NOTE

• Before using the water dispenser tank after installing the appliance, it should be washed before filling it with water.

• Check if the water dispenser tank has been placed on the appliance correctly. If it is not assembled correctly, water may leak from the tank into the appliance.

• If there is an insufficient amount of water in the water dispenser tank, ice cube size and quantity may be affected and may result in no ice being made.

• If there is no water in the water dispenser tank, the cold water and ice dispensing function of the dispenser cannot be used. Check if there is water in the water dispenser tank and then fill it with water if there is not.

• Wait at least 15 seconds before removing the water tank after after having dispensed water or ice from the dispenser.

• Sound from the water tank will be normal when supplying water to the dispenser and the Automatic Ice Maker. It is not a sign of malfunction.

Water and Ice Dispenser

You can dispense cubed ice, water and crushed ice by pressing the respective button for the desired mode.

• When you touch the Cubed, Water or Crushed button on the control panel, the lamp on the control panel will turn on and the desired mode will be set. At this time, when you press the dispenser lever, the selected appliance (cubed ice, water and crushed ice) will be dispensed.

• The function is enabled and disabled in turn each time you press the button on the control panel.

CAUTION

• Keep children away from the dispenser to prevent children playing with or damaging the controls.

• 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.

NOTE

• If you open the freezer door while water is being dispensed, the water supply will stop and the control panel will return to the initial screen.

• If you open the fridge door while water, cubed ice or crushed ice is being dispensed, dispensing will be paused. When you close the door, the selected item for the previously set mode will continue to be dispensed.

• If the cup rim is small, water may splash out of the glass or miss it completely.

• Use a cup with a rim of over 68 mm in diameter when dispensing water, cubed ice or crushed ice.

• When the ice maker produces smaller ice cubes, or the cubes become lumped together, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker may be low due to insufficient water in the water tank. If ice is not used frequently, it may also lump together.

Automatic Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 6 cubes at a time, 50-60 pieces within a 24hr 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.).

• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.

• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.

• The icemaker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed.

• Discard ice produced for the first time without using it.

• While the automatic icemaker is operating, do not touch it with your hands directly.

• 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, clean the ice bin before using it.

Switching the Automatic Icemaker On and Off

Hold and remove the cover of the automatic

icemaker by lifting it upward.

When the automatic icemaker is not used,

the ice bin can be used as a freezer basket after selecting the icemaker switch to the off position.

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.
