Before Using the Ice and Water Dispenser

Ice pieces can pose a choking hazard for persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Ensure they are properly supervised when consuming ice.Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.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 (10 liters) of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) after installation. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallons (10 liters) 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.
