This document is an owner's manual for an LG refrigerator and freezer. It provides comprehensive information on the device's functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The LG refrigerator and freezer is designed for household use, offering various features to store food and beverages efficiently. It includes a fridge compartment and a freezer compartment, with some models featuring a "Door in Door" for easy access to frequently used items and an "InstaView Door in Door" that allows users to see inside without opening the door. The appliance is equipped with an automatic icemaker, an ice and water dispenser, and various shelves, drawers, and door baskets for organized storage. Some models also include an "InstaView" feature, which allows users to see inside the refrigerator without opening the door, and a "Craft Icemaker" for producing slow-melting ice. The device integrates with the LG ThinQ application for smart functions, enabling users to control and monitor the appliance remotely. It also supports "Smart Diagnosis" for troubleshooting issues.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual specifies ambient temperature ranges for different climate classes:
- SN (Extended Temperate): +10 - +32 °C
- N (Temperate): +16 - +32 °C
- ST (Subtropical): +16 - +38 / +18 - +38 °C
- T (Tropical): +10 - +43 / +16 - +43 / +18 - +43 °C
The appliance uses isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is a flammable gas. The amount of refrigerant is indicated on the identification plate inside the appliance. For models with a water dispenser, the water supply requirements are typically between 138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4 - 8.4 kgf/cm²). The water filter has a capacity of 1,892 litres and should be replaced every 6 months or when the indicator lights turn on. The water supply flow rate is 1.9 lpm.
Usage Features
Installation:
- The appliance should be transported by two or more people and installed on a firm, level floor, allowing at least 50 mm clearance at the back for ventilation.
- It should not be installed in direct sunlight, or in areas subject to weathering conditions such as direct sunlight, wind, rain, or temperatures below freezing.
- Connecting the water line requires careful attention to avoid leaks and ensure proper water pressure.
- Levelling and door alignment are crucial for optimal performance and to prevent the doors from not closing easily.
Operation:
- Before Use: Users should keep in mind that the front can form dew if the door is not closed completely or if humidity is high during summer. Ensure sufficient space between food stored on shelves or in door baskets.
- Temperature Control: The control panel allows users to set desired temperatures for the fridge and freezer compartments. The default fridge temperature is 3 °C, and the default freezer temperature is -18 °C.
- Express Cool/Freeze: These functions quickly cool or freeze a large amount of food.
- Ice and Water Dispenser: Requires a connected water line. Users should discard the first few batches of ice and cups of water after installation or filter replacement.
- Automatic Icemaker: Produces ice automatically. Some models have a "Craft Icemaker" that produces slow-melting ice.
- InstaView: Allows users to see inside the fridge by knocking twice on the glass.
- Door in Door: Provides easy access to frequently used items.
- Storage: The manual provides guidance on storing different types of food in specific compartments (e.g., vegetables in drawers, eggs in egg boxes) to maintain freshness.
- Smart Functions: The LG ThinQ application allows users to communicate with the appliance, monitor its status, and use "Smart Diagnosis" for troubleshooting.
