Suggestion for energy saving

  • Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
  • Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
  • Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor.
  • Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
  • Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
  • Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.

OPERATIONS

LAMP AUTO OFF FEATURE

When the door is open for 7 minutes or longer, the lamp inside goes off automatically to save energy and prevent overheating. However, the alarm sound continues until the door is closed.

SELF TEST (FOR EXTERNAL CONTROLLER MODEL)

  • Your refrigerator contains a built in diagnostic capability. If it develops a malfunction in certain areas, it will display an error code to assist the repair technician. While an error code is displayed, other control and display functions will not operate.
  • If an error code is displayed, contact a service center. Do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

CONTROLS FOR REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

  • Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
  • Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
  • Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills!
  • When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
  • Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
  • Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

  • Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
  • Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
  • When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
  • It is recommended to load food at least 15mm against freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment.
  • Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing:

LG GT5142PVAS1 - FREEZER COMPARTMENT - 1

text_image Newly Introduced Food

- Freezer Door Basket, marked ( ^** ) is -12^ C compartment, that is suitable for short term storage of frozen food (optional).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

  • Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
  • It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the

refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

LG GT5142PVAS1 - REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT - 1

text_image Refrigerator Shelf Vegetable Drawer
  • Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
  • When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.

GENERAL INFORMATION

VACATION TIME

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan to be away for an extended period remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.

To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them all the way into the base.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may

sometimes get warm, especially just after installation.

Don't be alarmed.

This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT MODIFY OR EXTEND THE POWER CORD LENGTH.

It will cause electric shock or fire.
