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.
•  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.
Door Open Alarm
This feature is only available on some models.
The alarm sounds if the door is left open or not 
completely closed.
•  Contact the LG Electronics customer information 
centre if the alarm sound continues even after 
closing all doors.
High Temperature Alarm
This feature is only available on some models.
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.
•  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, keep all 
inner parts (e.g. door bins, drawers and shelves) 
on their original location.
•  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.
