AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 10 or
12 ice cubes (depending on your device) at a time,
above 100 cubes per 24-hour period. This quantity
may vary by circumstance, including freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings, freezer load, and other
operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic
icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be 20 and 120psi on
models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter to make normal
amount and size of ices.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when ice
drops into the ice storage bin.
• Even when the water pipe is not connected and the
Ice Maker is turned on, the water valve operates.
The noise is generated because the water pipe is
not connected, which does not mean the icemaker
is defective.
wWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
wCAUTION
• The first ice and water may include particles or odor
from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20
pieces) and purge the water line for 2 minutes after
installation to eliminate air and odd tastes.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice bin
for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage
the icemaker or the containers may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and
water supply. If the problem continues, contact an
Authorized Service Center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser.
Do not allow children to play in or around dispenser.
• The ice passage may also become blocked with frost if
only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that
accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break, and glass
fragments could be in the ice.
• 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.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door
and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact an Authorized
Service Center. Call USA 1-800-243-0000
CANADA 1-888-LGCANADA (24 hours a day,
365 days a year) and select the option to locate an
authorized servicer.
