CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FOODSTUFF STORAGE

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at
low temperature, such as banana, and melon.

• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.
Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could
spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.

• When storing the food, use a container
with a lid. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its
taste and nutrients.

• Do not block air vents with food.
Smooth circulation of cold air keeps
fridge-freezer temperature even.

• Do not open the door frequently. Opening
the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer,
and cause temperature to rise.

• To adjust the temperature control easily,
do not store food near the temperature
control dial.

• Never keep too many foods in door rack,
as this may stop the door from fully closing.

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

• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed.
This causes loss of taste and nutrition.

• If it is necessary to quickly freeze fresh
foodstuffs, place them to the lower drawer
of the freezing compartment and push
the "QUICK FREEZE" button;

• Frozen foodstuffs should be stored packed
(in polyethylene film, aluminum foil, etc.) in
the freezing compartment;

• Volume of the upper drawer in the freezing
compartment is the "two stars" section.
Temperature inside this section does not
rise above -12°C. This should be taken into
account for storage of foodstuffs.

CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, make sure that power
supply is switched off;

2. Outside and inside, the refrigerator should
be washed with a clean napkin wetted in
warm water with a liquid detergent.
Then wipe dry with a dry napkin;

3. After cleaning, make sure that the power
cord is not damaged.
Then tightly insert the plug to the power
outlet.

1.

It is prohibited to use abrasive materials,
gasoline, benzene, solvents, hydrochloride,
hot water, hard brushes, etc., which may
damage the refrigerator surface.

2. For products with a stainless steel exterior,
use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mildDetergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a Soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax, bleach, or other
products containing chlorine on stainless
steel.

VITAMIN PLUS (OPTIONAL)

It contains anti-oxydant that is able to avoid
oxidation process in order to make the fruits
and vegetables fresh for longer time.

This part contains anti-oxydant substance that
should not be eaten.Opening and closing the
door too much often can reduce its lifetime.

12

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

Electric power failure.

• An interruption in electric power supply for
1-2 hours will not harm the stored foodstuffs.
Try to less frequently open and close the
refrigerator door during this period.

DURING MOVE:

• Remove all foodstuffs and other objects
from the refrigerator. Firmly secure the
internal detachable parts
(shelves, drawers, door baskets);

• To avoid damage of the floor and adjustable
feet of the refrigerator, turn them
counter-clockwise before transportation;

• The refrigerator should be firmly secured in
the truck to prevent its hits and falling
inside the truck during transportation;

• The refrigerator should be transported in
vertical position in a covered vehicle.
The original package should not be
damaged during transportation;

• During loading and unloading, the
refrigerator should be protected against hits.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON:

• If the refrigerator is transported in cold
season, unpack the refrigerator in a warm
room and do not switch on it for at least
12 hours.

NOTE

If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and
humid place, frequently opening

the door or putting a lot of vegetables in it may
cause condensation to form.
This has no effect on its performance.
Remove the condensation with a dry, dust-free

cloth.

If droplets form beneath the cover of the
vegetable drawer,keep vegetables or fruits
wrapped with plastic wrap.

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION FEATURES

Cracking noise may be heard due to thermal
deformations of the refrigerator components.
Typical sounds from activation of the
thermostatic controller and compressor are
normal sounds occurring during operation of
electric equipment in the appliance.
The refrigerant circulating inside the
refrigeration system may calmly gurgle,
even if the compressor is idle.
Do not worry, this is absolutely normal.
The following sounds may be heard during
operation of the refrigerator:

- Clicks from actuation of the temperature
sensor/switch;

- Murmur of the refrigerant circulating in tubes
of the refrigeration system;

- Slight cracking noise from thermal
deformations of materials.
These sounds are not associated with any
defect and they have a functional aspect.

ANTI-CONDENSATION TUBE:

• The anti-condensation tube is laid inside
the enclosure around the front face of the
refrigerator to exclude moisture
condensation;

• The refrigerator may greatly heat up in
these places, especially immediately after
switching on for the first time or at high
ambient temperature.

Anti-condensation tube

Do not move or incline the refrigerator during
its operation.

Noise may occur in the compressor.
This feature does not affect operability of
the compressor.

Dry ice is very cold! Do not allow it to touch
bare skin. It is well below °F and will cause
immediate frostbite and damage to the skin
and other tissue.
Dty ice frozen carbon dioxide. Use only in a
well ventilated area.As the ice releases carbon
dioxode vapor,it could cause light-headedness,
fainting,suffocation, or death.

SMART DIAGNOSIS(Option)

SMART DIAGNOSIS

Should you experience any problems with
your refrigerator, it has the capability of
transmitting data via your telephone to the LG
service center. This gives you the capability of
speaking directly to our trained specialists. The
specialist records the data transmitted from
your machine and uses it to analyze the issue,
providing a fast and effective diagnosis.

If you experience problems with your
refrigerator, call the phone No. of LG
Customer Information Center. Only use
the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed
to do so by the LG call center agent. The
transmission sounds that you will hear are
normal and sound similar to a fax machine.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless
your refrigerator is connected to power. If
your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then
troubleshooting must be done without using
Smart Diagnosis.

Using Smart Diagnosis

First, call the phone No. of LG Customer
Information Center. Only use the Smart
Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so
by the LG call center agent.

Lock the display. (Option)

1

Lock button for three seconds. (If the
display has been locked for over five
minutes, you must deactivate the lock
and then reactivate it.)

Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in

3

front of the speaker that is located on the
right hinge of the refrigerator door, when
instructed to do so by the call center.

Press and hold the Freezer Temperature

4

button for three seconds while continuing
to hold your phone to the speaker.

After you hear three beeps, release the

5

Freezer Temperature button.

Keep the phone in place until the tone

6

transmission has finished. This takes about
15 seconds, and the display will count
down the time. Once the countdown is
over and the tones have stopped, resume
your conversation with the specialist, who
will then be able to assist you in using the
information transmitted for analysis.

NOTE

For best results, do not move the phone
while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.
