15INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the

refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)

in house plumbing can cause damage to

refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct

water hammer before installing the water

supply line to the refrigerator.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply. The water

pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi ( 138

– 827 kPa ) on

models without a water filter and

between 40 and 120 psi ( 276 – 827 kPa ) on

models with a water filter. If the water pressure

does not reach the minimum required pressure,

a separate booster pump may be required

for normal automatic icemaker and cool water

dispensing operation.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, this water

line installation is not covered by the refrigerator

warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to

minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs

to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 413 kPa,

or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz

capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes

more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

y Check to see if the sediment filter in

the reverse osmosis system is blocked.

Replace the filter if necessary.

y Allow the storage tank on the reverse

osmosis system to refill after

heavy usage.

y If the issue concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

y All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

y Copper Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter,

to connect the refrigerator to the water

supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing

are cut square.

To determine how

much tubing you

need: measure the

distance from the

water valve on the back of the refrigerator

to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet

(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra

tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3

turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to

allow the refrigerator to move out from

the wall after installation. Keep the total

length of the feed water pipe tube within

26 ft (8 m). Be careful to avoid getting a

kink in the tube. If the tube is longer than

26 ft (8 m), it may cause the water feed to

malfunction.

y Power drill.

y ½ in. or adjustable

wrench.

y Flat blade and Phillips

head screwdrivers.

y Two ¼ in. outer

diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect

the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator water valve.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold

water supply.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to

prevent injury.

16 INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

y If your existing copper water line

has a flared fitting at the end, you

will need an adapter (available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect

the water line

to the

refrigerator OR

you can cut off

the flared fitting with a tube cutter

and then use a compression fitting.

y Shutoff valve to connect to the cold

water line. The shutoff valve should

have a water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the

point of connection to the COLD

WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff

valves are included in many water

supply kits.

Before

purchasing,

make sure

a saddle-

type valve complies with your local

plumbing codes.

NOTE

A self-piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard:

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is battery powered, double insulated

or grounded in a manner that will prevent the

hazard of electric shock.

best to connect into

the side of a vertical

water pipe. When it is

necessary to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the

connection to the top or side, rather

than at the bottom, to avoid drawing

o any sediment from the water pipe.

3 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. hole in

the water pipe using

a sharp bit. Remove

any burrs resulting

from drilling the

hole in the pipe. Be

careful not to allow

water to drain into

the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may

result in reduced ice production or smaller

cubes.

4 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shuto valve to the cold water

pipe with the pipe clamp.

5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell.

NOTE:

Do not overtighten clamp or

you may crush the tubing.

6 ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water

line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in

the wall or oor (behind the refrigerator or

adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as

possible.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic

tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only

copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or

#49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX)

tubing.

WARNING

When using any electrical device (such

as a power drill) during installation, be

sure the device is battery powered,

double insulated or grounded in a

manner that will prevent the hazard of

electric shock.

21HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Control Panel

The refrigerator control functions as the ther-

mostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and

freezer sections). The colder the setting, the

longer the compressor will run to keep the tem-

perature colder. The freezer control adjusts the

cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower tempera-

ture keeps more cold air in the freezer compart-

ment to make it colder.

Airflow

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh

food section and back again through air vents in

the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not

to block vents while packing your refrigerator.

Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the

refrigerator temperature to become too warm

or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow

diagram below.)

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections,

any odors formed in one section will transfer to

the other. You must thoroughly clean both sec-

tions to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food,

wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Stor-

age Guide section for details.)

NOTE:

If you close the refrigerator door, you

may see the freezer door open and close again

due to pressure from internal air flow.

CAUTION

The first ice and water dispensed may

include particles or odor from the water

supply line or the water tank.

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.

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.

If discolored ice is dispensed, check the

water filter and water supply. If the prob-

lem continues, contact a qualified service

center. Do not use the ice or water until

the problem is corrected.

Keep children away from the dispenser.

Children may play with or damage the

controls.

The ice passage may become blocked with

frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove

the frost that accumulates by removing

the ice bin and clearing the passage with a

rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can

also help prevent frost buildup.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to

collect ice. Such containers may chip or

break resulting in glass fragments in the

ice.

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it

with water or other beverages. Splashing

may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass

that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally

narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice

passage and refrigerator performance may

be affected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from

the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the

outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of

the ice door and passage.

Never remove the dispenser cover.

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.

Food How To

Butter or

Margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered

dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply, wrap in

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 plastic bag or

plastic container and store in

vegetable drawer.

Vegetables

with skins

(carrots,

peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in vegetable

drawer.

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 in plastic

containers with tight lids.

Ice Cream

When storing frozen food like ice

cream for a long period, place it on

the freezer shelf, not in the door bins.

