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.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.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. 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. Do not store excessive amounts of fresh food. 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 24 hours and automatically switches off.Express Freeze must be switched on for 2 hours before fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.To freeze food items quickly, store the food in the center 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.Insert the icemaker in the right position.

Two Star Compartment

This feature is only available on some models.Two star (a) basket or drawer can be used to store ice and food from -12 °C to -18 °C for short periods.Two star frozen food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and making ice cubes.Two star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.The number of freezer door baskets and freezer drawers with two star sections may vary depending on the model purchased.
