DANGER

Don't store

Grounding (Earthing)

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.

WARNING

Important Safety Instruction

⚠️ Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.

LG GB5135AVAW - 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.

Features

Water Dispenser

LG GB5135AVAW - Water Dispenser - 1

Install

- Please assemble the VALVE ASSEMBLY after correctly adjusting it with a DOOR HOLE.

Filling of WATER TANK

  1. After turning the HANDLE Tank backward with the WATER TANK installed at the DOOR, Open the CAP TANK (SMALL) and then fill water using a kettle etc. * Fill water while watching a sight glass on the front of the WATER TANK. * Water up to 3.5 ℓ can be filled.
  2. Press and fix the CAP TANK(SMALL).
  3. After filling spring water, fix the HANDLE TANK at a proper position.

Drinking

  1. Press the Dispenser Pad with a cup.
  2. If pressing the Pad, water inside of the Dispenser is supplied.
  3. If slowly removing a cup from the Pad, water will not fall down.

Water level

  • 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.

CAUTION

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).

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.

Note

If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.

Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

Power Failure

If You Move

Anti Condensation Pipe

General Information

  • 1\~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
    • Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape.
  • Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.

- The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.

- Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
