Frequently Asked Questions (10)
How long should I wait before putting food in my new LG LSC27931** refrigerator?
Allow the refrigerator to run for at least 2 to 3 hours before placing any food inside. Check that cold air is flowing in the freezer compartment to ensure it is cooling properly. It is preferable to wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. (Page 10)
What temperature should I set the refrigerator compartment to initially?
Set the refrigerator control to 37°F (3°C) initially. Maintain this setting for 24 hours to allow the temperature to stabilize, then adjust as needed. The temperature displayed is the target temperature, not the actual current temperature inside the refrigerator. (Page 10)

What should I do if the refrigerator is not working at all?
Check whether the power cord is unplugged and reconnect it to a properly powered outlet if needed. Also check whether a fuse has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. The refrigerator may also be in a defrost cycle, which lasts approximately 30 minutes, so wait for the cycle to finish. (Page 23)
How long does it take for the automatic ice maker to start producing ice after installation?
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice. The ice maker will start operating once the freezer reaches freezing temperature, and ice production will begin automatically when the ice maker switch is set to ON. Discard the first batch of ice cubes to ensure clean, fresh ice. (Page 19)
What should I do with my refrigerator during a power outage?
If the power outage lasts 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed to retain cold air and preserve food. If the outage lasts more than 24 hours, either transfer frozen food to another freezer or place 2 lbs of dry ice per cubic foot of freezer space, which will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Always wear gloves when handling dry ice to protect against burns. (Page 18)
What is the required electrical supply for the LG LSC27931** refrigerator?
The refrigerator must be connected to a properly grounded, individual electrical outlet rated for 115 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, at 15 to 20 amperes. A separate circuit is recommended for this appliance, and the use of extension cords is not recommended. If an extension cord must be used, it must be UL or CSA listed, 3-prong grounded, rated at minimum 15 amperes and 120 volts. (Page 4)
How do I clean the interior of the LSC27931** refrigerator and remove odors?
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning, then remove all shelves, bins, and other removable parts. To help eliminate odors, wash the interior with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in one quart (approximately 1 litre) of warm water, ensuring the baking soda is fully dissolved to avoid surface damage. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth, then rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. (Page 17)
