WARNING

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in-structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

compartment, unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.

The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance requires special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with services agent or a similarly qualified person.

Be careful that your fingers are not caught in Hinge, Grille Fan Assy, etc.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

CAUTION : DO NOT PUT BOTTLE IN THE FREEZER

Do not place glass containers, bottles or cans (especially those containing carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment, shelves or ice bin that will be exposed to temperatures below freezing.

INSTALLATION

1. INSTRUCTION

Unpack the refrigerator and locate at desired location. Refrigerator should be located properly in ventilated area. Move refrigerator only in front or side direction. Do not move in angle or zigzag direction. After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet. Before moving and discarding the

appliance, disconnect the plug from the socket outlet.

2. LEVELLING

Levelling of refrigerator should be done with front leg. Refrigerator should be levelled with front to back inclination for base.

Dimensions and Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in degradation of freezing capability and increased electricity costs. Allow over 200mm clearance from each adjacent wall when installing the appliance.

Ambient Temperature

The appliance is designed to operate within a limited range of ambient temperatures, depending on the climate zone. do not use the appliance at a temperature exceeding the limit. The internal temperatures could be affected by the location of the appliance, the ambient temperature, the frequency of door opening and so on.

The climate class can be found on the rating label.

*Australia, India, Kenya

NOTE

The appliances rated from SN to T are intended to be used at an ambient temperature between 10 C

and 43 C

Operation

Refrigerator Temperature Control

Specially designed knob gives your facility to control temperature inside Refrigerator.

Defrosting

It is natural for moisture in the air to condense on the cold surface. This leads to a regular build up of frost on the surface of the freezer and the cooling in the fresh food compartment. This frost accumulation reduces the cooling effect, thereby reducing efficiency. Therefore, periodic defrosting is necessary to ensure optimum performance.

The water in the drain tray evaporates by natural evaporation if defrosting is

done once in two days. However, due to varied conditions of usage it is desirable to check the drain-tray occasionally and dispose of the water, if any, Please ensure that the chiller tray is in its correct position by pushing it to its correct position by pushing it to its extreme. Otherwise the defrosting water may fall over the contents of the refrigerator.

Manual Defrosting : However in some models, in case of defrosting or power

failure the water directly accumulates in chiller tray, dispose off water directly from chiller tray by taking it out.

If water overflows from tray drip, disassemble it and remove the water from it.

ICE MAKING

Fill ice trays with water, place in Freeze Box.

To remove ice cube, gently Twist Ice Tray.

Note : Push the Defrost Knob after every 2 days / Ice Level reaches defrost indicator.

VACATION TIME

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.

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.

LAMP REPLACEMENT (Optional)

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.

l 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.

l Don’t open the refrigerator door too often-hot air will enter and increase the temperature. l Don’t keep the door open for more than 30 seconds at a time-cold air will rush out of the fridge. l Don’t cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets. This prevents air circulation inside the cabinet. l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l Do not keep very hot objects on the table top since the plastic material may get damaged.

l 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.

l Do Not Modify or Extend the power cord length. It will cause electric Shock or fire. l The tempered glass on door can be broken by impact, do not touch the broken parts you may injured. l While removing/disassembling shelf/tray use handle/slot for easy removing.

Safety : When disposing the refrigerator, remove the packing materials like gasket from the door. It may cause to lock out the child.
