LG GW-L227HNYZ - Child entrapment - 5

This appliance may contain (Check the rating/compliance label for the refrigerant type and amount. Applicable to some models only) 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.

Throw away the first ice (about 20 pieces) and the first water (about 7 glasses) passing through the appliance when the refrigerator is initially installed.

The first ice and water may include particles or odour from the feed water pipe or the feed water box. The should also be done if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

Keep children away from the dispenser.

Children may push the dispenser switch incorrectly, or damage the dispenser by breaking associated parts. It may also cause them injury.

Always ensure that food does not block the ice chute.

If foods are placed at the entrance of the ice chute, ice may not be dispensed. The ice chute may become covered with ice powder if crushed ice is most commonly used. Remove the accumulated ice powder.

Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice storage bin for rapid cooling.

This may damage the automatic ice maker.

Never use fine crystal glasses or crockery to collect ice.

Such glasses or containers may be broken.

Put ice into a glass before filling with water or other beverages.

Water may be splashed if ice is added after the drink.

Never touch the ice outlet either with hands or any implement.

Touching the ice outlet may cause a breakage or hand injury.

Never remove the ice maker cover. It might be necessary from time to time to level the ice so the storage bin can fill to capacity.

If ice is allowed to pile up near the ice maker, the ice maker may think that it is already full and it will stop producing ice.

If discolored ice is dispensed, stop using the appliance and contact your service centre immediately.

Ice may be jammed in ice chute causing the refrigerator to fail.

Never use narrow or deep glassware when using the icemaker as ice can back up into the ice chute and cause a malfunction.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.

A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.

Freezer Compartment

Refrigerator Compartment

Storing foods

  • Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavour.
  • Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and melons.
  • Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in a refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
  • When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in 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 chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
  • Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator and causes temperatures to rise.
  • Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks so that the door cannot fully close.
  • 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 nutrients.
  • When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
  • Do not touch cold foods or containers - especially metallic containers - with wet hands or place glass products in the freezer compartment.
  • You may get chill blains, and glass containers may break when frozen, causing personal injury.
  • Avoid placing sauces on top refrigerator shelves, which could freeze on direct contact with chilled air.
  • Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
  • When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

NOTE

- If you keeping the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequently open the door or store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no effect on operation or performance. Remove the dew with an absorbent dry cloth.

How to dismantle parts

NOTE

- Dismantle by reversing the assembly instructions. Be sure to unplug the power plug before dismantling and assembly. Never apply severe force to dismantle parts. Parts may be damaged.

Anti condensation pipe

Understanding sounds you may hear

General information

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odour formation.

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps through the refrigerator to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they describes the kinds of actually are. The following sounds and what may be making them:

- The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

•Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

-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, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

- You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

- As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction cause a popping noise to and expansion of the inside walls may a popping noise.

•Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

- You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

- You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Cleaning

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odours. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Use a luke warm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the wall outlet socket.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning near to electrical equipment (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick to extremely cold surfaces.
