18

How To Use

Food Storage Tips

The following tips may not be applicable

depending on the model. Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check use by dates to ensure freshness. Food How to Butter or Margarine Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze. Cheese Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf. Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf. Fruit Do not wash or prepare fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf. Leafy Vegetables Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper. Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper. Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased. Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids. Storing Frozen Food Freezing Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals. Note Check a freezer food guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times. Note Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy. Note Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any kind as they can explode or shatter.

19

How To Use

Storing Frozen Food (continued) Packaging Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food. Packaging recommendations: Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting yy lids Straight-sided canning/freezing jars yy Heavy-duty aluminum foil yy Plastic-coated paper yy Non-permeable plastic wraps yy Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic yy bags Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use Bread wrappers yy Non-polyethylene plastic containers yy Containers without tight lids yy Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap yy Thin, semi-permeable wrap yy Adjusting the Refrigerator Shelves The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have either glass or wire shelves. Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open which will save energy. Detaching the Shelf Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight up. Pull the shelf out. Refitting the Shelf Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height. Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots. Caution Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or spilling food.

20

How To Use

Using the Folding Shelf You can store taller items, such as containers or bottles, by simply pushing the front half of the shelf underneath the back half of the shelf.

This takes about 3 seconds, and the display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis. Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG service center. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis. If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax machine. Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless your refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done without using Smart Diagnosis. Using Smart Diagnosis First, call to the LG service center. Only use the Smart Diagnosis feature when instructed to do so by the LG call center agent. 1 Lock the display. To lock the display, press and hold the Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.) 2 Open the right refrigerator door.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Problem Possible Causes Solutions Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling. The refrigerator display control is set to OFF (some models). Cancel the OFF mode so that the unit commences operation. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings, or call Customer Service if OFF remains on the Display panel. Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly. Wait 40 minutes to confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed. Refrigerator was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature. Refrigerator was recently relocated. If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power. Cooling System runs too much. Refrigerator is replacing an older model. Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology. Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored. The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added. Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.) Doors are not closed completely. Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting. Refrigerator is installed in a hot location. The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures 70°F(21°C) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above

110°F(43°C).

Condenser / back cover is clogged. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. Disconnect the mains before cleaning.
