Before Using the In-Door Icemaker

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

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

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

  • 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.

Caution
  • 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.
