23
FOODSTUFF STORAGE
Storing Food
Note
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 or cans in the freezer compartment
- they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
• If it is necessary to quickly freeze fresh food items, place
them to the lower drawer of the freezing compartment
and push the "EXPRESS FREEZE" button;
• Frozen food items should be stored packed (in polyethylene
film, aluminum foil, etc.) in the freezing compartment;
• Volume of the upper drawer in the freezing compartment is
the "two stars" section. Temperature inside this section
does not rise above -12°C. This should be taken into
account for storage of ice cream or meats.
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 or frost may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.
Remove the dew and frost a dust free cloth.

Care and Maintenance
General Information
Power Failure
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
FEATURES
• 1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the stored foods.
Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
DURING MOVE • Remove all food items and other objects from the refrigerator.
Firmly secure the internal detachable parts (shelves, drawers,
door baskets);
• To avoid damage of the floor and adjustable front feet of the refrigerator,
turn them counter-clockwise before transportation;
• The refrigerator should be firmly secured to prevent it from
dislodging or moving during transportation.
• The refrigerator should be transported in a vertical position in a suitable
vehicle.
The original package should not be damaged during the initial transportation;
• During loading and unloading, the refrigerator should be protected
against impacts.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON • If the refrigerator is transported during a cold season, unpack the
refrigerator in a warm room and do not switch on it for at least 12 hours.
CAUTION!
Do not move or incline the refrigerator during its operation.
Noise may occur in the compressor.
This feature does not affect operability of compressor. if the noise does not stop within 10 seconds, then turn off the refrigerator, wait for 1 minute then turn back on again.
Cracking noise may be heard due to thermal changes of the refrigerator components.
Typical sounds from activation of the thermostatic controller and compressor are normal sounds occurring during operation of electric equipment in the appliance.
The refrigerant circulating inside the refrigeration system may calmly gurgle,even if the compressor is not in operation.
Do not worry, this is absolutely normal.
The following sounds may be heard during operation of the refrigerator:
- Clicks from actuation of the temperature sensor/switch;
- Murmur of the refrigerant circulating in tubes of the refrigeration system;
- Slight cracking noise from thermal changes of internal parts.
These sounds are not associated with any defect and they have a functional aspect.
Anti Condensation
Pipe
• 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 dew, or sweating.
Anti-Condensation
Pipe
• Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.

SMART DIAGNOSIS(Option)
SMART DIAGNOSIS
Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.
If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call the phone No. of LG
Customer Information Center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax machine.
Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless your refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done without using
Smart Diagnosis.
Using Smart Diagnosis
First, call the phone No. of LG Customer
Information Center. Only use the Smart
Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent.
1 Lock the display. (Option)
To lock the display, press and hold the
Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.)
Unlock Lock
2 Open the refrigerator door.

3 Hold the mouthpiece of your phone in front of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call center.
4 Press and hold the Freezer Temperature button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.
30
5 After you hear three beeps, release the
Freezer Temperature button.
6 Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about
15 seconds, and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.
NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
NOTE
Call quality differences by region may affect the function.
Use the home telephone for better communication performance, resulting in better service.
Bad call quality may result in poor data transmission from your phone to the call center, which could cause Smart
Diagnosis to not work properly.
