LG GRD-254PL - WARNING - 1

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m^2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

  • If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the refrigerator.
  • The Cheese & Butter and Condiment bins are not recommended for storing items that spoil easily such as milk and mayonnaise.

Food Storage Tips

* The following tips may not be applicable depending on the model.

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check use by dates to ensure freshness.

Food How to
Butter or MargarineKeep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
CheeseStore in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or prepare fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy VegetablesRemove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
LeftoversCover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

LG GRD-254PL - Storing Frozen Food - 1

NOTE

Check a freezer food guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

LG GRD-254PL - Freezing - 1

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

LG GRD-254PL - NOTE - 1

NOTE

Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any kind as they can explode or shatter.

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

  • Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
    • Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
    • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Plastic-coated paper
    • Non-permeable plastic wraps
  • Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

  • Bread wrappers
    • Non-polyethylene plastic containers
  • Containers without tight lids
  • Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
  • Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Adjusting the Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have either glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight up. Pull the shelf out.

SMART DIAGNOSIS

LG GRD-254PL - SMART DIAGNOSIS - 1

Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.

If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax machine.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless your refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done without using Smart Diagnosis.

Using Smart Diagnosis

First, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.

1 Lock the display. To lock the display, press and hold the Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.)

LG GRD-254PL - Using Smart Diagnosis - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a computer with a keyboard and mouse, placed on a surface (no text or symbols)

4 Press and hold the Freezer Temperature button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.

LG GRD-254PL - Using Smart Diagnosis - 3

text_image -88°C + + Frequent

5 After you hear three beeps, release the Freezer Temperature button.

6 Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about 3 seconds, and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.

NOTE

  • For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
  • If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.

NOTE

  • Call quality differences by region may affect the function.
  • Use the home telephone for better communication performance, resulting in better service.
  • Bad call quality either from a mobile or home phone may result in poor data transmission from your phone to the diagnostics call centre, which could cause Smart Diagnosis to not work properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling.The refrigerator display control is set to OFF (some models).Cancel the OFF mode so that the unit commences operation. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings, or call Customer Service if OFF remains on the Display panel.
Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly. Wait 40 minutes to confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
Refrigerator was recently relocated.If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Cooling System runs too much.Refrigerator is replacing an older model.Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
Doors are not closed completely.Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures 70^(21^) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110^(43^) .
Condenser / back cover is clogged.Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. Disconnect the mains before cleaning.
Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm.Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
Air vents are blocked. Rearrangeitems to allow air to flow throughout the compartment. Refer to the Airflow diagram in the Using Your Refrigerator section.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
Unit is installed in a hot location.The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110°F(43°C).
A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment.Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect.
Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
Temperature control is not set correctly.If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
Defrost cycle has recently completed.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 40 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
Interior moisture buildup.Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly section in the Troubleshooting section.
Weather is humid. Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
Defrost cycle recently completed.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may be raised slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 40 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
Food is not packaged correctly.Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.When the refrigerator is operated in temperatures below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).
Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package).Door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section.
Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold.Incorrect temperature control settings.If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.
