global_main.book.book Page 17 Wednesday, July 8, 2020 9:41 AM

OPERATION

Before Use

Notes for Operation

• Users should keep in mind that frost can form if

the door is not closed completely or if the

humidity is high during the summer.

• Ensure there is sufficient space between food

stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the

door to close completely.

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a

significant increase of the temperature in the

compartments of the appliance.

• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for

long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and

leave the door open to prevent mould

developing within the appliance.

Door Open Alarm

The alarm sounds 3 times in 30 second intervals if

the door is left open or not completely closed for 1

minute.

NOTE

• Contact the LG Electronics customer information

centre if the alarm sound continues after 30

seconds even after closing all doors.

Failure Detection

The appliance can automatically detect problems

during the operation.

NOTE

• If a problem is detected, the appliance may not

operate and an error code is displayed even

when any button is pressed.

• If an error code is indicated on the display, do

not turn off the power. Immediately contact the

LG Electronics customer information centre and

report the error code. If you turn off the power,

the repair technician from the our information

centre may have difficulty finding the problem.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored

foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly

and lowers electricity bills.

• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to

prevent dew or frost.

• When storing food in the freezer compartment,

set the freezer temperature lower than the

temperature indicated on the food.

• Do not set the temperature of the appliance

lower than needed.

• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of

the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at

least 3 cm from the sensor.

• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has

a permissible range in the appliance

specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact

on the food storage due to a temperature rise,

seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.

• The automatic defrosting system in the

appliance ensures that the compartment

remains free of ice buildup under normal

operating conditions.

Storing Foods Effectively

• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside

sealed containers.

• Check the expiration date and label (storage

instructions) before storing food in the

appliance.

• Do not store food for a long period of time (more

than 4 weeks) if it spoils easily at a low

temperature.

• Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with

food that is already frozen. It could be necessary

to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing

every day is anticipated.

global_main.book.book Page 18 Wednesday, July 8, 2020 9:41 AM

OPERATION

• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in

each fridge or freezer compartment

immediately after purchasing.

• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in

the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or

drip onto other food.

• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be

stored on top of the vegetable drawer.

• Avoid refreezing any food which has been

completely thawed. Freezing any food which has

been completely thawed again will lower its taste

and nutrition.

• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not

circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot

food is placed inside, the internal temperature of

the appliance can increase and negatively affect

other foods stored in the appliance.

• If you set an excessively low temperature for

food, it may become frozen. Do not set a

temperature lower than the required

temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

• If there are chill compartments in the appliance,

do not store vegetables and fruits with higher

moisture content in the chill compartments as

they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity

company and ask how long it is going to last.

- You should avoid door openings while the

power is off.

- When the power supply gets back to normal,

check the condition of the food.

Max Freezing Capacity

•

Express Freeze

function will allow the freezer to

reach its maximum freezing capacity. This

generally takes up to 24 hours and automatically

switches off.

•

Express Freeze

must be switched on for 2 hours

before fresh products are placed in the freezer

compartment.

• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts

like baskets, drawers, and shelves.

Freezing the Maximum Amount

of Food

If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the

freezer drawers should be taken out of the

appliance and the food should be stacked directly

on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.

CAUTION

• To remove the drawers, first remove the food

from drawers and then pull out the drawers

carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or

damage to the drawers.

NOTE

• The shape of each drawer may be different,

insert in the right position.

Two Star Compartment

• Two star (

) basket or drawer can be used to

store ice and food from -12 °C to -18 °C for short

periods.

• Two star frozen food compartments are suitable

for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making

icecream and making ice cubes.

• Two star compartments are not suitable for the

Ice and Water Dispenser

Before Using the Ice and Water

Dispenser

CAUTION

• Keep children away from the dispenser to

prevent children playing with or damaging the

controls.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20

cubes and 7 cups of water). This is also necessary

if the appliance has not been used for a long

time.

• Clean the water dispensing system if they have

not been used for 48 hours. Flush the water

system connected to a water supply if water has

not been drawn for 5 days.

• To clean the water dispensing system, flush the

water through the dispenser about 5 minutes

and throw away the first few batches of ice.

• Do not use a thin crystal cup or chinaware when

dispensing water or ice.

NOTE

• If you open the freezer door while water is being

dispensed, the water dispensing will stop.

• If you open the fridge door while water, cubed

ice or crushed ice is being dispensed, dispensing

will be paused. When you close the door, the

selected item will continue to be dispensed.

• If the cup rim is small, water may splash out of

the glass or miss it completely.

• Use a cup with a rim of over 68 mm in diameter

when dispensing water, cubed ice or crushed ice.

• When the ice maker produces smaller ice cubes,

or the cubes become lumped together, the

amount of water supplied to the ice maker may

be low due to insufficient water in the water

tank. If ice is not used frequently or the freezer

set temperature is too warm, it may also lump

together.

• It is normal for milky / cloudy water to be

dispensed after replacing the water filter. This

air in the water will eventually clear and is safe to

drink during this transition.

Using the Ice and Water

Dispenser

Press the dispenser selection button repeatedly

until the light above the icon that you want

illuminates.

OPERATION

Refit the water dispenser tank on the fridge

shelf.

WARNING

• Fill with potable water only into icemaker or

dispenser water tank.

• Do not fill the water tank with drinks other than

water or fill with hot water.

CAUTION

• Do not apply excessive force or impact when

removing or assembling the water dispenser

tank. Doing so can cause appliance damage or

injury.

• Children should not be allowed near the

dispenser tank.

NOTE

• Before using the water dispenser tank after

installing the appliance, it should be washed

before filling it with water.

• Check if the water dispenser tank has been

placed on the appliance correctly. If it is not

assembled correctly, water may leak from the

tank into the appliance.

• If there is an insufficient amount of water in the

water dispenser tank, ice cube size and quantity

may be affected and may result in no ice being

made.

• If there is no water in the water dispenser tank,

the cold water and ice dispensing function of the

dispenser cannot be used. Check if there is water

in the water dispenser tank and then fill it with

water if there is not.

• Wait at least 15 seconds before removing the

water tank after having dispensed water or ice

from the dispenser.

• Sound from the water tank will be normal when

supplying water to the dispenser and the

Automatic Ice Maker. It is not a sign of

malfunction.

Automatic Icemaker

This feature is only available on some models.

This feature may vary depending on model

purchased.

Before Using the In-Door

Icemaker

• The icemaker produces ice normally when

approximately 48 hours have passed after the

appliance is initially installed.

• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice

production will stop.

• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.

• If ice cubes are stored in the ice bin for a long

period of time, they may clump together and

may not be separated easily. In such a case,

empty the ice bin and allow fresh ice to be made.

CAUTION

• It is normal for milky or cloudy water to be

dispensed after replacing the water filter. This

air in the water will clear eventually and is safe to

drink.

• The first ice and water dispensed may include

particles or odour from the water supply line or

the water tank.

• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water

tank and the water supply for a possible source.

If the problem continues, contact the LG

Electronics customer information centre. Do not

use the ice or water until the problem is

corrected.

• Do not touch the ice outlet or the automatic

icemaker with your hand or a tool.

• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with

water or other beverages. Splashing will occur if

ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains

liquid.
