OPERATION
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 even after
closing all doors.
High Temperature Alarm
The high temperature alarm is a function that
warns when the temperature of the freezer
increases enough to be a problem. The freezer
temperature display LED flashes and the alarm
sounds.
• This alarm sounds in the following cases:
- When the appliance is turned on for the first
time (therefore the freezer temperature is
high).
- When the freezer door is open for a long time
or opens very frequently.
- When the power goes out for a long period of
time.
- When larger amounts of hot food are placed
into the freezer.
• Turning off the Alarm
- Press the
Freezer
button until the alarm stops
ringing.
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
• For the most efficient use of energy, make sure
that door bins, drawers and shelves are
assembled properly.
• 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.
19
OPERATION
ENGLISH
• 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
• Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong
temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct
temperature for the food being stored.
• 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 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.
• 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.
Maximum Freezing Capacity
•
Express Freeze
must be switched on for 7 hours
before fresh products are placed in the freezer
compartment.
• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts
like baskets and shelves.
NOTE
• The max freezing capacity of your appliance is
stated on the rating label inside the fridge
compartment.
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.

MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
General Cleaning Tips
• Performing manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning of the appliance while food is stored in
the freezer can raise the temperature of the food
and reduce its storage life.
• Regularly clean any surfaces that can come in
contact with food.
• 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 discolouration or
damage to the appliance.
- Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
• After cleaning, check if the power cable is
damaged.
Cleaning the Exterior
• When cleaning the outside air vents of the
appliance by means of vacuuming, then the
power cord should be unplugged from the outlet
to avoid any static discharge that can damage
the electronics or cause an electric shock.
Regular cleaning of the rear and side ventilation
covers is recommended to maintain reliable and
economical operation of the unit.
• Keep the air vents on the exterior of the
appliance clean. Blocked air vents can cause fire
or appliance damage.
• For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use
contaminated cloths when cleaning the stainless
steel doors. Always use a dedicated cloth and
wipe in the same direction as the grain. This
helps reduce surface staining and tarnishing.
Cleaning the Interior
• When removing a shelf or drawer from inside
the appliance, remove all stored foods from the
shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to
the appliance. Otherwise, injury may occur due
to the weight of stored foods.
• Detach the shelves and drawers and clean them
with water, and then dry them sufficiently,
before replacing them.
• Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft
towel.
• Door basket spills and stains should be cleaned
as they can compromise storage ability of the
basket and could even be damaged.
• Never clean the shelves or containers in the
dishwasher. The parts may become deformed
due to the heat.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions. Users do not need to
defrost it manually.
Cleaning the Condenser Cover
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the
condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the
panel covering the condenser coil area.
We recommend that this be done every 12 months
to maintain operating efficiency.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Calling for Service
Ice & Water
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
The automatic
icemaker does not
produce ice or
produces a small
amount of ice.
Did you install the appliance recently?
• The ice maker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have
passed after the appliance is installed.
• If the fridge compartment temperature is too cold, the water filter can
freeze and block the water flow to the ice maker.
Did you connect the water supply pipe to the appliance and open the
supply valve?
• Connect the water supply pipe to the appliance and open the supply valve
completely.
Is the water supply hose bent?
• If the water supply hose is bent, the water flow could be compromised.
Have you dispensed a large amount of ice recently?
• It takes approximately 24 hours to produce more ice in the automatic
icemaker. Please wait.
Did you set the ice maker switch or the automatic icemaker button on
the control panel to ON?
• Press I on the automatic icemaker switch or set
ON
for the automatic
icemaker button on the control panel. (For more details on how to use, visit
LG Electronics website or use your smart device.)
Is the temperature of the freezer compartment set too high?
• If the set temperature is too warm, ice will be produced slowly or not at all.
Set the Freezer temperature to -18 °C for normal operation of the
automatic icemaker.
Have you been opening the appliance door frequently?
• If you open the appliance door frequently, cold air will escape, lowering
the speed of ice production. Do not open and close the appliance door
frequently.
Is the appliance door completely closed?
• If the appliance door is not completely closed, the temperature of the
freezer compartment will increase, slowing down the ice production
speed. Close the appliance door completely.
36
TROUBLESHOOTING
Ice is not dispensed. Unable to hear the sound of ice coming out?
• In the control panel, select the modes for cubed ice and crushed ice
alternately to dispense the ice.
Is the ice path blocked? (You can check the ice passage by separating the
ice bin.)
• Ice may not be dispensed properly if the ice passage is blocked. Check the
ice and clean the ice path regularly.
Water does not come
out.
The supply valve may be turned off. (For Plumbed models Only)
• Open the water supply valve.
• Check if the fridge compartment temperature is too cold, as the water
filter can freeze and block the water flow to the dispenser.
The water dispenser tank may be empty. (Non plumbed models only)
• Fill the water dispenser tank.
Is the water supply valve closed? (For Plumbed models Only)
• Open the water supply valve.
Are you using unfiltered water?
• Unfiltered water can contain a large amount of various heavy metals or
foreign substances, so the filter may be clogged in the early stage
regardless of the life of the filter.
Water tastes strange. Is the taste of water different when comparing it with the taste of water
from the previous water purifier?
• Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended period
of time?
Has it been a long time since you installed and replaced the filter?
• If an expired filter is used, the purification performance may decline. It is
recommended to replace the filter according to the filter replacement
period.
Have you flushed out the filter properly in the initial stage after
installing it?
• When you install or replace the filter for the first time, you need to remove
air and activated carbon residue from inside the filter. Use the appliance
after dispensing and discharging approximately 5 litres of purified water
from the dispenser by pressing the water dispensing lever. (Activated
carbon is harmless to humans.)
Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended
period of time?
• The taste of old water may change due to bacterial growth. Use the
product after dispensing and discharging approximately 5 litres
(approximately three minutes) from the water dispenser.
