Connecting the Appliance

Your appliance is designed with reversible doors, do that they may open from either the left of right hand side to suit your kitchen design.

After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.

••Reversing the doors must be performed by the qualified personnel of LG Electronics. If not, the doors will not be covered by the warranty.

••After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Leveling the Appliance

Moving the Appliance

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.

If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to lower it.

Remove all food from inside the appliance.

Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the power plug hook at the rear or on top of the appliance.

••( * ) : This feature varies depending on the model purchased.

EN Notes for Operation

Suggestion for Energy Saving

• Users should keep in mind that frost can form. If the door is not closed completely, if the humidity is high during the summer, or if the freezer door is opened frequently.

• Ensure there is sufficient space between food stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the door to close completely. • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance. • If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.

• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to prevent dew or frost. • When storing food in the freezer compartment, set the freezer temperature lower than the temperature indicated on the food. • Do not put food near the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor. • Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact this may have on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers. • The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

EN Storing Foods Effectively

Max Freezing Capacity

• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.

• Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance. • Do not store food for a long period of time (more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low temperature. • Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing. • Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing. • Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition. • Do not wrap and store vegetables with newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or other foreign substances may smear and contaminate food. • Do not overfill the appliance.Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled. • If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a temperature lower than the required temperature for the food to be stored correctly. • For more space, you can remove bottle rack, egg tray, ice tray and fresh converter drawer.

• The Express Freeze function will set the freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.This generally takes up to 24 hours and automatically switches off.

• If the maximum freezing capacity is to be used, Express Freeze must be switched on for seven hours before fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

• To get better air circulation, insert all drawers. • If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer drawers shall be taken out of the appliance and the food shall be stacked directly on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.

• To remove the drawers, first pick the food out of drawers. Then use the handle of drawers, pull out the drawers carefully. It may cause injury. • The shape of each drawer may be different, insert in the right position.
