This document is an owner's manual for an LG Refrigerator Freezer, identified by P/NO: MFL67239983. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, along with important safety information and energy-saving tips.
Function Description
The LG Refrigerator Freezer is designed for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast environments, and catering. Its primary function is to store fresh and frozen foods, maintaining optimal temperatures to preserve freshness and flavor. The appliance features separate compartments for refrigeration and freezing, each with independent temperature controls.
Important Technical Specifications
The refrigerator uses isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility, though it is combustible. The amount of refrigerant used is specified on the identification plate inside the appliance, and the room size for installation must be at least 1 m² for every 8g of R600a to prevent a flammable gas air mixture in case of a leak. The appliance is designed to operate within specific voltage consents and requires proper grounding to prevent electric shock. It incorporates an anti-condensation pipe to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall by pumping hot refrigerant. The product applies LED lamps for illumination, which are not user-replaceable and require authorized service for replacement.
Usage Features
Installation:
- Location: Should be placed where it's easy to use, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, or moisture.
- Ventilation: Requires at least 10 inches (25 cm) clearance above and 2 inches (5 cm) or more from the wall for proper air circulation.
- Leveling: Must be level to avoid vibrations; leveling screws can be adjusted by tipping the cabinet slightly. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid door closing.
- Temperature: Not recommended for installation below 5°C, as it may cause debasement of the refrigerator.
- Initial Use: After installation, allow 2-3 hours for stabilization before filling with food. If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.
Temperature Control:
- Refrigerator Compartment: Features a temperature control button, with a default setting of 'NORMAL' (or '3°C' for external controller models). Temperature can be set in 7 steps from MIN (warmest) to MAX (coldest).
- Freezer Compartment: Controlled by a temperature control dial, with a default setting of '3'. Turning the knob right increases cooling (higher number), and turning left decreases cooling (smaller number). Knob '7' is for quick freezing.
- Sensors: A temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment automatically starts and stops the compressor.
Special Features:
- Door Alarm: Sounds three times if a door is open for 1 minute, repeating every 30 seconds if it remains open.
- Self Test: Built-in diagnostic capability displays error codes for troubleshooting.
- Express Freeze (Optional): Operates at maximum cooling capacity to quickly lower freezer temperature, shutting off automatically or manually.
- Lock (Optional): A button to lock the control panel, preventing accidental changes.
- Hygiene Fresh (Optional): An antibacterial filter with deodorizer function to remove viruses, bacteria, and scents. It has AUTO and POWER modes.
- Ice Making: Twisting Ice Serve Type allows users to fill trays with water, freeze, and then twist a lever to drop ice cubes into a box. The ice maker can be disassembled for more freezer space.
- Vegetable Drawer: Includes a partitioner for organized storage. A control knob adjusts humidity.
- Refreshment Center (Optional): A door bin that can be tilted forward for easy access and then clicked back into position.
- Green Ion Door Cooling (Optional): Anion coating in the duct cover purifies air and helps keep food fresh longer.
- Fresh Zone (Optional): Designed to maintain freshness by minimizing the influence of warmer air when the door is opened.
- Defrosting: Automatic defrosting with water flowing to an evaporating tray at the lower back of the refrigerator.
- Deodorizer (Optional): Located in the cooling air inlet, it deodorizes unpleasant food odors. It can be revived by separating it from the compartment and using a hair dryer or sunlight.
Food Storage Suggestions:
- General: Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment, allow hot food to cool before storing, cover food to prevent moisture evaporation, and avoid blocking air vents.
- Freezer: Do not store bottles, avoid refreezing thawed food, place ice cream on freezer shelves (not door racks), and load food at least 11mm from the back wall for good air circulation.
- Refrigerator: Avoid placing moist food on deep shelves to prevent freezing, store moist food in the vegetable compartment, clean food before refrigeration, and store eggs upright.
Smart Diagnosis (Only for applied models):
- Function: Allows users to contact a service center for precise diagnosis of malfunctions.
- Usage: Open all refrigerator doors (for internal controller models) or lock the display (for external controller models), press the door open detection switch 5 times (internal) or hold the fridge temperature button for 3 seconds (external), then place a phone near the speaker hole at the top right for data transmission.
Maintenance Features
