LG GN-V232 S, Owner'S Manual

I

t 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, 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 

INTERIOR PARTS

 - Wash compartment shelves,

solution. Rinse and dry.

door racks, storage trays, and magnetic door seals

etc. with the baking soda solution or a mild deter-

gent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

WARNING

Always remove power cord from the wall

outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of elec-

trical 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

shock. Do not use flammable or toxic clean-

ing liquids.

VACATION TIME

During average length vacations, you will probably

find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.

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 leave each door OPEN

to prevent odor formation.

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.

DRY ICE WARNING 

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO

2

). 

When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing

dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, and

death by suffocation. 

Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.

IF YOU MOVE

If you move, empty the refrigerator (freezer) 

completely and wash a mild solution of baking soda

and water. (2 TBS soda to 1 quart water) 

Be sure the soda is completely dissolved to avoid

scratching the inside of the refrigerator (freezer). 

Secure any loose items, such as racks, bins, ice

trays, etc. Do not try to move a loaded refrigerator.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may

sometimes get 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.
