Suggestions on Food Storage

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.
Don't keep hot milk or hot food in your refrigerator. This will result in an increased temperature and increase in power consumption.
Never overload your refrigerator or cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets as it will reduce its efficiency.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperature to rise.
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.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures. Such as bananas, pineapples, etc.
Do not store glass bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves. It could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.
When storing eggs in their storage tray, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
Feel free to call your LG Customer Information Centre (CIC) / Branch / LG Representative in case your refrigerator has suffered a damage in transit.
It is recommended to use Voltage Stabilizer (0.5kVA) if power fluctuations are frequent and out of specified voltage range (100-290V/135-290V)**, Stabilizer usage increases the refrigerator life.
