28 OPERATION
CAUTION
• Throw away the first bin full of ice (about 140-
160 cubes) after installation. The first ice and 
water dispensed may include particles or odor 
from the water supply line or the water tank. 
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not 
been used for a long time.
• Dispense and throw away 2.5 gallons of water 
(flush for approximately 5 minutes) after 
installation. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon 
amount continuously. Press and release the 
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 
60 seconds OFF. This is also necessary if the 
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off 
the water supply and contact an LG Electronics 
Customer Information Center.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or 
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and 
refrigerator performance may be affected.
• When dispensing ice from the dispenser, do not 
use a fragile container.
• Do not hang on to or place heavy objects on the 
refrigerator’s dispenser.
• The dispenser will not operate when either of 
the refrigerator doors is open.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water 
filter and water supply. If the problem continues, 
contact an LG Electronics Customer Information 
Center. Do not use the water or ice until the 
problem is corrected.
• 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.
• Some dripping may occur after dispensing. Hold 
the cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds 
after dispensing to catch all of the drops.
• Keep containers at an appropriate distance from 
the dispensers. Tall, narrow glasses should be 
held far enough from the ice outlet to prevent 
ice from jamming in the ice chute. A container 
with a very small opening should be held as 
close to the dispenser as possible to avoid 
spilling.
