OPERATION
OPERATION
Before Use
Notes for Operation
• Users should keep in mind that frost can form if
the door is not closed completely or if the
humidity is high during the summer.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food
stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the
door to close completely.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould
developing within the appliance.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has
a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact
on the food storage due to a temperature rise,
seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.
Door Open Alarm
This feature is only available on some models.
The alarm sounds if the door is left open or not
completely closed.
NOTE
• Contact the LG Electronics customer information
centre if the alarm sound continues even after
closing all doors.
Failure Detection
The appliance can automatically detect problems
during the operation.
NOTE
• If a problem is detected, the appliance may not
operate and an error code is displayed even
when any button is pressed.
• If an error code is indicated on the display, do
not turn off the power. Immediately contact the
LG Electronics customer information centre and
report the error code. If you turn off the power,
the repair technician from the our information
centre may have difficulty finding the problem.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• For the most efficient use of energy, keep all
inner parts (e.g. door baskets, drawers and
shelves) on their original location. Altering their
positions may result in less efficient energy
consumption or performance.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored
foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly
and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to
prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment,
set the freezer temperature lower than the
temperature indicated on the food.
• Do not set the temperature of the appliance
lower than needed.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of
the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at
least 3 cm from the sensor.
Storing Foods Effectively
• Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong
temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct
temperature for the food being stored.
• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
• Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
• Do not store food for a long period of time if it
spoils easily at a low temperature.
• Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with
food that is already frozen. It could be necessary

OPERATION
ENGLISH
to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing
every day is anticipated.
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be
stored on top of the vegetable drawer.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which has
been completely thawed again will lower its taste
and nutrition.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot
food is placed inside, the internal temperature of
the appliance can increase and negatively affect
other foods stored in the appliance.
• If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored correctly.
• If there are chill compartments in the appliance,
do not store vegetables and fruits with higher
moisture content in the chill compartments as
they may freeze due to the lower temperature.
• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity
company and ask how long it is going to last.
- You should avoid door openings while the
power is off.
- When the power supply gets back to normal,
check the condition of the food.
Maximum Freezing Capacity
• For maximum freezing capacity, set the freezer
temperature to the coldest temperature setting.
•
Express Freeze
function will allow the freezer to
reach its maximum freezing capacity. This
generally takes up to 24 hours and automatically
switches off.
•
Express Freeze
must be switched on when fresh
products are placed in the freezer compartment.
• To freeze food items quickly, store the food in
the center of pullout drawer. Food items will
freeze most quickly in the drawer.
• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts
like baskets, drawers, and shelves.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
General Cleaning Tips
• Performing manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning of the appliance while food is stored in
the freezer can raise the temperature of the food
and reduce its storage life.
• Regularly clean any surfaces that can come in
contact with food.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or abrasive pads. Do not use any
chemical cleaners that contain or are blended
with solvents or flammable substances or
caustic based detergents. These include but are
not limited to:
- Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
- This may cause discolouration or damage to
the appliance's internal parts and wall lining.
• After cleaning, check if the power cable is
damaged.
Cleaning the Exterior
• With models that have vents and rear covers
fitted, the outside air vents and rear lower cover
should be cleaned periodically to remove dust
buildup. Failure to do so could cause the
appliance to lose its cooling ability and cause the
compressor to overheat and malfunction,
resulting in food loss. We strongly recommend
this be done every 12 months or less, depending
on the environment.
• When cleaning the side vents and rear lower
cover by vacuuming, then the power cord must
be unplugged from the outlet to avoid any static
discharge that can damage the electronics or
cause an electric shock. Regular cleaning of the
rear and side ventilation covers is also necessary
to maintain reliable and economical operation of
the unit.
• Failure to keep the air vents on the exterior of
the appliance clean can also cause overheating,
appliance damage or property damage if the
defrosted water cannot evaporate from the rear
drain pan.
• For the appliance 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 dedicated cloth. Do not
use contaminated cloths when cleaning the
stainless steel doors. Always use a dedicated
cloth and wipe in the same direction as the grain.
This helps reduce surface staining and
tarnishing.
Cleaning the Interior
• Before removing a shelf or drawer from inside
the appliance, remove all stored foods from the
shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to
the appliance. Otherwise, injury may occur due
to the weight of stored foods.
• Detach the shelves and drawers and clean them
with water and a mild detergent, and then dry
them sufficiently, before replacing them.
• Regularly wipe the door gaskets and door seals
with water and a mild detergent. Never use
solvent or acidic based chemicals to clean the
interior. Doing so will alter its integrity.
• Door basket spills and stains should be cleaned
as they can compromise storage ability of the
basket and could even be damaged.
• Never clean the shelves, door baskets, or
containers in the dishwasher or in hot water. The
parts may become deformed, and glass may
shatter due to the heat.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions. Users do not need to
defrost it manually.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Condenser Cover
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the
condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the
panel covering the condenser coil area.
We strongly recommend that this be done every 12
months to maintain operating efficiency. Failing to
do so could cause loss of cooling, higher energy
usage and compressor overheating.
