USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS (Models with water dispenser)

IMPORTANT: Wipe out moisture before using the display button as operation of the button is based on touch sensing method and becomes slow or other buttons may operate if moisture is stuck to the surface of the button.

•Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

•Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (–18°C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.

•Refrigerator Temp Control: 32°F to 47°F (0°C to 8°C) The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

•Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder.

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse, press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.

NOTE: If you want to off display, press and hold ICE PLUS key and FREEZER key over 5 seconds at the same time.

NOTE: Touch display once to activate, then touch again to change the settings or activate a function. If 10 seconds has passed since the display has been touched, it will be necessary to touch “once” again to reactivate.

*This is to prevent accidental display setting changes.

•Ice Plus : Press the ICE PLUS button and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and the amount of ice produced.

•Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

When it is locked, the dispenser will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds.

•Filter Reset : It displays in months the number of months left to exchange the filter from the moment power is connected to the refrigerator. If you have changed the filter after 6 months of use, press and hold the FILTER button 3 seconds or more and the filter display will be initialized with a buzzing sound.

NOTE: The average life of the filter is 6 months.

WARNING: If a door is open, the dispenser does not work.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments.

LFC20740, LFC22740 specifications

LG Electronics has long been a leader in innovative home appliances, and its refrigerator offerings, particularly the LFC22740 and LFC20740 models, showcase their commitment to quality, functionality, and modern technology. These two refrigerator models are designed to meet the needs of contemporary households while adhering to the highest standards of energy efficiency and performance.

The LG LFC22740 is a 22 cubic feet, French door refrigerator that provides ample storage space without overwhelming a kitchen. One of its standout features is the Smart Cooling System, which employs advanced cooling technology to maintain optimal humidity and temperature levels. This system ensures that food stays fresh longer, thereby minimizing spoilage. The Linear Compressor, which is central to the Smart Cooling System, operates with fewer moving parts, leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced noise levels.

On the other hand, the LG LFC20740 offers similar quality but in a slightly smaller 20 cubic feet capacity. This model also utilizes the Smart Cooling System, ensuring that your groceries are kept at the perfect temperature, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly winter night. Both models feature a multi-air flow system that allows cold air to circulate throughout the refrigerator, maintaining consistent temperatures in every corner of the unit.

In terms of storage options, both LFC22740 and LFC20740 come equipped with adjustable shelving. This flexibility allows users to customize their storage space according to their needs, whether it’s for large party platters or day-to-day items. Additionally, the refrigerator compartments include humidity-controlled crispers, which are ideal for storing fruits and vegetables, ensuring they stay fresh and crisp longer.

For added convenience, both models feature an external ice and water dispenser. This not only provides instant access to chilled water and ice but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The sleek finish of these models, available in stainless steel, makes them an attractive addition to any kitchen décor.

In summary, the LG LFC22740 and LFC20740 are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and efficient. With their advanced cooling technologies, customizable storage options, and user-friendly features, these refrigerators are an excellent investment for those looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances.
