Removing the Ice Bin (Optional)
Hold the ice bin with both hands and pull it out 
while lifting it upward.
 • When the automatic icemaker is not used, the 
ice bin can be used as a freezer basket.
 • If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, it 
may be heavy. Remove it using both hands.
WARNING
 • Do not touch the automatic icemaker 
mechanical parts with your hand or a tool. 
Otherwise, appliance damage or injury may 
occur.
 • Caution should be taken, as the automatic 
icemaker operates continuously after the 
freezer door is opened when the automatic 
icemaker switch is set to the on position.
 • Do not disassemble, repair or alter the 
automatic ice maker. These tasks should only 
be done by a service technician.
CAUTION
 • Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 
20 cubes and 7 cups of water). This is also 
necessary if the appliance has not been used 
for a long time.
 • The first ice and water dispensed may include 
particles or odor from the water supply line or 
the water tank.
 • Keep children away from the dispenser. 
Children may play with or damage the 
controls.
 • The ice passage may become blocked with 
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the 
frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin 
and clearing the passage with a rubber 
spatula. Dispensing cubed ice periodically can 
also help prevent frost buildup.
 • 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.
 • Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to 
collect ice. Such containers may chip or break 
resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
 • Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with 
water or other beverages. Splashing may 
occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that 
already contains liquid.
 • Do not touch the ice outlet or the automatic 
icemaker with your hand or a tool. Otherwise, 
appliance damage or injury may occur.
 • When refitting the ice bin, ensure it is placed 
correctly. If it is tilted or unleveled, it may not 
continue to make ice due to sensor disruption.
 • Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow 
or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and 
appliance performance may be affected.
 • 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 in the 
freezer compartment if you go out on vacation 
or an extended power outage occurs. Water 
from melting ice may drop from the dispenser 
onto the floor.
