OPERATION

Before Use

Notes for Operation

• Before placing food in the appliance, clean the

inside and outside of the appliance with warm

water and a mild washing-up liquid to remove

manufacturing residues.

• 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 bins, drawers and shelves)

on their original location.

• 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.

15

OPERATION

ENGLISH

• 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. Do not store

excessive amounts of fresh food.

- If you want to freeze food over several days,

only store up to about 2/3 of the maximum

freezing capacity.

• Freeze food in portion-sized quantities for faster

freezing, easier thawing and processing.

• 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.

- Only take out the amount of food that you

need. Consume thawed food quickly. It can

only be refrozen after being cooked.

• 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.

• 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.

• Always follow the food manufacturer's

instructions on the permissible storage duration

of frozen food. Do not exceed the recommended

storage time of food.

- Mark the storage date, permissible storage

duration, and the food name on the packaging

to prevent it from exceeding the storage time

limit.

• 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.

- If the power outage lasts longer, especially

during the summer months, please follow

these guidelines:

- Do not place additional food into the

appliance during the power outage.

- If the power outage is announced and is

expected to last for more than 10 hours,

prepare some ice and put it in a container on

the top shelf of the fridge.

- Due to the temperature increase in the

appliance during a power outage or other

malfunction, the shelf life of the food will be

reduced and its quality will decrease. If

necessary, process thawed food and freeze it

again in the cooked state.

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 21 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 left side of lower compartment. Food items

will freeze most quickly in the zone.

• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts

like baskets, drawers, and shelves.

Freezing the Maximum Amount

of Food

If large quantities of food are to be stored, the

icemaker should be taken out of the appliance and

the food should be stacked directly on the freezer

shelves in the freezer compartment.
