Fresh Zone

It is possible to keep fresh some food for long-term storage for a long time without the odor mixed with other food. This container can be stored in the refrigeration chamber or freezer chamber according to the food in the container.

CAUTION

• Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
• If the refrigerator doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. It can also increase the refrigerator's electricity usage.

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 Margarine	Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese	Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminium 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 Vegetables	Remove 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.

Storing Frozen Food

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 slightly.

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.

NOTE

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

NOTE

Never freeze beverage cans or bottles

20 HOW TO USE

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.

Refitting the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height. Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, Strong alkaline solutions, industrial detergent (bleach containing detergent) Flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not use Hot water to clean the interior or any interior parts of the unit when they are cold.

Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm up so the cloth will not stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of warm water. Be sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.

Door Liners and Gaskets

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

Plastic Parts (covers and panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

Condenser Coil Cover

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents located at the rear of the appliance. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. Always disconnect the main power before cleaning.

SMART DIAGNOSIS

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.)

3 Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call center.
4 Press and hold the Freezer Temperature button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.
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.
