Operation
Refrigerator Temperature Control
Specially desianed knob aives vour facility to control temperature inside Refrigerator.
Defrosting
It is natural for moisture in the air to condense on the cold surface. This leads to a regular build up of frost on the surface of the freezer and the cooling in the fresh food compartment. This frost accumulation reduces the cooling effect, thereby reducing efficiency. Therefore, periodic defrosting is necessary to ensure optimum performance. The water in the drain tray evaporates by natural evaporation if defrosting is done once in two days. However, due to varied conditions of usage it is desirable to check the drain-tray occasionally and dispose of the water, if any, Please ensure that the chiller tray is in its correct position by pushing it to its correct position by pushing it to its extreme. Otherwise the defrosting water may fall over the contents of the refrigerator.
Manual Defrosting: However in some models, in case of defrosting or power failure the water directly accumulates in chiller tray, dispose off water directly from chiller tray by taking it out. If Water Overflow from Tray Drip, Disassemble it and remove the water from it.
ICE MAKING
- Fill ice trays with water, place in Freeze Box.
To remove ice cube, gently twise Ice Tray.
SUGGESTIONS
- Don't open the refrigerator door too often-hot air will enter and increase the temperature.
- Don't keep the door open for more than 30 seconds at a time-cold air will rush out of the fridge.
- Don't cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets. This prevents air circulation inside the cabinet.
- Don't use a knife or sharp instrument to remove the ice trays from the freezer or to remove the frost mechanically as it may damage the freezer coil.
- Fridge will automatically switched off when the proper temperature is attained. Don't switch off the fridge at night, this will create higher temperature inside the cabinet thus deteriorating stored foods.
- Feel free to call your LG Dealer or LG Representative in case your refrigerator has suffered and damage in transit. The Dealer or the Company Representative will assess the extent of damage and give you an estimate for repairs.
- Don't switch on the refrigerator, unless a minimum period of four minutes lapses after it was switched off, either due to power failure or otherwise.
- Don't allow food stuffs smeared with salt to come in direct contact with the freezer. It is a good practice to always keep the food in a container before placing in the freezer.
- It is recommended to use Voltage Stabilizer (0.5KVA) if power fluctuations are frequent and out of specified voltage range (135-290V)**. Stabilizer usage increases the refrigerator life.
- While removing/disassembling shelf/Trav use handle /slot for easy removing.
- Run the refrigerator for 12 hrs without load in factory setting.
- Do not open the Evercool assembly without the help of service engineer.
Important Points for Better Performance of Evercool Function
- Do not open the door frequently during power cut off to get the best effect of Evercool function
- Evercool performance will be detorated if the PCM is not freezed properly.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
- Don't keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator. This will result in an increased temperature of other food in the fridge and may lead to deterioration.
- Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
- When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
- Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
- When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
- Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, andpacked food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
- When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position. which keeps them fresh longer.** As per LGIEL test standards.
