The moisture left on vegetables after washing can make them spoil faster. Wait to wash vegetables until just before use.

Leafy greens like kale or lettuce have a limited storage life. Wrap them in newspaper or in sealed containers to help them stay fresh longer.

Do not store tropical fruits in the refrigerator.

Bananas or uncut pineapples are damaged by cold temperatures. Kimchi Storage Tips Do not overfill the kimchi containers.

Allow space for the kimchi to expand as it ferments or the contents may overow the container. Close the container lids completely to prevent the kimchi from fermenting too quickly or developing yeast mold. Fill the container with kimchi up to the ll line and make sure the lid is tightly closed before storing. Cover the surface of the kimchi with plastic wrap to extend the storage time. Do not place kimchi directly into the refrigerator compartment or store it in a plastic bag.

Use the kimchi container provided to store kimchi. Kimchi placed directly into the refrigerator compartment may freeze and taste off. Do not block the air outlet inside the refrigerator with food. Doing so could cause the food to freeze, affect product performance, or result in electric shock or injury. For best results, check on kimchi within 3 to 4 days of storing it.

If the kimchi has overowed from the container, it may ferment too quickly and not store well. Do not place foods that require different storage conditions in the same compartment.

If the left or right compartment is set to freezer mode, kimchi, vegetables or fruit may freeze if stored there. Select the appropriate settings for the food being stored. Be sure to use enough salt when preparing kimchi for longer storage.

The rate of fermentation is mostly determined by the amount of salt in the kimchi. Small batches of mild kimchi can be successfully stored for short periods, but add more salt if storing large amounts for use over an extended period. Use care when placing kimchi containers in the refrigerator.

Lift the container by the handles and avoid impacts to the bottom of the container. (The appearance of kimchi containers may vary by model.) A Guide to Kimchi The first step in fermenting kimchi is salt pickling.

The salt reacts with enzymes in the cabbage to break down proteins and begin fermentation immediately. This process continues even at cold temperatures. Traditionally, kimchi was allowed to ferment slowly during the cold winter weather. The taste of kimchi also depends on the seasonings used.

Typical seasonings include green onion, garlic, ginger, salted sh, and chili powder. The combination of spices chosen determines the overall taste of the kimchi. Fermentation Rates for Kimchi

Adding a lot of garlic, seafood, onions, chili powder, cucumber or green onions makes kimchi ferment more quickly. Adding salted oysters, salted shrimp or persimmon sauce really speeds up fermentation. On the other hand, adding leeks, mustard or ginseng slows down fermentation. Kimchi begins fermenting as soon as it is prepared.

Contact with air will make kimchi sour. If the kimchi is not covered in sauce or has too little salt, a thin skin of yeast will form on its surface. Keep air away from the vegetables by covering them in sauce or placing the kimchi in a plastic bag or covering it with plastic wrap. How Temperature Affects Kimchi

Temperature affects the fermentation rate of kimchi. When preparing kimchi for long-term storage, keep the temperature below 50°F (10°C). Long-Term Storage of Kimchi

Like cheese, kimchi is a living organism and will change over time. To keep kimchi fresh for long periods, increase the salt content and store at a low temperature, near 32°F (0°C). Press vegetables down so they are covered with sauce and cover the container with plastic wrap or a layer of cabbage leaves to keep air out and keep kimchi fresh longer. Choosing the Right Cabbage for Kimchi

There are many different kinds of cabbage available. For kimchi, choose a medium sized cabbage which is rounded rather than long and thin. The inner leaves should be sweet and paler than the outer leaves. Outer leaves should be thin and light green. Selecting Radishes for Kimchi

There are many types of radish kimchi, and different radishes are used for different types of kimchi.

For radish kimchi, use Korean radishes that have pale green tops and well-spread leaves.

For chonggak (young radish) kimchi, use Seoul radishes that have round, thick bottoms.

For kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), try to nd radishes with white rather than green tops.

For dongchimi, use radishes with soft leaves and white rather than green tops.23OPERATION ENGLISH Proper Food Storage Techniques Store kimchi in the kimchi container.

