Installation
•This appliance should only be transported by two or more people
holding the appliance securely.
•Ensure that the socket outlet is properly grounded, and that the
earth pin on the power cord is not damaged or removed from the
power plug. For more details on grounding, inquire at an LG
Electronics customer information centre.
•This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The
power plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
•If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is
loose, do not use the power cord and contact an authorized
service centre.
•Do not plug the appliance into a multi socket adapter which does
not have a power cable (mounted).
•Do not modify or extend the power cable.
•The appliance should be connected to a dedicated power line
which is separately fused.
•Do not connect a plug adapter or other accessories tothe power plug.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can
ignite and cause a fire if you do not take care.
•This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), 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.
•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 is used should correspond to the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for
every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
•When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
•Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power
supplies at the rear of the appliance.

05
EN
•Do not use a multi socket outlet which is not properly grounded
(portable). In case of using a properly-grounded multi socket outlet
(portable), use the multi socket outlet with the current capacity of
the power code rating or higher and use the multi socket outlet
only for the appliance.

Notes for Operation
Suggestion for Energy Saving
Storing Foods Effectively
Max Freezing Capacity
•Users should keep in mind that frost can
form. If the door is not closed completely, if
the humidity is high during the summer, or if
the freezer door is opened frequently.
•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.
•The LED lamp is only intended for use in
domestic appliances and is not suitable
for household room illumination.
•Do not open or close the appliance door
excessively.
•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.
•The Express Freeze function will allow the
freezer to its maximum freezing capacity. This
generally takes up to 24 hours, however, it will
automatically turn off after a given time and
can also be turned off manually at any given
time.
•To get better air circulation, insert all inner
parts like baskets, drawers, and shelves.
Maximum Storage
•To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.
•If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the
freezer drawers shall be taken out of the appliance
and the food shall be stacked directly on the freezer
shelves in the freezer compartment.
NOTE
•To remove the drawers, first pick the food out of
drawers. Then use the handle of drawers, pull out the
drawers carefully. It may cause injury.
•The shape of each drawer may be different, insert in
the right position.
•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 put food near the temperature sensor
of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of
at least 3 cm from the sensor.
•Note that a temperature rise after defrosting
has a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the
impact this may have on the food storage due
to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored
food in several layers.
•The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions.
•Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
•Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
•Do not store food for a long period of time
(more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a
low temperature.
•Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
•Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which
has been completely thawed again will lower
its taste and nutrition.
•Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
•Do not wrap and store vegetables with
newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or
other foreign substances may smear and
contaminate food.
•Do not overfill the appliance. Fill less than
70 % of the space. Cold air can not circulate
properly if the appliance is overfilled.
•If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored
correctly.
•For more space, you can remove bottle rack,
egg tray, ice tray and fresh converter drawer.
•Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot
food is placed inside, the internal temperature
of the appliance can increase and negatively
affect other foods stored in the appliance.
•Always keep the appliance clean.
•If there are chill compartments in the appliance,
do not store vegetables and fruits with higher
moisture content in the chill compartments as
they may freeze due to the lower temperature.
•In the event of a blackout, call the electricity
company and ask how long it is going to last.
−You should avoid opening the doors, while the
power is off.
−When the power supply gets back to normal,
check the condition of the food.
