16 OPERATION

OPERATION

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.

Door Open Alarm

The alarm sounds 3 times in 30 second intervals if the door is left open or not completely closed for 1 minute.

NOTE

- Contact the LG Electronics customer information centre if the alarm sound continues even after closing all doors.

High Temperature Alarm

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 operation.

NOTE

  • 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 our information centre may have difficulty finding the problem.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

  • For the most efficient use of energy, make sure that door bins, drawers and shelves are assembled properly.
  • 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.
  • Do not set the temperature of the appliance lower than needed.
  • Do not put food near the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor.

Pure geometric lines and crosshair symbols without any text or labels

LG GC-B257JEYV - Suggestion for Energy Saving - 4

Pure geometric diagram with intersecting lines and shapes, no text or symbols present

• 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. - The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

Storing Foods Effectively

  • Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct temperature for the food being stored.
  • Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.
  • Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.
  • Do not store food for a long period of time if it spoils easily at a low temperature.

- Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with food that is already frozen. It could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.

- Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.

- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be stored on top of the vegetable drawer.

- Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition.

- Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air cannot circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

- Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the appliance can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the appliance.

• If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a

temperature lower than the required temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

  • If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature. • In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.
  • You should avoid door openings while the power is off.
  • When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food.

Maximum Freezing Capacity

  • Express Freeze must be switched on for 7 hours before fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.
  • To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts like baskets and shelves.

NOTE

  • The max freezing capacity of your appliance is stated on the rating label inside the fridge compartment.
  • For maximum freezing capacity, set the freezer temperature to the coldest temperature setting.

Freezing the Maximum Amount of Food

If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer drawers should be taken out of the appliance and the food should be stacked directly on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.

CAUTION

• To remove the drawers, first remove the food from drawers and then pull out the drawers carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or damage to the drawers.

28 MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

General Cleaning Tips

  • Performing manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning of the appliance while food is stored in the freezer can raise the temperature of the food and reduce its storage life. • Regularly clean any surfaces that can come in contact with food.
  • When cleaning the inside or outside of the appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush, toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use cleaning agents containing flammable substances. This may cause discolouration or damage to the appliance.

- Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable liquid, abrasive, etc.

• After cleaning, check if the power cable is damaged.

Cleaning the Interior

  • When removing a shelf or drawer from inside the appliance, remove all stored foods from the shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to the appliance. Otherwise, injury may occur due to the weight of stored foods.
  • Detach the shelves and drawers and clean them with water, and then dry them sufficiently, before replacing them.
  • Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft towel.
  • Door basket spills and stains should be cleaned as they can compromise storage ability of the basket and could even be damaged.
  • Never clean the shelves or containers in the dishwasher. The parts may become deformed due to the heat.
  • The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions. Users do not need to defrost it manually.

Cleaning the Exterior

  • When cleaning the outside air vents of the appliance by means of vacuuming, then the power cord should be unplugged from the outlet to avoid any static discharge that can damage the electronics or cause an electric shock. Regular cleaning of the rear and side ventilation covers is recommended to maintain reliable and economical operation of the unit.
  • Keep the air vents on the exterior of the appliance clean. Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance damage.
  • For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use contaminated cloths when cleaning the stainless steel doors. Always use a dedicated cloth and wipe in the same direction as the grain. This helps reduce surface staining and tarnishing.

Cleaning the Condenser Cover

Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

We recommend that this be done every 12 months to maintain operating efficiency.

Energy saving tips

  • To use energy most efficiently, make sure the containers on the door, drawers, and shelves are properly arranged.
  • Make sure there is enough space between stored food items. This ensures even distribution of cold air and lower electricity costs.
  • To prevent sweating or freezing, place hot food in the appliance after it has cooled down.
  • When storing food in the refrigerator compartment, set the temperature lower than indicated on the food product.
  • Do not set the appliance temperature lower than required.
  • Do not place food items near the temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor.
  • Note that the technical specifications of the appliance define certain limits regarding temperature rise after defrosting. To minimize the impact on stored food due to temperature rise, tightly cover or wrap stored food items in several layers.
  • Due to the automatic defrosting system in the appliance, no ice forms inside the compartment under normal operating conditions.

Proper food storage

  • Food items may freeze or spoil if stored at incorrect temperatures. Set the refrigerator to a temperature suitable for the stored food.
  • Store frozen or chilled food products in tightly sealed containers.
  • Before placing food in the appliance, check its expiration date and label (storage instructions).
  • If a food product spoils quickly at low temperatures, do not store it for a long time.
  • Do not place unfrozen food directly in contact with frozen food. If daily freezing is intended, it may be necessary to reduce the amount of food to be frozen.
  • Place chilled or frozen food immediately in the appropriate refrigerator or freezer compartment. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so they do not touch or drip onto other foods.
  • Chilled dishes and other food products can be stored above the vegetable drawer.
  • Do not refreeze fully thawed food. Refreezing fully thawed food reduces its taste and nutritional value.
  • Do not overfill the appliance. If the appliance is overfilled, cold air may not circulate properly.
  • Cool hot food before placing it in the appliance. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature may rise and adversely affect other products in the appliance.
  • If you set a temperature too low for food, it may freeze. Do not set a temperature lower than required for proper food storage in the appliance.
  • If the appliance has a chill compartment, do not store fruits and vegetables with high water content in such compartments, as they may freeze due to the low temperature.
  • In case of a power outage, call the service center and ask how long the outage will last.
  • Try not to open the door during a power outage.
  • Once the power supply is restored, check the condition of the food products.
