Notes for Cleaning

•

When removing a shelf or drawer from inside 

the appliance, remove all stored foods from the 

shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to 

the appliance.

−

Otherwise, injury may occur due to the 

weight of stored foods.

•

If cleaning the outside air vents of the 

appliance by means of vacuuming, then the 

power cord should be unplugged from the 

outlet to avoid any static discharge that can 

damage the electronics or cause an electric 

shock.

•

Detach the shelves and drawers and clean 

them with water, and then dry them sufficiently, 

before replacing them.

•

Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft 

towel.

•

Door basket spills and stains should be 

cleaned as they can compromise storage 

ability of the basket and could even be 

damaged.

•

After cleaning, check if the power cable is 

damaged, warm or improperly plugged.

•

Keep the air vents on the exterior of the 

appliance clean.

−

Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance 

damage.

•

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps 

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic 

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least 

twice a year using appliance wax (or auto 

paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

•

When cleaning the inside or outside of the 

appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush, 

toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use 

cleaning agents containing flammable 

substances.

−

This may cause discoloration or damage to 

the appliance.

−

Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol, 

methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, 

etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable 

liquid, abrasive, etc.

•

For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge 

or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm 

water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. 

Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

•

Never clean the shelves or containers in the 

dishwasher.

−

The parts may become deformed due to the 

heat.

•

If the appliance is equipped with an LED lamp, 

do not remove lamp cover and LED lamp in 

any attempt to repair or service it.  

Please, contact the LG Electronics customer 

information centre.

Containers and Bins 

•

Containers and bins can easily become dirty 

from spilled food. Remove them occasionally 

and rinse them out to avoid odors. 

See page 36 for instructions on removing the 

middle and bottom drawers for cleaning. 

•

Shelves can become dirty from spilled food. 

Remove them occasionally and clean with a 

wet cloth. To remove the shelf, lift it at the back 

and pull it forward.

•

Before cleaning the container lids, remove the 

rubber packing from inside the lid. Remember 

to replace the rubber packing once the lids are 

clean.  

Do not clean the containers and lids in water 

hotter than 50 °C. 

Gently clean the containers with a soft sponge 

to avoid scratching the surface.
