Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can ignite and cause a fire if you do not
take care.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts
of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or
cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of
ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating
circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for
every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an
appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
CAUTION
Installation
• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.
• The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Operation
• This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic and similar applications.
• 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. Remove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.
• Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the
refrigerator.
• Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor to
remain inside the refrigerator.
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.
• Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.
• Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.
• Store only ice in the ice bin. Do not store ice scooping tools or other items in the ice bin.
• Ice may overflow when removing or assembling the ice bin. Remove any ice in the bin area before
assembling the ice bin.

• Models with two ice bins in the freezer:
- The Craft Ice bin is located on the left and the Mini Cubed Ice bin is located on the right. Do not
change the positions of the two ice bins.
- Do not store Craft Ice in the Mini Cubed Ice bin or Mini Cubed Ice in the Craft Ice bin.
• Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
• Only qualified service personnel from an LG Electronics service center should disassemble or repair the icemaker.
• When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.
• Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
• Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are
cracked or broken.
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or
personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.
• Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them.
• Do not clean glass shelves with warm water while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact. You may be injured.
• Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or spilled food.
• Regularly detach and wash the storage bins and shelves; they can become easily contaminated by food.
• Do not apply excessive force while detaching or assembling the storage bins.
• Do not use the dishwasher to clean the storage bins and shelves.
Maintenance
• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.

Choosing the Proper Location
Water
The refrigerator must be located where a water
supply can be connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
• The water pressure must be 20 - 120 psi (138 -
827 kPa). If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below 20 psi or 138 kPa), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
Electricity
Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60
Hz, AC, 15 amps minimum.
WARNING
• Do not overload house wiring and cause a fire
hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the
same outlet with the refrigerator.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install
the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor.
