text_image Safety warning illustration showing a snake being stopped by a 'no' symbol next to a box with a hand holding a device.

If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload. The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.

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.

Risk of child entrapment.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 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.

LG GC-B439PVCW - Important Safety Instruction - 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.

  5. If slowly removing a cup from the Pad, water will not fall down.

- MAX: Leakage may happen if the water lever is higher than the lever MAX. The water lever should be kept under the MAX.

- MIN: There is less pouring water if the water lever is lower than the lever MIN. The water amount should be added before using.

Do not use other beverage (milk, juice, carbonated beverage etc) than spring water. Especially beverage including grain must not be used (may result in failure).

Energy-Saving Method

• Install the fridge in a shady,cool and well-ventilated place.

- Do not open and close the door frequently if not necessary.

- Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.

- Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.

- 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.

- Food need't store is not advised to be put in.

- Place the deep-frozen food for thawing intorefrigerator; they can be used for cooling the refrigerator. (Applicabe to some models only)

- Clean up the back cover and anti-condensation pipe termly (once a year) to make sure heat exchange in gear. (Applicabe to some models only)

- Do not block air vents with food. (Applicabe to some models only)

Storing Food

Storing Food

- Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.

- 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.

- When storing the food, use 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 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.

- To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.

- Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.

- 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.

- Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator.

Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
