Do you have a question about the LG GR-389SVQF and is the answer not in the manual?

This document is a user manual for an LG refrigerator-freezer, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The LG refrigerator-freezer is designed to store food items at controlled temperatures, offering both refrigeration and freezing capabilities. It features separate compartments for fresh food and frozen items, each with independent temperature controls. The device includes a "Quick Freeze" function for rapid freezing of food and a "Vacation" mode to save energy when the appliance is not in active use for extended periods. An "Ice Making" feature allows for the production of ice cubes, and a "Door Alarm" alerts the user if the refrigerator door is left open. The appliance also incorporates a "Self Test" function to help diagnose operational issues.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific numerical technical specifications like dimensions, weight, or energy consumption are not explicitly listed in the provided excerpts, the manual implies several functional specifications:

Temperature Control: The refrigerator and freezer compartments have independent temperature controls. The refrigerator control ranges from "MIN" to "MAX" with intermediate settings, while the freezer temperature is set at a "mid-point" by default, with indicators showing five levels of coldness.
Defrosting: The appliance features an automatic defrosting system, where defrosting water flows to an evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
Power Supply: The device requires a standard power supply connection. Users are cautioned against using extension cords and are advised to ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
Grounding (Earthing): The refrigerator-freezer must be properly grounded to prevent electric shock.
Anti-Condensation Pipe: An anti-condensation pipe is installed around the front side of the refrigerator-freezer and on the partition between the fridge and freezer compartments to prevent dew formation. This pipe may feel warm, which is normal.

Usage Features

The manual outlines several key usage features:

Installation:
- Location: The appliance should be placed on a good, level surface, away from direct sunlight or moisture, and not near heat sources.
- Air Circulation: Proper air circulation around the refrigerator-freezer is crucial for efficient operation. It should be placed at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the wall in a recessed area.
- Leveling: The appliance must be leveled using adjustable leveling screws to ensure proper door closure and prevent vibrations.
- Cleaning: The interior should be cleaned before initial use.
- Power Connection: The power cord should be connected to a dedicated outlet.
- Initial Operation: After installation, the refrigerator-freezer should be allowed to stabilize for 2-3 hours before filling with fresh or frozen foods. If power is disconnected, a 5-minute delay is recommended before restarting.
Operation:
- Temperature Control: Users can adjust the refrigerator temperature using a knob (MIN to MAX) and the freezer temperature using a button (FREEZE TEMP) with visual indicators for coldness levels.
- Quick Freeze: This function rapidly freezes food, typically taking about 3 hours. It automatically turns off after completion.
- Vacation Mode: Reduces energy consumption when the appliance is not in active use.
- Self Test: Helps identify potential problems by checking the temperature control and indicator lights.
- Door Alarm: Sounds if the door is left open for an extended period.
- Ice Making: Instructions are provided for filling the ice tray and placing it in the freezer. A "Quick Freeze" button can be used for faster ice production.
Food Storage Suggestions:
- Avoid storing perishable foods like bananas and melons at low temperatures.
- Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Store food in containers with lids to prevent moisture loss and maintain freshness.
- Do not block air vents to ensure smooth circulation of cold air.
- Open the door infrequently to maintain temperature.
- Do not adjust temperature control unnecessarily.
- Avoid overfilling door racks to prevent the door from closing fully.
- Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment.
- Do not refreeze thawed food.
- Keep the refrigerator-freezer in a hot, humid place clean to prevent dew formation.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides detailed instructions for maintaining the appliance:

General Information:
- Power Failure: In case of a power failure, avoid opening the door to minimize food spoilage.
- Moving the Appliance: Secure loose items with tape and adjust leveling screws before moving.
- Anti-Condensation Pipe: The warmth of this pipe is normal and helps prevent condensation.
Lamp Replacement:
- Unplug the power cord.
- Remove fridge shelves.
- Remove the lamp cover by prying it off.
- Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove.
- Install a new lamp by reversing the steps.
Cleaning:
- Before Cleaning: Unplug the appliance.
- Exterior: Clean with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and liquid detergent. Wipe with a clean wet cloth.
- Interior: Clean as above.
- After Cleaning: Check that the power cord is not damaged and properly inserted into the outlet.
- Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaners, petroleum, benzene, thinner, hydrochloric acid, boiling water, rough brushes, etc., as they may damage parts of the refrigerator-freezer.
Disposal of Old Appliance:
- The appliance should be disposed of according to European Directive 2002/96/EC, meaning it should not be discarded with general municipal waste.
- Electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately at designated collection facilities.
- Proper disposal helps prevent negative consequences for the environment and human health.
- Contact local authorities or the retailer for detailed information on disposal.
Troubleshooting:
- A comprehensive troubleshooting guide is provided to address common issues such as the refrigerator not operating, temperature being too warm, vibrations, frost/ice formation, moisture on surfaces, odors, and the door not closing properly.
- Solutions include checking power connections, adjusting temperature controls, ensuring proper leveling, and cleaning.
Reversing the Doors:
- Detailed, step-by-step instructions with diagrams are provided for changing the direction of the doors (left-hand to right-hand swing or vice versa) to suit kitchen design.
- Precaution: Before reversing the doors, remove all food and accessories. Use a torque wrench or spanner to fix or remove bolts. Do not lay the refrigerator-freezer down. Be careful not to drop the doors during disassembly or assembly.
- The manual explicitly states that reversing the doors is not covered by the warranty.
