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:
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 1m in size for every 8g 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.

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.
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.
bad odour molecule
••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.

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
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).

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.
Freezer door basket marked is two star compartment (temperature -12°C), which is suitable for short
term storage of frozen food only.
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 (100~310V)**, Stabilizer usage increases the refrigerator life.
Suggestions
Cleaning
When cleaning the inside or outside of the appliance, do not wipe it with a rough
brush, toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use cleaning agents containing
flammable substances.
• This may cause discoloration or damage to the appliance.
• Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl
alcohol, etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable liquid, abrasive, etc.
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.
