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.

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.