Storing Frozen Food

Freezing

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

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food

for freezing or food storage times.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves

energy.

30 HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

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.

Packaging recommendations:

y Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

y Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

y Heavy-duty aluminum foil

y Plastic-coated paper

y Non-permeable plastic wraps

y Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

bags

Follow package or container instructions for

proper freezing methods.

Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable

to meet your individual storage needs.

Adjusting the shelv

erent

heights will mak

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 Shelf

Remove all items from the shelf. Lift the back

of the shelf slightly to disengage the rail stops.

Holding the shelf with both hands, tilt the shelf

and pull it out.

Assembling the Shelf

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves with

warm water while they are cold.

Shelves may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact.

Glass shelves are heavy. Use special

care when removing them.

CAUTION

Make sure that shelves are level from one

side to the other. Failure to do so may

result in the shelf falling or food spilling.

ENGLISH

General Cleaning Tips

y Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

y Remove all removable parts, such as

shelves, crispers, etc.

y Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water. Do not use

abrasive or harsh cleaners.

y Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces

thoroughly.

Exterior

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least

twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste

wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

For products with a stainless steel exterior,

use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive

or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth.

Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm up

so the cloth will not stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside

of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda

and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking

soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter

water.) Be sure the baking soda is completely

dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of

the refrigerator.

Door Liners and Gaskets

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches,

or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic

refrigerator parts.

Plastic Parts (covers and panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Do not use window

sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids.

These can scratch or damage the

material.

Condenser Coils

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to

clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not

remove the panel covering the condenser coil

area.

CAUTION

y Do not use a rough cloth or sponge

when cleaning the interior and exterior

of the refrigerator.

y Do not place your hand on the bottom

surface of the refrigerator when opening

and closing.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

y Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both sections

about once a month to prevent odors.

y Wipe up spills immediately.

y Always unplug the refrigeration before cleaning.

WARNING

Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do

so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Replacing the Water Filter

It is recommended that you replace the water

ﬁ lter:

Approximately every

six months.

When the water ﬁ lter

indicator turns on.

When the water

dispenser output

decreases.

When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

Rotate the water

er up into position and

close the cover. The cover will click when

closed correctly.

3 After the water ﬁlter is replaced, dispense

2.5 gallons of water (ﬂush for approximately

ﬁve minutes) to remove trapped air and

contaminants from the system. Do not

dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount

continuously. Depress and release the

dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and

60 seconds OFF.

1 Remove the old water er.

NOTE:

Replacing the water

er causes a

small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25

cc) to drain. Place a cup under the front end

of the water ﬁ lter cover to collect any leaking

water. Hold the water ﬁ lter upright, once it is

removed, to prevent any remaining water from

spilling out of the water ﬁ lter.

39SMART DIAGNOSIS

ENGLISH

Should you experience any problems with your

refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting

data via your telephone to the LG service

center. This gives you the capability of speaking

directly to our trained specialists. The specialist

records the data transmitted from your machine

and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast

and e

ective diagnosis.

1 Lock the display. To lock the display, press

and hold the Lock button for three seconds.

(If the display has been locked for over

minutes, you must deactivate the lock and

then reactivate it.)

2 Open the refrigerator door.

3 Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in

front of the speaker that is located on the

right hinge of the refrigerator door, when

instructed to do so by the call center.

4 Press and hold the Freezer button for three

seconds while continuing to hold your phone

to the speaker.

5 After you hear three beeps, release the

Freezer button.

6 Keep the phone in place until the tone

transmission has

This takes about

three seconds, and the display will count

down the time. Once the countdown is

over and the tones have stopped, resume

your conversation with the specialist, who

will then be able to assist you in using the

information transmitted for analysis.

NOTE

For best results, do not move the phone

while the tones are being transmitted.

If the call center agent is not able to get

an accurate recording of the data, you

may be asked to try again.

NOTE

Call quality di erences by region may

ect the function.

Use the home telephone for better

communication performance, resulting

in better service.

Bad call quality may result in poor data

transmission from your phone to the

machine, which could cause Smart

Diagnosis

to malfunction.

First, call to the LG service center. Only use the

Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to

do so by the LG callcenter agent.

USING SMART DIAGNOSIS

SMART DIAGNOSIS

If you experience problems with your refrigerator,

call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart

Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so

by the LG call center agent. The transmission

sounds that you will hear are normal sounds

similar to fax machine.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless

your refrigerator is connected to power. If your

refrigerator is unable to turn on, then trouble-

shooting must be done without using Smart

Diagnosis.

Common Product Questions

How do I unclog the ice dispenser chute?

Eliminate the frost of ice fragments by re-

moving the ice bin and clearing the chute

with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice

can also help prevent frost or ice fragment

buildup.

