HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Meat/Fish

 

You can store meat and fish and keep them 
fresh.

If you store Kimchi after setting Meat/
Fish, the Kimchi will get frozen.

 NOTE

 

Implement a temperature at which 
Leuconostoc grows well and then cool 
rapidly so that Kimchi can be stored 
preserving good taste for a long time.

 

The gauge displays the degree of ripeness. 
Once the gauge gets filled up, help yourself 
to Kimchi. (About 6 days are required.)

 

Apply to freshly prepared Kimchi only.

 

Apply once only. If you apply twice or 
more times, Kimchi may get sour in 
taste.

 

Notice) Apply to cabbage Kimchi. 
Lightly-salted Kimchi can get frozen.

 NOTE

Long Term

 

Minimizes changes in taste in order to store 
Kimchi for a long time.

Fresh Air Filter

 

This is the function to quickly circulate the 
air inside the refrigerator for deodorization 
inside the refrigerator.

Wi-Fi

 

The Wi-Fi button, when used with the LG 
Smart ThinQ application, allows the 
refrigerator to connect to a home Wi-Fi 
network.

 

The Wi-Fi icon shows the status of the 
refrigerator’s network connection. The icon 
illuminates when the refrigerator is 
connected to the Wi-Fi network.

 

Press and hold the Wi-Fi button for 3 
seconds to connect to the network. The icon 
blinks while the connection is being made, 
then turns on once the connection is 
successfully made.
