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.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.

In-Door Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 70 - 182 cubes within a 24-hour period if conditions are favourable. 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.).Auto Shutoff (feeler arm)

Before Using the Freezer Icemaker

This feature is only available on some models.The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed.Throw away the first few batches of ice after installation.The sound of ice dropping into the ice bucket is normal.If the ice bucket is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.The amount and shape of ice may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food stored in the appliance, water pressure, etc.).In the event of a power outage, throw away the ice stored in the ice bucket.

Freezer Icemaker (Craft Ice)

This feature is only available on some models.Feeler ArmDo not insert round ice into the in-door ice bucket, as it can damage the ice and water dispenser.The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear.Following installation or water filter replacement, the first few batches of ice may be semicircular or contain air bubbles.If the water pressure is less than 20 psi (138 kPa) or a reverse osmosis system is used, the shape of the ice may vary.The ice may look cloudy depending on the water quality in the installation location and the operating conditions.Throw away any shards of ice you may find in the ice bucket, as they may stick to the ice stored in the ice bucket.After a short term power outage, it will take longer to make the first batch of ice, and the ice may not be round. If the power will be out for a longer period, throw away the ice stored in the ice bucket.The Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3 pieces) at a time.In 3 ICE mode, the Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice (3 pieces) about every 24 hours. In 6 ICE mode, the Craft Ice icemaker produces 2 batches of round ice (6 pieces total) in the same period.For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode. For clearer ice, select the 3 ICE mode.The time needed to make ice may vary according to operating conditions.The ice bucket stores 20-30 pieces of round ice.

Using the Freezer Ice Bucket

This feature is only available on some models.The ice bucket stores ice from the freezer icemaker.The freezer ice bucket must be placed in the correct orientation. Failure to do so can damage the ice bucket and icemaker.Remove the ice bucket to create more space inside the freezer if you do not use it.The pad on the bottom of the ice bucket is designed to reduce the sound of the ice dropping. Do not remove the pad.Clean the pad with water and dry it thoroughly before putting it back in place.

Removing/Refitting the Ice Bucket

The ice dispensing chute may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bucket and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice periodically can also help prevent frost buildup. Turn off the automatic icemaker. Press and hold the Ice On/Off button on the control panel for 3 seconds.Gently pull the handle to open the ice compartment.To remove the in-door ice bucket, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the ice bucket as shown.Refit the in-door ice bucket in the reverse sequence of their removal.Do not touch the automatic icemaker’s mechanical parts with your hand or any mechanical implement. Doing so may cause serious injury or damage to the appliance.Do not disassemble, repair or alter the automatic icemaker. These tasks should only be done by a service technician.Caution should be taken, as the automatic icemaker operates continuously after the freezer door is opened when the automatic icemaker is set to ON.Keep children away from the dispenser.When refitting the ice bucket, ensure that it is placed correctly. If it is tilted or unlevel, it may not continue to make ice due to sensor disruption.

Turning the Icemaker On/Off

To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press and hold the Ice On/Off button on the control panel for three seconds.Do not keep the power turned on to the icemaker if the water line is not connected. Doing so can damage the icemaker.

Normal Sounds You May Hear

The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker fills with water. If the Ice On/Off button is set to On, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, press the Ice On/Off button to Off position.You will hear the sound of ice dropping into the ice bucket and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Preparing for Vacation

To turn the icemaker off, press and hold the Ice On/Off button for 3 seconds. Also, shut off the water supply to the appliance.The ice bucket should be emptied any time the icemaker(s) is turned off.If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
