.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.	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. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
The unit is installed in a hot location.	The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110°F (43 °C).
A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment.	Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect.
Doors not closed correctly.	See the Doors that will not close correctly or pop open section in Troubleshooting.
Temperature control is not set correctly.	If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Pad section for more information.
Defrost cycle has recently been completed.	During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and conﬁrm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has been completed.
Interior moisture buildup.	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.	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. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
Doors not closed correctly.	See the Doors will not close correctly section in the Troubleshooting section.
The weather is humid.	Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Main- training a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
Interior moisture buildup.	Defrost cycle recently completed.	During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and conﬁrm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
Food is not packaged correctly.	Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.	Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.	Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.	If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Pad section for more information.
The refrigerator is installed in a cold location.	When the refrigerator is operated in temperatures below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package).	The door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.	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. The increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
The door is not closing properly.	Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section.
The refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold.	Incorrect temperature control settings.	If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Pad section for more information.
Frost or ice crystals on frozen food (inside of the sealed package).	Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package.	This is normal for food items with high water content.

Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.Arbitration Rules and Procedures.To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. 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.

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.
