Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your LG LT10CBBWIN 254 Litre Double Door Refrigerator. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the appliance and retain it for future reference. Proper installation, operation, and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your refrigerator.
Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator. Ensure the appliance is properly grounded. Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance. Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Dispose of packaging responsibly. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage incurred during transit. If damage is found, contact your retailer immediately.
Placement
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor.
- Ensure adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation. Maintain at least 5 cm (2 inches) clearance from the back and sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) from the top.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., stoves, radiators) as these can increase energy consumption.
- The refrigerator is designed to operate on a 220 Volt power supply.
Leveling
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom front of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This helps prevent vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
Initial Power-On
After placement, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging in the refrigerator. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) before storing food items.

Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
The refrigerator features adjustable temperature controls for both the fresh food and freezer compartments. Refer to the internal dial or digital display (if applicable) to set your desired temperature. Recommended settings are typically 3-5°C (37-41°F) for the refrigerator and -18°C (0°F) for the freezer.
Internal Features
- Multi Air Flow: This system ensures even cooling throughout the refrigerator compartment, helping to maintain consistent temperatures and keep food fresh.
- Pull-out Tray: A convenient tray designed for easy access to frequently used items or for temporary storage of larger dishes.
- Fresh Zone: A dedicated drawer or compartment optimized for storing fruits and vegetables, helping to preserve their freshness and crispness.
- Adjustable Shelves: The refrigerator includes 5 shelves that can be adjusted to accommodate items of various heights.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
- Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel doors, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
- Door Gaskets: Clean door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. A dirty gasket can lead to inefficient cooling.
- Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Dust and debris can accumulate, reducing efficiency. Unplug the appliance before cleaning coils.
Defrosting
This refrigerator features an Automatic Defrost system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting of the freezer compartment. If excessive frost builds up due to frequent door opening or high humidity, ensure the door seals are intact and consider reducing door opening frequency.
Power Outage
In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain internal temperatures for as long as possible. Food can remain safely stored for several hours depending on the duration of the outage and how full the compartments are.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, review the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator not operating | No power, power cord unplugged, circuit breaker tripped. | Check power supply, ensure cord is securely plugged in, reset circuit breaker. |
