Safety Precautions

n The meanings of the symbols used in this manual are as shown below.

This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to properties only.

This symbol alerts you to the risk of electric shock.

Be sure not to do.

Be sure to follow the instruction.

Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length.

• It will cause electric shock or fire.

Power Cord Replacement

When the power cord or the power plug is damaged or the holes of the outlet are loosed, do not use them.

It may cause electric shock or short circuit to make fire.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Lamp Replacement

same size, shape and wattage.

• Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

• Remove the lamp cover by pulling outside.

• Make sure the bulbs are cool to touch.

• Remove the lamp by turning it clockwise.

• Put new lamp and tighten it by turning it counter clockwise.

• Make sure the bulb is properly tightened.

• Put the cover lamp back and push it gently with your thumb till a click sound appears.

Child Entrapment Warning

An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous attraction to children. Remove gaskets, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused appliance, or take some other action to make it harmless.

About earthing

In the event of an electric short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Improper use of the earthing plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly earthed.

In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be earthed.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

NEVER STORE EXPLOSIVES AND CHEMICALS INSIDE REFRIGERATOR.

Wax

Unplug the appliance before cleaning or maintenance.

Never place glass products in the freezer because they may break due to expansion when their contents are frozen.

To prevent injury to the user and property damage, the following instructions must be followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instruction will cause harm or damage, the seriousness is classified by the following indications.

Otherwise, it will cause electric shock or fire due to heat generation or electrical shock.

Do not modify power cord length or share the outlet with other appliances.

It will cause e lectrical shock or fire due to heat g eneration.

Operate or stop the unit by switch only.

It will cause electrical shock or fire due to heat generation.

Do not operate with wet hands or in damp environment.

It may cause electric al shock.

Do not use a damaged or an unspecified power cord.

It will cause electrical shock or fire. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Do not splash water on your refrigerator.

It may cause short circuit.

Cautions

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.

Operating Procedure

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.

Defrost regularly to avoid heavy frost building on the evaporator which results in reduced cooling efficiency.

Push the defrost Knob after every 3 days / Ice Level reaches defrost indicator.

Do not use sharp tool to remove ice tray, otherwise you may puncture the evaporator resulting gas leakage thus non performance of refrigerator

Ice Making

Fill ice trays with water, place in freeze Box.

To remove ice cube, gently twist Ice Tray.

How to get good results

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 and increase in power consumption.

- 8 -

Don't open the refrigerator door too often-hot air will enter and increase the temperature.

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

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.

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 (160-260V), Stabilizer usage increases the refrigerator life.

Before Calling for Service

Type of Com pl aint Proba bl e Cause

Refrigerator does

1. not work.

Refrigerator

2. attempts to

but does not operate.

Refrigerator contents

3. not cooling and Difficulty in formation of ice and ice-cream.

Formation of water

4. drops on exterior of refrigerator.

start,

Thermostat switch in ‘ OFF' position.

Power Supply Off.

Stabilizer not working properly

Low Voltage.

Defrosting over due Restriction of cold

air circulation. Improper thermostat

control selection. Storing hot foods.

High humidity during monsoon season.

Remedy

Check that the thermostat knob is on 'Normal' (No.4) position and not in off position.

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.

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.

Defrost the refrigerator. Provide space in between the dishes. If the shelves are

covered with cloth or polythene, remove it. If the refrigerator is required to give a low temperature turn

the thermostat knob towards colder (No.7) position. 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.

Formation of droplets

5. on the underside of the Chiller tray.

Smell and odour.

Noise

Noise from Freezer

Hot and humid climate.

Improper covering and wrapping of food.

Normal cut-of/ cut-in noise

Hissing noise from Freezer

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.

Wrap and cover food stuffs 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.

Whenever refrigerator starts & stop there is noise of Thermostat cut-off/ cut-in & Compressor start/stop. This is a normal phenomenon.

This is normal gas expansion noise
