Suggestions On Food Storage - LG Refrigerator Owner's Manual

OPERATION
DEFROSTING
It is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensure efficient operation.
●
The frost on the surface of the evaporator should not exceed a quarter of an inch(6mm) before
defrosting.
To defrost, turn the control to '0'.
●
Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporator and place the drip tray in its
●
proper position.
When defrosting is completed, remove the drip tray, empty water, dry and put it back to its normal position.
●
Turn the control dial to a desired position.
CAUTION: Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice tray
from the evaporator.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining
●
its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
●
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead
●
to higher electric bills!
When storing, cover food 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 open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
●
temperatures to rise.
Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen.
●
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
●
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
●
food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
