This document is an owner's manual for an LG refrigerator-freezer, providing comprehensive information on its operation, maintenance, and safety.
Function Description
The LG refrigerator-freezer is designed for domestic indoor use only, offering both refrigeration and freezing capabilities. It features a dual-compartment design with a dedicated freezer compartment and a refrigerator section, including various shelves, drawers, and specialized compartments to optimize food storage. The appliance is equipped with a Smart Diagnosis™ system (optional) that allows for remote troubleshooting by transmitting data via telephone to an LG service center, aiding in quick and efficient problem resolution. An optional Tag On function further enhances smart diagnosis and provides additional features through an NFC-enabled smartphone. The appliance also includes a high-temperature alarm to alert users to potential issues with the freezer's temperature, such as power outages or prolonged door openings.
Important Technical Specifications
The refrigerator-freezer operates within specific climate classes, which determine the ambient temperature range for optimal performance. These classes include SN (Subnormal: +10 to +32 °C), N (Normal: +16 to +32 °C), ST (Subtropical: +16 to +38 °C), and T (Tropical: +16 to +43 °C). Users should ensure their appliance's climate class matches the ambient temperature of their location. The appliance uses isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. The amount of refrigerant varies by model, but for every 8g of R600a refrigerant, the room must be at least 1m² in size. The maximum freezing capacity is achieved by pressing the "Express Frz." button for three seconds, which sets the freezer to the coldest condition (-23°C) for a period of 7 hours. The appliance is designed to operate on a standard independent power socket to prevent overloading and power outages.
