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 bucket is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.

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

  • If ice cubes are stored in the ice bucket for a long period of time, they may clump together and may not be separated easily. In such a case, empty the ice bucket 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 discoloured 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 bucket if you go on vacation or if an extended power outage occurs. Water from melting ice may drop from the dispenser onto the floor.

  • A container with a very small opening should be held as close to the dispenser as possible to avoid spilling.
