34 OPERATION
CAUTION
• 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.
NOTE
• 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.
Automatic Icemaker
WARNING
• DO NOT place fingers in the automatic icemaker
when the refrigerator is plugged in.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the
ejector mechanism or with the heater that
releases the ice cubes.
Before Using the In-Door Icemaker
NOTE
• Ice is made in the automatic in-door icemaker
and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker
produces 70 - 182 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
installed refrigerator to begin making ice.
• Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full.
When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice.
• Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff
(feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make
sure the auto shutoff (feeler arm) area is clean at
all times for proper operation.
• To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus
function. The function increases both ice making
and freezing capabilities.

Before Using the Freezer Icemaker
This feature is only available on some models.
The feature may vary depending on model
purchased.
NOTE
• Throw away the first bin full of ice after
installation. This is also necessary if the
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• The icemaker begins producing ice
approximately 48 hours after the appliance is
initially installed.
• 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.).
