5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your refrigerator.
5.1 Cleaning
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Dry thoroughly.

- Allow the frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up defrosting, as this can damage the appliance.
- Wipe away melted water and dry the interior thoroughly before restarting the refrigerator.
5.3 Toughened Glass Shelves
The shelves are made of toughened glass, designed to withstand heavy loads. Handle them with care during cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, please check the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator does not operate. | Power cord unplugged; power outage; circuit breaker tripped. | Check power connection; check household fuse/breaker. |
| Temperature is not cold enough. | Temperature control set too warm; door opened frequently; excessive food load; poor ventilation. | Adjust temperature setting; ensure door is closed properly; reduce food load; ensure proper clearance around the unit. |
| Unusual noises. | Refrigerator not level; items rattling inside; normal operating sounds (e.g., refrigerant flow). | Level the refrigerator; rearrange items; normal sounds are not a fault. |
| Excessive frost buildup. | Door not sealed properly; frequent door opening; high humidity. | Check door gasket for proper seal; reduce frequency of door opening; perform manual defrost. |
If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact LG customer service for assistance.
