Notes for Using the Control Panel

 

The control panel will turn on in any of the 

following cases.

 

When the power is turned on

 

When a button is pressed

 

When the appliance door (fridge 

compartment, freezer compartment, door in 

door) is opened

 

The control panel will turn off automatically for 

energy saving in any of the following cases.

 

When one minute has passed after turning 

on the power

 

When no button operation is carried out for 

20 seconds after a desired button is pressed

 

When 20 seconds has passed after the 

appliance door (fridge compartment, freezer 

compartment, door in door) is opened and 

closed

 

If there is any finger or skin contact to the 

control panel while cleaning it, the button 

function may operate.

Setting the Temperature

This sets the fridge temperature or freezer 

temperature.

 

Press the 

Fridge

 button or 

Freezer

 button to 

adjust the temperature.

 

The initial temperature is set.

 

Fridge : 4 °C

 

Freezer : -19 °C

 

The temperature can be adjusted.

 

Fridge : from 1 °C to 7 °C

 

Freezer : from -14 °C to -24 °C

 

The actual inner temperature varies 

depending on the food status, as the indicated 

setting temperature is a target temperature, 

not actual temperature within the appliance.

NOTE

 

The default temperature setting may vary 

depending on the appliance.

 

Wait until two or three hours have passed 

after connecting the appliance to the outlet 

before storing food in the appliance.

 

The appliance can automatically detect 

problems during the operation.

 

If a problem is detected, the appliance may 

not operate and an error code is displayed 

even when any button is pressed.

 

When this occurs, do not turn off the power 

and immediately contact the LG Electronics 

customer information centre. If you turn off the 

power, the repair technician from the LG 

Electronics customer information centre may 

have difficulty finding the problem.

Setting Express Freeze

The function can quickly freeze a large amount 

of ice or frozen foods.

 

When you press the 

Express Freeze

 button, 

the 

Express Freeze

 icon lights on the control 

panel.

 

The function is enabled and disabled in turn 

each time you press the button.

 

The Express Freeze function automatically 

terminates after a specific period has passed.

Setting Hygiene Fresh

Bacteria and odor inside the appliance can be 

minimized with the Hygiene Fresh function. 

However, the function is only effective for 

bacteria floating in the appliance, not bacteria 

adsorbed onto food.

 

Each time you press the 

Hygiene Fresh

 

button, the Hygiene Fresh function mode will 

change to 

Auto → Power → Off → Auto

 

alternatively.