Make sure that the refrigerator doors are

closed before attempting to dispense ice.

Why are ice crystals and frost forming

on my frozen food?

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. Increased moisture will lead

to frost and condensation. To lessen the

eect, reduce the frequency and duration

of door openings.

How long will it take for my ice bin to

ﬁ ll completely?

Once the ice supply in the bin has been

completely exhausted, it may take up

to 90 minutes before additional ice is

available, and approximately 72 hours to

completely reﬁll the bin.

Why does my ice and water taste

unusual?

It is recommended that you replace the

water ﬁ lter:

t Approximately every 6 months.

t When the water ﬁ lter indicator turns on.

t When the water dispenser output

decreases.

t When the ice cubes are smaller than

normal.

If your refrigerator was recently installed,

dispense 2.5 gallons of water (ﬂ ush for

approximately 5 minutes) to remove

trapped air and contaminants from the

system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5

gallon amount continuously. Depress and

release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30

seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.

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 Setting the

Controls section for more information.

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).

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. Increased

moisture will lead to frost and condensation.

To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and

duration of door openings.

Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop

Doors are opened often or

for long periods of time.

If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient

air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the

unit from maintaining the set temperature. Low ering

the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not

opening the doors as frequently.

Doors are not closed

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY

OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT

OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT

TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Deﬁnitions.

For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries

and afﬁliates, and each of their ofﬁcers, directors, employees, agents, beneﬁciaries, predecessors in interest, successors,

assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind

whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or

equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited

Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commerce an arbitration proceeding, you must ﬁrst notify LG in

writing at least 30

days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-

Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an

attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the

product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG

are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to ﬁle a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period

after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an

individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or

consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More speciﬁcally, without limitation of

the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or represen-

tative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in 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. 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 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a

conﬂict berween 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. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the

date of the ﬁrst consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to [email protected], with

the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide

by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name

or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing

https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial

Number”).

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone);

no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute

resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full

beneﬁts of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of

the arbitration provision described above.

ENGLISH

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY

WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING

ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND

LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS

ACTION.

Deﬁnitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and

afﬁliates, and each of their ofﬁcers, directors, employees, agents, beneﬁciaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns

and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether

based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out

of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must ﬁst notify LG in writing at least

30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department-

Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an

attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the

product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are

unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either day party may proceed to ﬁle a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after

sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an

individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause

in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree

to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or

consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More speciﬁcally, without limitation of the

foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any

circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual

action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to

the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue

between you and LG.

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 private and conﬁdential, and conducted on a simpliﬁed and expedited basis before a single arbitrator

chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your

residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department-

Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial

or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. 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 arbitra-

tion 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 province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes

between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or

provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG,

you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of

the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will

promptly pay all arbitration ﬁling fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these

fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all ﬁling, adminis-

tration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration 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 applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed

by the applicable arbitration 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 applicable arbitration 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 (1) on the

basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established

a ASC, as determined by LG Canada, it will be your responsibility to bring the Product, at your sole expense, to the ASC for

in-warranty repair.

circumstances, listed under the heading, This Limited Warranty

Does Not Cover, shall be borne by the consumer.

LIMITED WARRANTY

ENGLISH

by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable

arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location

available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a

telephonic arbitration.

Severability and Waiver.

If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the

remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail

to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not

mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.

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. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date

of the ﬁrst consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either (i) sending an e-mail to [email protected], with the subject

line: “Arbitration Opt Out;” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a)

your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and

(d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing

https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/repair-service/schedule-repair and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).

In the event that you “Opt Out”, the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and

any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal

or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and

LG, you and LG agree to attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the

resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.You may only opt out of the dispute resolution

procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out

of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited

Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full beneﬁts of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do

not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

Conﬂict of Terms. In the event of a conﬂict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty and the End User

License Agreement (“EULA”) in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited Warranty shall control and govern the

rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over the EULA.

El aire frío circula desde el congelador hacia la

sección de alimentos frescos y de vuelta atrás a

través de las ventilaciones del aire que hay en la

pared que divide las dos secciones. Asegúrese

de no bloquear las ventilaciones al cargar su

refrigerador, ya que hacerlo restringirá el flujo

de aire y puede causar que la temperatura del

refrigerador suba demasiado o que se acumule

humedad en su interior. (Consulte el siguiente

diagrama de flujo de aire).

IMPORTANTE:

Debido a que el aire circula entre ambas seccio-

nes, cualquier olor que se forme en una sección

será transferido a la otra. Debe limpiar cuidado-

samente ambas secciones para eliminar olores.

