Ice and Water Dispenser

Before Use

CAUTION

• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 140 - 160 cubes) after installation. 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 performancemay be affected.

NOTE

• The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 140 - 160 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• 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.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

Using the Ice and Water Dispenser

Select the desired dispenser mode from the buttons on the dispenser control panel.

Press the dispenser paddle 1 with a glass or other container to dispense cubed ice, water or crushed ice.

Using the Measured Fill

The Measured Fill function dispenses premeasured amounts of water automatically.

1. Select the desired amount from the Measured Fill buttons on the dispenser control panel.
2. Press the dispenser switch with a container.
3. To stop the measured fill, release the dispenser switch.

Locking the Ice and Water Dispenser

Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to lock the dispenser and all the control panel functions. Follow the same instructions to unlock.

Ice Compartment

CAUTION: Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

In-Door Ice Bin

The icemaker stops producing ice when the indoor ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice may stack unevenly in the bin, causing the icemaker to misread the number of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

CAUTION

• When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.
• Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.
• Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is turned OFF for more than a few hours.

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 can also help prevent frost buildup.

Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin

1. Gently pull the handle to open the ice compartment.

2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

CAUTION: Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service center should disassemble or repair the icemaker.

The feature may vary depending on model purchased.

NOTE

• 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 bin is normal.
• If the ice bin 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 bin.

Cubed Ice

1. Feeler Arm
2. Power Switch

NOTE:

• This automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour 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.).
• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin completely and clean it before reinstalling it.

Craft Ice^TM

1. Feeler Arm
2. Power Switch

CAUTION: Do not insert spherical ice into the in-door ice bin, as it can damage the ice and water dispenser.

NOTE

• 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.
• Throw away any shards of ice you may find in the ice bin, as they may stick to the ice stored in the ice bin.
• After a short term power outage, it will take longer to make the first batch of ice, and the ice may not be spherical. If the power will be out for a longer period, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin.
• The Craft Ice^TM icemaker produces 3 spheres of ice at a time every 18 - 30 hours.
• The ice bin stores 20 - 30 spheres of ice.

Turning the Automatic Icemaker On

To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or OFF (O) position.

Normal Sounds You May Hear

• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power button is in the ON mode, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, press the icemaker power button to turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Preparing for Vacation

Set the icemaker power button to OFF and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker power button is turned to the OFF mode.

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.

Storing Food

Food Storage Tips

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

CAUTION

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
• Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
• If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

Humidity Controlled Crispers

Using the Humidity Controlled Crispers

This feature is only available on some models.

The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and vegetables by letting you easily control humidity inside the drawer.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crispers by adjusting the control to any setting between Vegetables and Fruit.
