BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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), but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential

sources of ignition and air 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 is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1

m in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord

is not trapped or damaged.

Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or

portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

SUGGESTIONS

Cover or wrap all foods that you put into your refrigerator with polythene or aluminium foil, preventing the mixing of flavours and to keep the food from drying.

Don’t keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator. This will result in an increased temperature of other food in the fridge and may lead to deterioration.

Don’t open the refrigerator door too often-hot air will enter and increase the temperature. Don’t keep the door open for more than 30 seconds at a time-cold air will rush out of the fridge. Don’t cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets. This prevents air circulation inside the cabinet. Don’t use a knife or sharp instrument to remove the ice trays from the freezer or to remove the frost

mechanically as it may damage the freezer coil. Fridge will automatically switched off when the proper temperature is attained. Don’t switch off the

fridge at night, this will create higher temperature inside the cabinet thus deteriorating stored foods. Feel free to call your LG Dealer or LG Representative in case your refrigerator has suffered and

damage in transit. The Dealer or the Company Representative will assess the extent of damage and give you an estimate for repairs.

Don’t switch on the refrigerator, unless a minimum period of four minutes lapses after it was switched off, either due to power failure or otherwise.

Don’t allow food stuffs smeared with salt to come in direct contact with the freezer. It is a good practice to always keep the food in a container before placing in the freezer.

Do not use or store inflammable materials like ether, benzene, alcohol, medicine, LP gas, spray or cosmetics near or in the refrigerator. It may cause explosion or fire.

Do Not Modify or Extend the power cord length. It will cause electric Shock or fire. 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.

LAMP REPLACEMENT (Optional)

1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

2. Remove refrigerator shelves.

3. Remove the lamp by turning it counterclockwise as shown in the figure at right.

4. Assemble in reverse order of disassembly. Replacement bulb must be the same specification as original.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS

EXTERIOR -Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the refrigerator. Wipe with a

clean, damp cloth and then dry. INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. If you have to wash all compartments with a mild baking soda solution, then rinse and dry the compartment. POWER FAILURE - Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. 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 YOU MOVE - Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.

SUGGESTIONS

Check for yourself

Type of Complaint

Probable Cause

Remedy

Refrigerator does not work.

– Thermostat switch in 'OFF' position.

Check that the thermostat knob is on‘Normal' position and not in off position.

– Power Supply Off.

Check that the refrigerator main supply plug is connected to the wall socket and that the supply is on. Check that the fuse is intact in the supply line.

Refrigerator attempts to start, but does not operate.

– Low Voltage.

Install a line-correcting transformer in the mains, or a Voltage Stabilizer.

Refrigerator contents not cooling.

– Defrosting over due

Defrost the refrigerator.

– Restriction of cold air circulation.

Provide space in between the dishes. If the shelves are covered with cloth or polythene, remove it.

– Improper thermostat control selection.

If the refrigerator is required to give a low temperature turn the thermostat knob towards colder (Max) position.

– Entry of hot air.

Opening and closing of the door too often will result in hot air from outside rushing into the refrigerator causing the temperature to go up. Reduce the frequency of opening of the door

– Storing hot foods.

Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.

Formation of water drops on exterior of refrigerator.

– High humidity during monsoon season.

During the monsoon, when the humidity in the atmosphere reaches around 90% water droplets may form around the sides of the refrigerator cabinet, especially the top portion. This moisture should be wiped off periodically. Contact our serviceman to check the door seal for proper and uniform contact with the cabinet.

Formation of droplets on the underside of the Chiller tray.

– Hot and humid climate.

In hot and humid weather the moist air rushes inside whenever the refrigerator door is opened. This results in excess frosting on the Evaporator, and condensation on the Chiller tray bottom. Avoid too frequent door openings.

Smell and odour.

– Improper covering and wrapping of food.

Wrap and cover foodstuffs properly. Place caps on bottles and other liquid stores. If the smell persists, defrost the refrigerator, remove all foodstuffs, clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe it dry before restarting.

Difficulty in formation of ice and icecream.

– Incorrect thermostat setting.

Set the thermostat on 'Colder' (Max) position.

– Defrosting overdue.

Excessive frost on the freezer compartment should be defrosted. Ensure that the container of ice-cream or ice is in proper contact with the surface of the freezer. Do not use bowls.
