OPERATION
ENGLISH
• If ice cubes are stored in the ice bin for a long
period of time, they may clump together and
may not be separated easily. In such a case,
empty the ice bin and allow fresh ice to be made.
• It is normal for milky or cloudy water to be
dispensed after replacing the water filter. This
air in the water will clear eventually and is safe to
drink.
• The first ice and water dispensed may include
particles or odour from the water supply line or
the water tank.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water
tank and the water supply for a possible source.
If the problem continues, contact the LG
Electronics customer information centre. Do not
use the ice or water until the problem is
corrected.
• Do not touch the ice outlet or the automatic
icemaker with your hand or a tool.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with
water or other beverages. Splashing will occur if
ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains
liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage, affecting
the performance of the appliance.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice
outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may
prevent ice from dispensing.
• Dispose of the ice inside the ice bin if you go on
vacation or if an extended power outage occurs.
Water from melting ice may drop from the
dispenser onto the floor.
In-Door Icemaker
The automatic icemaker can automatically make 70
- 182 cubes at a time, within a 24-hour period if
conditions are favorable. This amount may vary
according to the environment (ambient
temperature around the appliance, frequency of
the door being opened, amount of food stored in
the appliance, etc.).

Turning the Automatic
Icemaker On or Off
To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the
power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or OFF
(O) position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (|)
position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the
power switch to OFF (O).
• Do not keep the power turned on to the
icemaker if the water line is not connected.
Doing so can damage the icemaker.
Preparing for Vacation
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified technician drain the
water supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water
lines or connections. Set the icemaker power
switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to
the appliance.
