Notes for Operation

• Do not use the ice water dispenser tank for beverages other than drinking water.
• Users should keep in mind that frost can form. If the door is not closed completely, if the humidity is high during the summer, or if the freezer door is opened frequently.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the door to close completely.
• Opening the door lets warm air enter the appliance, and may cause the internal temperature to rise.
• Do not open or close the appliance door excessively.
• The LED lamp is only intended for use in domestic appliances and is not suitable for household room illumination.
• If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from growing in the appliance.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment, set the freezer temperature lower than the temperature indicated on the appliance.
• Do not set the temperature of the appliance lower than needed. For ice making in normal climates, the freezer temperatures should be set to -18 °C or colder.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor.
• Please note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact this may have on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.
• The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

Storing Foods Effectively

- Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.

- Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.

- Do not store food for a long period of time (more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low temperature.

- Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.

- Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition.

- Do not wrap and store vegetables with newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or other foreign substances may smear and contaminate food.

- Do not overfill the appliance. Fill less than 70% of the space. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

- Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the appliance can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the appliance.

- If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a temperature lower than the required temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

• Always keep the appliance clean.

- If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

- In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.

- You should avoid opening the doors, while the power is off.

- When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food.

Max Freezing Capacity

- The Express Freeze function will allow the freezer to its maximum freezing capacity. This generally takes up to 24 hours, however, it will automatically turn off after a given time and can also be turned off manually at any given time.

- To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts like baskets, drawers, and shelves.

Maximum Storage

• To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.

- If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer drawers shall be taken out of the appliance except the bottom one and the food shall be stacked directly on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

- To remove the drawers, first pick the food out of drawers. Then use the handle of drawers, pull out the drawers carefully. It may cause injury.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 cubes and 7 cups of water). This is also necessary if the appliance has not been used for a long time.

NOTE

• If you open the freezer door while water is being dispensed, the water supply will stop and the control panel will return to the initial screen.

• If you open the fridge door while water, cubed ice or crushed ice is being dispensed, dispensing will be paused. When you close the door, the selected item for the previously set mode will continue to be dispensed.

• If the cup rim is small, water may splash out of the glass or miss it completely.

• Use a cup with a rim of over 68 mm in diameter when dispensing water, cubed ice or crushed ice.
• When the ice maker produces smaller ice cubes, or the cubes become lumped together, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker may be low due to insufficient water in the water tank. If ice is not used frequently, it may also lump together.

Automatic Icemaker

The automatic icemaker can automatically make 70-182 cubes at a time, within a 24hr 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.).

• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• The icemaker produces ice normally when approximately 48 hours have passed after the appliance is initially installed.
• Discard ice produced for the first time without using it.

CAUTION

• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 cubes and 7 cups of water). This is also necessary if the appliance has not been used for a long time.
• The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
• 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 periodically can also help prevent frost buildup.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not touch the ice outlet or the automatic icemaker with your hand or a tool. Otherwise, appliance damage or injury may occur.
• When refitting the ice bin, ensure that it is placed correctly. If it is tilted or unlevel, it may not continue to make ice due to sensor disruption.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage, affecting the performance of the appliance.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
• Dispose of the ice inside the ice bin in the freezer compartment if you go on vacation or if an extended power outage occurs. Water from melting ice may drop from the dispenser onto the floor.

	Are you using unfiltered water?	· Unfiltered water can contain a large amount of various heavy metals or foreign substances, so the filter may be clogged in the early stage regardless of the life of the filter.
Water tastes strange.	Is the taste of water different when comparing it with the taste of water from the previous water purifier?	· Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended period of time?
	Has it been a long time since you installed and replaced the filter?	· If an expired filter is used, the purification performance may decline. It is recommended to replace the filter according to the filter replacement period.
	Have you flushed out the filter properly in the initial stage after installing it?	· When you install or replace the filter for the first time, you need to remove air and activated carbon residue from inside the filter. Use the appliance after dispensing and discharging approximately 5 litres of purified water from the dispenser by pressing the water dispensing lever. (Activated carbon is harmless to humans.)
	Has the purified water or cold water not been used for an extended period of time?	· The taste of old water may change due to bacterial growth. Use the product after dispensing and discharging approximately 5 litres (approximately three minutes) from the water dispenser.
