Important Safety Information

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that may kill or hurt you or others or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, 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. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and ventilate the room in which the appliance is installed for several minutes. Never Start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If any doubt, consult your dealer.

Natural Gas (Isobutane, R600a)is an environment-friendly refrigerant, even a small amount (30~90g) is combustible. When the gas is leaked due to severe damage during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any spark may cause fire or burn.

Features

Inverter-On Feature (Optional)

1.While using this feature, the refrigerator will work on basic energy requirement as required by the product.

2.The results of the Inverter-On feature may vary depending on the number of appliances that are running on inverter.

3.For optimum running of refrigerator during Inverter-On Mode,it is recommended to switch off the other appliances which are not in use.

4.It is recommended to confirm the quality of food items before consumption.

5.Ice cream etc. may get soften during the use of this feature. If situation arises so, it is recommended to change the setting as per one's choice.

Deodorizer (Optional)

By using a catalyst, deodorizing performance is guaranteed.

bad odour molecule

Unpleasant odour of food in fresh food compartment is deodorized with no harm to you and the food.

How to use

As Deodorizer is located in cooling air path for circulating air in fresh food compartment, there is no need for any handling.

Do not prick the cooling air inlet with a sharp tip because Deodorizer may be damaged.

When storing food with a strong odour, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because odour may be passed on to other foods.

Re-Using of Deodorizer

Keep distance as odour is strong,

Deodorizer can be revived and re-used.

Separate Deodorizer in ceiling of refrigerator compartment, using hair drier to remove moisture or odour and oxidize under sunlight to decomposing odour by ultraviolet rays.

Don't try to remove the deodorizer cover, as you may break the catalyst.

Door Cooling (Optional)

Cool air vent is placed on the refrigerator Inner Case to provide cool air to the Door Shelves.

If foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered due to the escape of cool air. So care should be taken during cleaning.

For better effectiveness deodorizer is placed on return path of air in Refrigerator Compartment.

Door Alarm (Optional)

When the door of refrigerator is opened for 1 minute, an alarm will sound.

Egg-cum-Ice Tray

It is used for storing the eggs. It can also be used for making the ice.

Evercool (Optional)

OPERATIONS

STARTING

When your refrigerator first time installed, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

POWER CUT EVERCOOL (OPTIONAL)

Power Cut Ever Cool is a unique cooling retention function
which retain temperature of freezer and refrigerator	TM
compartment during the power cut off condition.
This function is a patented technology of LG Electronics.

CAUTION

During "Power Cut EverCool" functioning, dew formation may happen on the inner walls of the refrigerator. This is a normal phenomena and will not harm the product functioning in anyway.

When the Power will resume, the dew on the inner walls will be automatically removed. Incase, excess dew is formed. Please remove the same with the help of a soft cloth. During Power ON/OFF, Valve gets activated and will make a one time sound.

•Do not open the valve cover.

•Do not disassemble the PCM tank (mounted on the top side) in freezer compartment.

• In the event of power cut after stabilization. It must be powered for at least 8 hours after power cut to have the maximum cool air retention capability.

Important point for Better performance of Evercool

1.Evercool performance may be deteriorated if the PCM is not freezed properly.

2.In order to maintain Evercool Performance, Don't keep Freezer & Refrigerator knob at warm setting (Freezer 1, Refrigerator 1, 2).

3.Use Seasonal recommended knob setting.

4.Do not open the Door frequently during Power cut off to maintain long time retention (Cooling effect).

ICE MAKING

Double Twist Ice Tray

To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and insert in its position.

To remove ice cubes, hold the lever of the tray and turn gently. Then, ice cubes drop into the ice cube box.

Fill the water upto water level mark in the ice tray.

Instruction for Bank Ice

Use Bank Ice Only To Store Ice Cubes. Do not Make Ice In It, As It May Break.

LED Replacement

This product applies LED Lamp which can not be replaced by the user. Please contact authorized service centre for the lamp replacement.

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.

13

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 glass bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

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.

14

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 (100-290V)**, 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, four people should carry it for its safety. Fasten the door with tape or lock to prevent opening of the refrigerator.
