Operating Procedure

DEFROSTING : It is natural for moisture in there air to condense on the cold surface. This leads to a regular build up of frost on the surface of the freezer. Defrost regularly to avoid heavy frost building on the evaporator which results in reduced cooling efficiency.

  • Push the defrost Knob after every 3 days / Ice Level reaches defrost indicator

    lg_refrigerator_gl-175-bottle_storage-operating_procedure.png
  • Ice Making
    Fill ice trays with water, place in freeze Box. To remove ice cube, gently twist Ice Tray.
lg_refrigerator_gl-175-ice_making.png

Do not use sharp tool to remove ice tray, otherwise you may puncture the evaporator resulting gas leakage thus non performance of refrigerator. If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the
interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the appliance.

Lamp Replacement

How to get good results

  • Cover or wrap all foods that you put into your refrigerator with polythene or aluminium foil, preventing the mixing of flavours and to keep the food from drying.
  • Don't keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator.
  • This will result in an increased temperature and increase in power consumption
  • Do not leave refrigerator open for long time. Don't open the refrigerator door too often, hot air will enter and increase the temperature.
  • Never overload your refrigerator or cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets as it will reduce its efficiency
  • Close the door properly, make sure that there is no gap between the gasket and the cabinet of your LG refrigerator.
  • Wipe excessive moisture on food or place it inside containers or plastic bags. This will help in retaining its freshness for a longer period of time.
  • Feel free to call your LG Customer Information Centre (CIC) / Branch / LG
  • Representative in case your refrigerator has suffered a damage in transit.
  • 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.

Install a line-correcting transformer in the mains, or a Voltage Stabilizer.
3. Refrigerator contents not cooling. And Difficulty in formation of ice and ice-cream.- Defrosting over due - Restriction of cold air circulation. - Improper thermostat control selection. - Storing hot foods.Defrost the refrigerator. Provide space in between the dishes. If the shelves are covered with cloth or polythene, remove it. If the refrigerator is required to give a low temperature turn the thermostat knob towards colder (No.7) position. Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
4. Formation of water drops on exterior of refrigerator.- High humidity during monsoon season.During the monsoon, when the humidity in the atmosphere reaches around 90%, water droplets may form around the sides of the refrigerator cabinet, especially the top portion. This moisture should be wiped off periodically. Contact our serviceman to check the door seal or proper and uniform contact with the cabinet.
5. Formation of droplets on the underside of the Chiller tray.- Hot and humid climate.In hot and humid weather the moist air rushes inside whenever the refrigerator door is opened. This results in excess frosting on the Evaporator and condensation on the Chiller tray bottom. Avoid too frequent door openings.
