Suggestions on Food Storage

When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.

Don't keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator. This will result in an increased temperature and increase in power consumption.

Never overload your refrigerator or cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets as it will reduce its efficiency.

Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperature to rise.

Close the door properly, make sure that there is no gap between the gasket and the cabinet of your LG refrigerator.

Wipe excessive moisture on food or place it inside containers or plastic bags. This will help in retaining its freshness for a longer period of time.

Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures. Such as bananas, pineapples, etc.

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing.

Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves. It could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.

It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

When storing eggs in their storage tray, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Feel free to call your LG Customer Information Centre (CIC) / Branch / LG Representative in case your refrigerator has suffered a damage in transit.

It is recommended to use Voltage Stabilizer (0.5KVA) if power fluctuations are frequent and out of specified voltage range (135-290V), Stabilizer usage increases the refrigerator life.

Suggestions

Cleaning

Cleaning of Interior Parts is recommended. Wash all compartments with a mild baking soda solution, then rinse and dry the compartment. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the exterior finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

During Vacations

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odour formation. To operate again, let the refrigerator run for 6-8 hrs. for stabilization.

Shifting

While shifting the refrigerator, two people should carry it for its safety. Fasten the door with tape or lock to prevent opening of the refrigerator.

Remedy

Call an electrician and get it corrected.

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 he supply line. Please plug power cord of refrigerator directly in the wall socket and then check,

if it works then get the stabilizer checked by Stabiizer Repairing Centre.

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

Provide space in between the dishes. If the shelves are covered with cloth or

polythene, remove it.

Set the Refrigerator Temp. Control Knob to colder (Max 5 ~7) position.

Freezer Temp. Control Knob to be adjusted accordingly. At position 9 Freezer

will be coldest.

Opening and closing of the doors 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 doors. Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before

placing them inside the refrigerator.

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 or proper and uniform contact with the cabinet. Lower the setting (1~3) of Refrigerator Temp. Control Knob to make the Refrigerator

Compartment warmer.

Wrap and cover food stuffs properly. Place caps on bottles and other liquid stores.
