Notes for Operation

  • Users should keep in mind that frost can form. If the door is not closed completely, if the humidity is high during the summer, or if the freezer door is opened frequently. Condensation build up within food storage wrappers is also caused by the same conditions.
  • Ensure there is sufficient space between food stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the door to close completely.
  • Opening the door lets warm air enter the appliance, and may cause the internal temperature to rise and condensation to form.
  • If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the appliance.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

  • 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 put food near the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor.
  • Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact this may have on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.
  • The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

Storing Foods Effectively

  • Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers. It is normal for condensation or frost to form inside sealed containers due to the moisture already in the container or bag prior to it being sealed.
  • Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.
  • Do not store food for a long period of time (more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low temperature.
  • Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.
  • 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 wrap and store vegetables with newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or other foreign substances may smear and contaminate food.
  • Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
  • 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.

Max Freezing Capacity

  • The Express Freeze function will allow the freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.
  • This generally takes up to 24 ho
  • If the maximum freezing capacity is to be used, Express Freeze must be switched on for seven hours before fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Maximum Storage

  • To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.
  • If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer drawers shall be taken out of the appliance except the bottom one and the food shall be stacked directly on the freezer shelves are freezer compartment.

NOTE

  • To remove the drawers, first pick the food out of drawers. Then use the handle of drawers, pull out the drawers carefully. It may cause injury.
  • The shape of each drawer may be different, insert in the right position.

  • When the ice maker produces smaller ice cubes, or the cubes become lumped together, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker may be low due to insufficient water in the water tank. If ice is not used frequently, it may also lump together.
  • Constant dispensing of Crushed ice may cause the dispenser chute to become blocked with the residue of the crushed ice. it is recommended that cubed ice dispensing be used occasionally to counteract this formation.

Automatic Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 10 cubes at a time, over 100 pieces within a 24hr period but only if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, etc.).

  • Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
  • The icemaker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed and the icemaker On/Off switch is in the On position.
  • Discard ice produced for the first time without using it.
  • While the automatic icemaker is operating, do not touch it with your hands directly.
  • If ice cubes are stored in the ice bin for a long period of time, they may clump together and may not be separated easily. In such a case, empty the ice bin and allow fresh ice to be made.

  • If the water supply hose is bent, the water flow could be compromised.
Have you dispensed a large amount of ice recently?
  • It takes approximately 24 hours to produce more ice in the automatic icemaker. Please wait.
Did you set the ice maker switch or the automatic icemaker button on the control panel to ON?
  • Press I on the automatic icemaker switch or set ON for the automatic icemaker button on the control panel. (For more details on how to use, visit LG electronics website or use your smart device.)

  • If the set temperature is too warm, ice will be produced slowly or not at all. Set the Freezer temperature to -18 °C for normal operation of the automatic icemaker.
Have you been opening the appliance door frequently?
  • If you open the appliance door frequently, cold air will escape, lowering the speed of ice production. Do not open and close the appliance door frequently.
Is the appliance door completely closed?
  • If the appliance door is not completely closed, the temperature of the freezer compartment will increase, slowing down the ice production speed. Close the appliance door completely.
Ice is not dispensed.Is there ice in the ice bin?
  • Check whether there is ice in the ice bin.
Is the ice clumped in the ice bin?
  • Separate the ice bin and shake it. Discard the remaining clumped ice after shaking the ice bin.

  • In the control panel, select the modes for cubed ice and crushed ice alternately to dispense the ice.
Is the ice path blocked? (You can check the ice passage by separating the ice bin.)
  • Ice may not be dispensed properly if the ice passage is blocked. Check the ice and clean the ice path regularly.
Water does not come out.Are you using unfiltered water?
  • Unfiltered water can contain a large amount of various heavy metals or foreign substances, so the filter may be clogged in the early stage regardless of the life of the filter.

Water tastes strange.Is the taste of water different when comparing it with the taste of water from the previous water purifier?
  • Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended period of time?
Has it been a long time since you installed and replaced the filter?
  • If an expired filter is used, the purification performance may decline. It is recommended to replace the filter according to the filter replacement period.
Have you flushed out the filter properly in the initial stage after installing it?
  • When you install or replace the filter for the first time, you need to remove air and activated carbon residue from inside the filter. Use the appliance after dispensing and discharging approximately 5 litres of purified water from the dispenser by pressing the water dispensing lever. (Activated carbon is harmless to humans.)
Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended period of time?
