OPERATION

CAUTION

•  Be careful not to twist the ice tray with force as it 

can be broken.

•  If you open and close the freezer door 

frequently, it may take longer for water to be 

frozen.

NOTE

•  You can remove the ice maker to create more 

space inside the freezer compartment if you do 

not use it.

•  If the ice tray is overfilled, the ice cubes may stick 

together and be difficult to remove.

•  Ice can be removed more easily by pouring 

water on the ice tray.

Automatic Icemaker

Before Using the In-Door 

Icemaker

CAUTION

•  The first ice and water dispensed may include 

particles or odour from the water supply line or 

the water tank.

•  If discolored 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 automatic icemaker with your 

hand or a tool.

•  Do not remove the cover of the automatic 

icemaker.

•  Dispose of the ice inside the ice bin if you go on 

vacation or if an extended power outage occurs.

NOTE

•  The icemaker produces ice normally when 

approximately 48 hours have passed after the 

appliance is initially installed.

•  If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice 

production will stop.

•  Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
•  If ice cubes are stored in the ice bin for a long 

period of time, they may clump together and 

may not be separated easily. In such a case, 

empty the ice bin and allow fresh ice to be made.

In-Door Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 

40-84 cubes at a time, 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.).