Fill the container with kimchi only up to the ll line and make sure the lid is tightly closed before storing.

If the lid is not closed properly, a thin lm of yeast can form on the surface of the kimchi or the kimchi may ferment too quickly. Cover the surface of the kimchi with plastic wrap or a layer of cabbage leaves before storing it to prevent yeast from forming. Store vegetables or fruit in the designated container.

Some vegetables and fruits are damaged by cold air.

Vegetables which are damp from being washed tend to spoil more quickly. For best results, don’t wash vegetables before storing them.

Do not refrigerate tropical fruits like bananas or pineapples, which are damaged by cold temperatures. Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it.

Placing hot food directly into the refrigerator can raise the temperature of surrounding food items, leading to spoilage and higher utility bills. Long-Term Storage of Kimchi

Place newly prepared kimchi into the refrigerator and select the Storage setting.

Depending on the type and saltiness of the kimchi, select the Low, Medium, or High setting.

For best long-term storage, make sure the vegetables are completely submerged in the sauce and cover the kimchi with plastic wrap. Storing Purchased Kimchi

If kimchi will be consumed within a short time, select the Fast Chill setting. If kimchi will be stored for a long time, select the Storage setting. Before storing vegetable oils in the refrigerator, read the storage instructions on the container.

Vegetable oil bottles can become messy with use.

Place oil bottles in disposable or left over plastic containers to avoid having to clean refrigerator shelves. Select the appropriate temperature for the food being stored.

Storing kimchi at the Fermentation setting may cause it to spoil.

Some types of kimchi may freeze if stored at the High setting. Check on kimchi often when using the High setting.

Storing other food along with kimchi in a storage container may result in the other food freezing. Using the Different Containers

For best results when using the Refrigeration setting, store containers which are similar in size, smaller containers, or bottles.

Storing kimchi in the provided kimchi container in the designated position makes the most delicious kimchi.

Do not store kimchi in glass bottles. The kimchi will expand when frozen and the bottle may break, causing a risk of injury.

Do not place containers near the air outlet in the refrigerator. The food may freeze. Fermenting Kimchi

Avoid opening the compartment door while kimchi is fermenting.

Allowing the warmer outside air in during fermentation can affect the taste of the kimchi. Getting Rid of Food Odors

Cover open food containers with plastic wrap before storing to prevent transfer of odors inside the refrigerator. After installation, allow the refrigerator to cool completely before storing food.

Food may spoil and cause odors to linger if it is stored before the refrigerator has been allowed to reach the set temperature. NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.

If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.

Food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated. CAUTION

Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.24 OPERATION

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 door is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.25SMART FUNCTIONS ENGLISH SMART FUNCTIONS LG SmartThinQ Application The LG SmartThinQ application allows you to communicate with the appliance using a smartphone.

Do not spray glass cleaner directly at the display panel. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. For products with a standard stainless steel exterior, use a damp microfiber cloth and rub in the direction of the grain. Dry with a paper towel to avoid streaks. For stubborn stains and fingerprints, use a few drops of liquid dish soap in water, and rinse with hot water before drying. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Inside Walls

Allow compartments to warm up so the cloth will not stick.To help remove odors, wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter 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 glass cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material. Condenser Coils Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or crevice attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.28 MAINTENANCE Maintaining Kimchi Containers Containers and bins can easily become dirty from spilled food. Remove them occasionally and rinse them out to avoid odors. Cleaning Kimchi Container Lids Before cleaning the container lids, remove the rubber packing from inside the lid. Remember to replace the rubber packing once the lids are clean. Do not clean the containers and lids in water hotter than 122°F (50°C). Gently clean the containers with a soft sponge to avoid scratching the surface.29TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs Q: Why is my kimchi freezing? A: Kimchi’s storage temperature is around 32°F (0C°). The exact freezing point of kimchi varies depending on the type of kimchi, seasoning, and the amount of salt. If kimchi is freezing, change the storage temperature.

• If the storage temperature is (H), change it to (M) or (L).

