THANKYOU!

Congratulations on your purchase and

welcome to the LG family.

Your new LG French Door Refrigerator

combines advanced cooling technology

with simple operation and high

efficiency. Follow the operating and care

instructions in this manual and your

refrigerator will provide you with many

years of reliable service.

This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury

or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the

word "DANGER", "CAUTION" or "WARNING'( These words mean:

You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.

You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury

-- or damage to the product.

All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what

can occur if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of fire, elecfrical shock or personal

injury, the following precau¢ion measures should be

followed:

• NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the

power cord, always grip the plug firmly and disconnect

it directly from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all faulty or damaged

service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or

abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the

plug.

• When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll

over the electrical cord.

* DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible

liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other

electrical appliance.

• DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from

the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause

serious injury to them and damage to the product.

Keep your fingers away from areas in which they

can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and

cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children

are near.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair

services be performed by a qualified professional.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid

contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while

being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF

position does not disconnect the power from the light

bulb circuit.

• Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they

could explode after freezing and cause damage.

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.

• 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.

• DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home

and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

'(.You may 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 other foods.

Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to

maintain their quality'(

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced

sensory oF mental capacity, oF persons with lack of experience oF know-how, unless they have supervision oF instruction

in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to

IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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

plug

3 prong

grounding type

wall receptacle

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use

It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for

this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be

disconnected with a switch.

Do not use an extension cable. 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 light

bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the

power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in

and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.

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 is listed in the UL (in

the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports

three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current

support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.

The use of an extension cable will increase the amount

of space needed behind the refrigerator.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own

outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current

should only be 115 V N 60 Hz, AC or 127 V N 60 Hz,

AC (according to the National rating). This provides

the best performance and prevents an overload which

could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables.

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.

CLOSINGANDALiGNiNGTHEDOORS

Closing the Doors

Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, 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 inclination 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. Remove the base grille (Refer to the section on

"Installation of Base Grille").

3. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws,

turning clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator

and counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several

turns to adjust it to the inclination you would like.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws.

This will make it easier to adjust the screws.

Aligning the Doors

To adjust the height of the doors, use the wrench

(Included with the User Manual) to adjust the bolt in

the door hinge (counter clockwise to raise or clockwise

to lower)

Image only for reference.

When moving your refrigerator

Note: Your refrigerator is extremly heavy. When moving

the refrigerator for installing, cleaning or service be sure

to follow the next instructions.

1. Adjust leveling legs up.

Image only for reference.

4.0pen both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If not, slightly tilt the refrigerator

further back by turning both leveling screws clockwise.

It may take several more turns. Make sure that you turn

both leveling screws the same amount.

5. Ensure that the refrigerator is even by using a level.

6. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with

two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or

closed independently of one another. You may have

to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close

completely.
