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 of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) after installation. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon 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. 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. In-Door Icemaker This feature is only available on some models. a Power Switch (some models) b Auto Shutoff (feeler arm)
