                          How to Measure & Fit Right

                          The refrigerator installed in the space

                          Use this four-point plan to ensure your LG fridge freezer will be the perfect fit for your home:

                          1. Take accurate measurements of the space where you plan to install your LG fridge freezer. Remember to factor in any skirting boards when measuring width and depth, and ensure you have access to a power socket.

                          2. Add in some extra space around your LG fridge freezer to allow for ventilation. We recommend a buffer of at least 50mm on all sides including the top to allow for efficient operation.

                          3. Check you will have sufficient space around your Fridge Freezer to open the doors once installed. LG’s Combi models come with reversible doors for added flexibility of installation.

                          4. Think about how you will get your Fridge Freezer to its final destination. Will it fit through doorways / up the stairs / inside a communal elevator? Measure and plan the access route beforehand or installation could cause headaches. Doors are removeable on certain models for ease of installation / access.

                          Choice of Colours & Finish

                          Their sheer size makes fridge freezers generally one of the most visible appliances in the kitchen, so it’s important to get the colour and finish right. LG offers a menu of modern neutral options to ensure you can find a fridge freezer that either matches existing appliances or provides a stylish contrast. Choose from the following selection of colours:

                          Matte Black

                          Many LG American style fridge freezers are available in Black or Matt Black: guaranteed to give your kitchen that ‘wow’ factor.

                                Silver

                                From Silver to Stainless or Shiny Steel, this is a sleek, timeless look that integrates well with most kitchen styles and colour schemes.

                                      Dark Graphite

                                      Choose this shade if you are looking for a chic darker option but don’t want to go all the way to higher-maintenance Black.

                                            Instant access to chilled, filtered water and ice, whenever you fancy it? Yes, please!
                                            Ice and water dispensers are available across all types of LG fridge freezers – including the slimline Tall range.
                                            You don’t even have to connect your LG fridge freezer to the main water supply to enjoy ice and water on tap.

                                            Plumbed
                                            Plumbed LG fridge freezers connect directly to your water supply through a filter for a secure supply of clean, chilled H₂O on demand. Cubed, crushed and artisan ice can also be dispensed, depending on the model.

                                            Non-Plumbed
                                            When it’s not possible to access a water supply for your appliance, choose one of our non-plumbed models with a built-in refillable water tank connected to the door-mounted dispenser. Simply keep the tank topped up to enjoy the luxury of chilled water on tap.

                                            Frost Free Freezer

                                            Those thick layers of frost inside your freezer are a real headache – not only do they eat into precious storage space, they can also compromise the freezer’s performance.
                                            The LG Total No Frost system means never again will you face the chore of defrosting.
                                            An automatic timer within your freezer activates a small heater periodically to prevent ice build-up: goodbye ice crystals, hello better freezer performance. Plus: more space to store your frozen food safely and securely!

                                            Smart Fridge with LG ThinQ™

                                            For Your Energy Efficient Home

                                            LG Inverter Linear Compressor

                                            LG fridge freezers boast market-leading energy efficiency. In the forefront is our Inverter Linear Compressor Technology which delivers lower energy consumption, noise and vibrations.

                                            Find out how it works.

                                            A compressor is the means by which cold air is pumped around inside your fridge. Its operation has a major effect on the energy consumption of your appliance and its ability to maintain an even temperature throughout. Even cooling keeps your food fresher for longer, retards spoilage and thus reduces food waste.

                                            LG’s Smart Inverter Compressor technology uses a digital inverter to adjust the speed of the compressor, enabling your appliance to better maintain a consistent temperature compared with a single-speed compressor.

                                            Moreover, our Inverter Linear Compressor replaces the rotating motion of a conventional compressor with a simpler linear movement, significantly reducing friction. The result? Reduced energy loss, lower noise (35dB) and fewer vibrations from your LG fridge freezer.

                                            Cold air is pumped quietly as required around the interior of your LG fridge, delivering chill to the areas where it is needed, as it is needed. Food stays fresh for longer, you waste less and your energy bills do not suffer.

                                            *Compared to the refrigerator with LG conventional reciprocating compressor. Based on VDE testing comparing energy consumption and noise level between LGE model GBB530NSCXE and GBB530NSQWB.

                                            Q.

                                            Are American fridge freezers worth it?

                                            A.

                                            LG American style fridge freezers are great if you need plenty of storage space as they have over 600L of net capacity –perfect for large families or serous foodies! Also, compared to multi-door types, the verticality of their space structure means more shelves which can be very helpful with organizing your food items.

                                            Q.

                                            Do American fridge freezers use a lot of electricity?

                                            A.

                                            Since they offer large storage space, American style fridge freezers generally tend to use to more energy than other types. That’s why it’s so much more important to make sure that your American style fridge freezer is as energy efficient as possible - LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor technology combines the energy-saving benefit of adjustable compressor speed with innovative linear structure which reduces friction points to minimize energy loss.

                                            Q.

                                            Is it better to have separate fridge and freezer?

                                            A.

                                            If you really need the extra storage space, you might have to choose separate fridge and freezer. But in terms of cost, energy consumption and convenience of having everything storied in the same unit, a fridge freezer can be a more efficient alternative. Of course, it really depends on your needs and priorities.

                                            Q.

                                            Is double door fridge any good? /
                                            Is double door fridge useful?

                                            A.

                                            Also known as Tall fridge freezer, double door fridges offer the convenience of having a separate freezer section for all your frozen delights. LG Tall fridge freezers have bigger fridge space on top of freezer, giving you easy access to the more frequently used fridge.

                                            Q.

                                            What is a frost free fridge freezer?

                                            A.

                                            It is a fridge freezer with a dynamic cooling system which automatically defrosts itself. Frost forms when water vapour hits ice-cold cooling coils, condenses into water and then immediately freezes. A frost free fridge freezer uses a timer to regularly turn on a heating coil around the cooling coil to melt the ice off, thus automatically preventing frost build-up.

                                            Q.

                                            What is the difference between a plumbed and non plumbed fridge?

                                            A.

                                            A plumbed fridge is connected directly to the water supply to feed the water dispenser. A non-plumbed fridge is not connected to the water supply and instead uses a built-in water tank which you have to top up regularly.

                                            Q.

                                            How do non plumbed fridge freezers work?

                                            A.
