- Plug in the power supply.
- Do not move refrigerator with base stand it might damage the stand
When Refrigerator is used without base ensure both the legs of refrigerator are in place and properly leveled.

CAUTION: Ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged from the power source, before installation.

Installation Guidelines

Maintain required distance between walls.
Leveling of legs for proper alignment.
At a first time do not start /run refrigerator for minimum 3 hrs.
Use three pin 6 Amp socket with proper earthing.
Run the refrigerator for 6 hrs. Without loading food stuff / water etc...

Usage Guidelines

For cooling control rotate knob.
Store food stuff such as Milks, Fish etc. in Fresh Zone.
Store food stuff at a proper distance from each other & in closed container in refrigerator compartment shelf area.
Store vegetables & Fruits in Tray Vegetable. Cover or wrap al foods that you put into your refrigerator with polythene or aluminium foil.

Defrosting

Frost building on evaporator is natural. Defrost regularly to avoid heavy frost building on evaporator, which will reduce cooling efficiency.

Make defrosting of refrigerator every 3 days regularly for better cooling at lesser power consumption.
Defrosting can be done by pressing defrost knob.

Useful Tips for Energy Saving

Do not place refrigerator in direct sunlight.
Place the refrigerator in ventilated area.
Do not open the door frequently.
Do not keep Hot food directly inside refrigerator.
Set cooling control as per requirement / load inside refrigerator. e.g. Less Load → 'Min' Setting.

CAUTION

Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45° angle while shifting the refrigerator.
Do not use sharp edges / knife for removing ICE.
Check Drain pipe at Rear Side incase of drain water overflow.
Condenser (Black mesh behind the refrigerator) may get warm during the run time. This is normal phenomenon.
Sweating / Water formation over refrigerator may happen during Monsoon / High humid conditions. Wipe it with soft cloth.

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.

Before Calling for Service

Check for yourself

Type of Complaint	Probable Cause	Remedy
1. Refrigerator does not work.	- Thermostat switch in 'OFF' position. - Power Supply Off. - Low Voltage.	Check that the thermostat knob is on 'Normal' (No.5) position and not in off position. Check that the refrigerator main supply plug is connected to the wall socket and that the supply is on. Check that the fuse is intact in the supply line. Install a line-correcting transformer in the mains, or a Voltage Stabilizer.
2. Refrigerator attempts to start, but does not operate.	- Defrosting over due	Defrost the refrigerator.
3. Refrigerator contents not cooling.	- Restriction of cold air circulation. Improper thermostat control selection. - Entry of hot air.	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. Opening and closing of the door too often will result in hot air from outside rushing into the refrigerator causing the temperature to go up. Reduce the frequency of opening the door.
4. Formation of water drops on exterior of refrigerator.	- Storing hot foods. - High humidity during monsoon season.	Avoid storing hot foods in the refrigerator, cool them to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator. 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 for 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.
6. Smell and odour.	- Improper covering and wrapping of food.	Wrap and cover foodstuffs properly. Place caps on bottles and other liquid stores. If the smell persists, defrost the refrigerator, remove all foodstuffs, clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe it dry before restating.
7. Difficulty in formation of ice and ice-cream.	- Incorrect thermostat setting. Defrosting overdue.	Set the thermostat on 'Colder' (No.7) position. Excessive frost on the freezer should be defrosted. Ensure that the container of ice-cream or ice is in proper contact with the surface of the freezer. No bowls, etc.
