Operating Procedure

DEFROSTING

It is natural for moisture in the air to condense on the cold surface. This leads to a regular build up of frost on the surface of the freezer.

Defrost regularly to avoid heavy frost building on the evaporator which results in reduced cooling efficiency.

Push the defrost Knob after every 3 days / Ice Level reaches defrost indicator.

Ice Making

Fill ice trays with water, place in freeze box.

To remove ice cube, gently twist Ice Tray.

Do not use sharp tool to remove ice tray, otherwise you may puncture the evaporator resulting gas leakage thus non performance of refrigerator.

How to get good results

Cover or wrap all foods that you put into your refrigerator with polythene or aluminium foil, preventing the mixing of flavours and to keep the food from drying.

Don't keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator. This will result in an increased temperature and increase in power consumption.

Don't open the refrigerator door too often-hot air will enter and increase the temperature.

Never overload your refrigerator or cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets as it will reduce its efficiency.

Close the door properly, make sure that there is no gap between the gasket and the cabinet of your LG refrigerator.

Type of Complaint Probable Cause		Remedy
1. Refrigerator does not work.	- Thermostat switch in 'OFF' position.- Power Supply Off.	Check that the thermostat knob is on 'Normal' (No.4) position and not in off position.Check that the refrigerator main supply plug is connected to the wall socket and that the supply is on. Check that the fuse is intact in the supply line.
	- Stabilizer not working properly	Please plug power cord of refrigerator directly in the wall socket and then check, if it works then get the stabilizer checked by Stabilizer Repairing Centre.
2. Refrigerator attempts to start, but does not operate.	- Low Voltage.	Install a line-correcting transformer in the mains, or a Voltage Stabilizer.
3. Refrigerator contents not cooling and Difficulty in formation of ice and ice-cream.	- Defrosting over due - Restriction of cold air circulation. - Improper thermostat control selection. - Storing hot foods.	Defrost the refrigerator.Provide space in between the dishes. If the shelves are covered with cloth or polythene, remove it.If the refrigerator is required to give a low temperature turn the thermostat knob towards colder (No.7) position.Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
4. Formation of water drops on exterior of refrigerator.	- High humidity during monsoon season.	During the monsoon, when the humidity in the atmosphere reaches around 90% water droplets may form around the sides of the refrigerator cabinet, especially the top portion. This moisture should be wiped off periodically. Contact our serviceman to check the door seal or proper and uniform contact with the cabinet.
5. Formation of droplets on the underside of the Chiller tray.	- Hot and humid climate.	In hot and humid weather the moist air rushes inside whenever the refrigerator door is opened. This results in excess frosting on the Evaporator and condensation on the Chiller tray bottom. Avoid too frequent door openings.
6. Smell and odour.	- Improper covering and wrapping of food.	Wrap and cover food stuffs properly. Place caps on bottles and other liquid stores. If the smell persists, defrost the refrigerator, remove all foodstuffs, clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe it dry before restarting.
7. Noise	- Normal cut-of/ cut-in noise	Whenever refrigerator starts & stop there is noise of Thermostat cut-off/ cut-in & Compressor start/stop. This is a normal phenomenon.
8. Noise from Freezer	- Hissing noise from Freezer	This is normal gas expansion noise
