If the appliance seems unsteady, or the doors do not close easily, adjust the appliance’s tilt using the instructions below.Use the spanner to adjust the height by turning the levelling leg to the left to raise it or to the right to lower it. NOTE

• Leveling the doors may not be possible when the floor is not leveled, or is of weak or poor construction.• The refrigerator is heavy and should be installed on a rigid and solid surface.• Some timber flooring may cause levelling difficulties if it flexes excessively. Door Alignment for Freezer and Fridge Door If the door of the appliance is not level, adjust the difference in the height of appliance door. Open the door and use the spanner

loosen the keeper nut by turning it to the left. Use the spanner to adjust the height by turning the adjustment hinge pin to the left or to the right. CAUTION

• Leveling the doors may not be possible when the floor is not leveled, or is of weak or poor construction.• The refrigerator is heavy and should be installed on a rigid and solid surface.• Some timber flooring may cause levelling difficulties if it flexes excessively. Turning on the Power Connecting the Appliance After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into the outlet socket. Do not double up with other appliances on the same outlet. NOTE

• After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 3 or 4 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil.• To turn off the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the socket outlet. Moving the Appliance for Relocation Preparing for Relocation

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. Tape parts such as shelves and the door handle to prevent from falling off while moving the appliance. Move the appliance with more than two people carefully. When transporting the appliance over a long distance, keep the appliance upright. After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a mains outlet socket and switch it on.global_main.book.book Page 15 Thursday, September 9, 2021 3:44 PM16 OPERATION OPERATION Before Use Notes for Operation

• Users should keep in mind that frost can form if the door is not closed completely or if the humidity is high during the summer.• 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. Door Open Alarm The alarm sounds 3 times in 30 second intervals if the door is left open or not completely closed for 1 minute. NOTE

• Contact the LG Electronics customer information centre if the alarm sound continues even after closing all doors. Failure Detection The appliance can automatically detect problems during the operation. NOTE

• If a problem is detected, the appliance may not operate and an error code is displayed even when any button is pressed.• If an error code is indicated on the display, do not turn off the power. Immediately contact the LG Electronics customer information centre and report the error code. If you turn off the power, the repair technician from the our information centre may have difficulty finding the problem. Suggestion for Energy Saving
• For the most efficient use of energy, make sure that door bins, drawers and shelves are assembled properly.• 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 set the temperature of the appliance lower than needed.• 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 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. Storing Foods Effectively
• Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct temperature for the food being stored.• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.• Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.global_main.book.book Page 16 Thursday, September 9, 2021 3:44 PM17 OPERATION ENGLISH
• Do not store food for a long period of time if it spoils easily at a low temperature.• Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with food that is already frozen. It could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be stored on top of the vegetable drawer.• 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 overfill the appliance. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the appliance can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the appliance.• 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.• If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.- You should avoid door openings while the power is off.- When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food. Maximum Freezing Capacity

Express Freeze must be switched on for 7 hours before fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts like baskets and shelves. NOTE

• The max freezing capacity of your appliance is stated on the rating label inside the fridge compartment.• For maximum freezing capacity, set the freezer temperature to the coldest temperature setting. Freezing the Maximum Amount of Food If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer drawers should be taken out of the appliance and the food should be stacked directly on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment. CAUTION

• To remove the drawers, first remove the food from drawers and then pull out the drawers carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or damage to the drawers. NOTE

• The shape of each drawer may be different, insert in the right position. Two Star Compartment
• Two star ( ) basket or drawer can be used to store ice and food from -12 °C to -18 °C for short periods.• Two star frozen food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and making ice cubes.• Two star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.global_main.book.book Page 17 Thursday, September 9, 2021 3:44 PM18 OPERATION Product Features The appearance or components of the appliance may differ from model to model.
