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.
High Temperature Alarm
The high temperature alarm is a function that
warns when the temperature of the freezer
increases enough to be a problem. The freezer
temperature display LED flashes and the alarm
sounds.
• This alarm sounds in the following cases:
- When the appliance is turned on for the first
time (therefore the freezer temperature is
high).
- When the freezer door is open for a long time
or opens very frequently.
- When the power goes out for a long period of
time.
- When larger amounts of hot food are placed
into the freezer.
Turning off the Alarm
Press the Freezer button until the alarm stops
ringing.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• For the most efficient use of energy, make sure
that 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.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has
a permissible range in the appliance