Para evitar el traspaso de olores y alimentos

resecos, envuelva o cubra los alimentos firme-

mente. (Vea la sección guía de almacenamiento

de alimentos para más detalles.)

NOTA:

Si cierra la puerta del refrigerador, puede

ver la puerta del congelador abrirse y cerrarse nue-

vamente para presionar el flujo de aire interno.

Máquina de Hielo Automática

El hielo se fabrica en la máquina de hielo auto-

mática y se envía al dispensador. La máquina

de hielo puede fabricar 7 cubitos por cada ciclo

- aproximadamente -120 cubitos en un período

de 24 horas, en función de la temperatura del

compartimiento del congelador, la temperatura

ambiente, el número de puertas abiertas y otras

condiciones de funcionamiento.

Un refrigerador recién instalado tardará

entre 12 y 24 horas en empezar a producir

hielo. Espere 72 horas para que comience

la producción de hielo.

La producción de hielo se detiene cuando

se llena el depósito de hielo. En ese caso,

el depósito de hielo contiene aproximada-

mente de 6 a 8 (12-16 oz) vasos de hielo.

podría incluir partículas y olor procedente de la

tubería de suministro de agua o del depósito

de agua.

Deseche las primeras tandas de hielo (aproxi-

madamente 24 cubitos). Esto también es

necesario si el refrigerador no se usa durante

un largo período de tiempo.

Nunca almacene latas de bebidas u otros

artículos en el depósito de hielo con el pro-

pósito de que se enfríen rápidamente. Si lo

hace, podría dañar la máquina de hielo o los

contenedores podrían estallar.

el hielo ni el agua hasta que se resuelva el

problema.

No permita que los niños utilicen el dispensa-

dor. Los niños podrían jugar con los controles

y romperlos.

Si sólo se usa hielo picado, el conducto del

hielo podría quedar bloqueado con escarcha.

Para retirar la escarcha acumulada, desmonte

el depósito de hielo y libere el conducto con

una espátula de goma. La dispensación de

hielo en cubitos también ayuda a evitar la

formación de escarcha.

Nunca use vasos de cristal no o recipientes

de loza para recoger hielo. Ese tipo de conte-

nedores podrían descascarillarse o romperse,

y podrían caer fragmentos de cristal al hielo.

Dispense hielo en el vaso antes de rellenarlo

con agua u otras bebidas. Si se dispensa hielo

en un vaso que ya contiene líquido, pueden

producirse salpicaduras.

Nunca use un vaso que sea excesivamente

estrecho o profundo. El hielo podría atascarse

en el conducto de hielo y el rendimiento del

refrigerador podría verse afectado.

Mantenga el vaso a una distancia adecuada

de la salida del hielo. Si sostiene el vaso

demasiado cerca de la salida, puede impedir

que se dispense el hielo.

Para evitar lesiones personales, mantenga

las manos lejos de la puerta y del conducto

del hielo.

Nunca retire la tapa del dispensador.

Almacenamiento de Alimentos

Lugar de Conservación de los Alimentos

Cada compartimiento del refrigerador está diseñado para almacenar diferentes tipos de alimentos.

Almacene sus alimentos en el espacio óptimo para disfrutar de los sabores más frescos.

PRECAUCIÓN

No almacene alimentos con un alto contenido de humedad en la parte superior del refrigerador.

La humedad podría entrar en contacto directo con el aire frío y la congelación.

Lave los alimentos antes de guardarlos en el refrigerador. Las frutas y verduras se deben lavar y los

envases de alimentos se deben limpiar para evitar que los alimentos adyacentes se contaminen.

Si el refrigerador se conserva en un lugar caliente y húmedo, la apertura frecuente de la puerta

o el almacenamiento de un montón de verduras en el refrigerador puede causar condensación.

Limpie la condensación con un paño limpio o una toalla de papel.

Si la puerta del refrigerador o del congelador se abre o cierra demasiado a menudo, el aire caliente

puede penetrar en el refrigerador y elevar su temperatura. Esto puede incrementar los costos de

funcionamiento de la unidad.

No sobrecargue o embale artículos demasiado sueltos adentro de los compartimentos de la

puerta. Si lo hace, puede ocasionar daños al compartimento o lesiones personales si se retiran

los artículos con fuerza excesiva.

No almacene recipientes de vidrio en el congelador. Los contenidos pueden expandirse cuando

están congelados, romper el recipiente y causar lesiones.

NOTA

Si sale de su casa por un corto período de tiempo, como unas breves vacaciones, el refrigerador

debe dejarse encendido. Los alimentos refrigerados que se puedan congelar permanecerán

conservados más tiempo si se almacenan en el congelador.

Si deja el refrigerador apagado durante un período prolongado de tiempo, saque todos los

alimentos y desenchufe el cable de alimentación. Limpie el interior y deje la puerta abierta para