• If the storage temperature is (M), change it to (L).

• L=Low Cooling (cold) M=Medium Cooling (colder) H=High Cooling (coldest) Q: Why is my kimchi fermenting too quickly? A: Storing kimchi at the Fast Chill setting will speed up the fermentation process. To avoid this, cancel the Fast Chill setting and select Storage. If the storage temperature is too high, kimchi will turn sour quickly. To avoid this, change the storage temperature. The storage temperature settings change in the order of (L) → (M) → (H). Kimchi may ferment at different speeds depending on the type of kimchi, seasoning, and temperature at which it is made. Cover kimchi containers with plastic wrap or tightly-fitting lids before storing them to keep kimchi fresh longer. Q: Why is my kimchi wilted or mushy? A: Adding too little salt will result in kimchi that looks okay at first but wilts and turns mushy as it ferments. Adding salty seafood can also cause kimchi to ferment more quickly and become mushy. Q: Why is my kimchi turning dark? A: If you store kimchi for a long time, contact with the air will cause it to oxidize and become dark. Cover the inside of the kimchi container with plastic wrap to prevent kimchi from becoming dark. Q: There is white mold on the surface of the Kimchi and the cabbage has dried out. What did I do wrong? A: If the lid of the kimchi container is not completely closed, the kimchi will come into contact with air, resulting in white yeast forming on the surface of the kimchi or cabbage drying out. Cover containers with plastic wrap before storing to prevent yeast from forming on kimchi. Q: Is it normal for ice to form on the lid of the kimchi container? A: When kimchi is stored at the best temperature for long-term storage, it is normal for some frost to form on the lid of the container.30 TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Cooling Problem Possible Cause Solutions Refrigerator compartments are not cooling. The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models). Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and 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. The door is 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 correctly or pop open" section. Refrigerator is installed in a hot location. The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70 °F) 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 °F. 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.31TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Cooling Problem Possible Cause Solutions 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 are not closed correctly. See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" 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 rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 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 Control Panel section for more information. Refrigerator is installed in a cold location. When the refrigerator is operated in temperature 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). 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. The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment.32 TROUBLESHOOTING Cooling Problem Possible Cause Solutions Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. 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. A large amount of food or hot food was added to the 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. Defrost cycle has recently completed. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed. Refrigerator 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 Control Panel for more information. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package. This is normal for food items with a high water content. Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of time. Do not store food items with high water content in the freezer for a long period of time. 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.33TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Parts & Features Problem Possible Cause Solutions Doors will not close correctly or pop open. Food packages are blocking the door open. Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Refrigerator is not leveled properly. See Door Alignment in the installation instructions to level refrigerator. Door is difficult to open. The gaskets are dirty or sticky. Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning. Door was recently closed. When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily. Refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable Leveling legs are not adjusted properly. Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section. Floor is not level. It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling legs or rollers to complete installation. Lights do not work. LED interior lighting failure. The refrigerator compartment lamp is LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician. The interior of the refrigerator is covered with dust or soot. The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney, or candle. Make sure that the refrigerator is not located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney or candle.34 TROUBLESHOOTING Noises Problem Possible Cause Solutions Clicking The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control on some models) will also click when cycling on and off. Normal Operation Rattling Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line on the back of the unit, or items stored on top of or around the refrigerator. Normal Operation Refrigerator is not resting solidly on the floor. Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need to be adjusted. See the Leveling and Door Alignment section. Refrigerator with linear compressor was jarred while running. Normal Operation Whooshing Evaporator fan motor is circulating air through the refrigerator compartment. Normal Operation Air is being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. Normal Operation Gurgling Refrigerant flowing through the cooling system. Normal Operation Popping Contraction and expansion of the inside walls due to changes in temperature. Normal Operation Sizzling Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle. Normal Operation Vibrating If the side or back of the refrigerator is touching a cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations may make an audible sound. To eliminate the noise, make sure that the sides and back cannot vibrate against any wall or cabinet. Dripping Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Normal Operation Pulsating or high- pitched sound Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but it is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
