Cleaning; General Information - LG Refrigerator Owner's Manual

CLEANING

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain
plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse
abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap
or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then
dry.
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. If you have the No
Frost Model which defrosts automatically, leave
both doors open during the entire cleaning process.
Disconnect the power supply, and remove food and
all Compartment Shelves, Storage Trays etc. Wash
all compartments with a baking soda solution. Rinse
and dry.

GENERAL INFORMATION

VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation
with REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL at "MIN"
Position.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and don't leave door OPEN.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice
on top of your frozen packages.
INTERIOR PARTS -
door shelves, storage trays and magnetic door seals
etc. with a baking soda solution or a mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse and dry .
WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet
prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical
parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up
excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to
prevent water or liquid from getting into any
electrical part and causing a electric short
circuit. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning
liquids.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator .
To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them
all the way into the base.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the
refrigerator cabinet will
always be warm,
especially just after
installation. Don't be
alarmed. This is due to
the anti-condensation
pipe, which pumps hot
refrigerant to prevent
"sweating" on the outer
cabinet wall.
