If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould
developing within 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 food.
Do not put food near the temperature sensor
of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of
at least 3 cm from the sensor.
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.
24
EN
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.
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
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. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
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.
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.
Max Freezing Capacity
The Express Freeze function will set the
freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.
This generally takes up to 24 hours and
automatically switches off.
If the maximum freezing capacity is to be
used, Express Freeze must be switched on for
seven hours before fresh produce is placed in
the freezer compartment.
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.

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
6 cubes at a time, 50-60 pieces 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.
While the automatic icemaker is operating, do
not touch it with your hands directly.
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,
clean the ice bin before using it.
Discard ice produced for the first time without
using it.
While the automatic icemaker is operating, do
not touch it with your hands directly.
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,

occur.
Caution should be taken, as the automatic
icemaker operates continuously after the
freezer door is opened when the automatic
icemaker switch is set to the on position.
Do not disassemble, repair or alter the
automatic ice maker. These tasks should only
be done by a service technician.
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.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or break
resulting in glass fragments 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.
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 it is placed
correctly. If it is tilted or unleveled, 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 and
appliance 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.
Dispose of the ice inside the ice bin in the
freezer compartment if you go out on vacation
or an extended power outage occurs. Water
from melting ice may drop from the dispenser
onto the floor.

Symptoms Reason Solution
The automatic
icemaker does not
produce ice or
produces a small
amount of ice.
Did you install the appliance
recently?
The ice maker produces ice normally
when approximately 48 hours have
passed after the appliance is
installed.
Did you connect the water
supply pipe to the appliance
and open the supply valve?
Connect the water supply pipe to the
appliance and open the supply valve
completely.
Is the water supply hose bent?
If the water supply hose is bent, the
water flow could be compromised.
Have you dispensed a large
amount of ice recently?
It takes approximately 24 hours to
produce more ice in the automatic
icemaker. Please wait.
Did you set the ice maker
switch or the automatic
icemaker button on the control
panel to ON?
Press I on the automatic icemaker
switch or set ON for the automatic
icemaker button on the control
panel. (For more details on how to
use, visit LG electronics website or
use your smart device.)
Is the temperature of the
freezer compartment set too
high?
If the set temperature is too warm,
ice will be produced slowly or not at
all. Set the Freezer temperature to
-18 °C for normal operation of the
automatic icemaker.
Have you been opening the
appliance door frequently?
If you open the appliance door
frequently, cold air will escape,
lowering the speed of ice production.
Do not open and close the appliance
door frequently.
Is the appliance door
completely closed?
If the appliance door is not
completely closed, the temperature
of the freezer compartment will
increase, slowing down the ice
production speed. Close the
appliance door completely.
Ice is not dispensed.
Is there ice in the ice bin?
Check whether there is ice in the ice
bin.
Is the ice clumped in the ice
bin?
Separate the ice bin and shake it.

Symptoms Reason Solution
Ice is not
dispensed.
Unable to hear the sound of ice
coming out?
In the control panel, select the
modes for cubed ice and crushed ice
alternately to dispense the ice.
Is the ice path blocked? (You can
check the ice passage by
separating the ice bin.)
Ice may not be dispensed properly if
the ice passage is blocked. Check
the ice and clean the ice path
regularly.
Water does not
come out.
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.
The water dispenser tank may be
empty? (For non plumbed models
only)
Fill the water dispenser tank.
Water does not come out when the
water tube is filled with air. (For non
plumbed models only)
Remove the water dispenser tank by
pulling it out while holding the
handle. Fill the water dispenser tank
with water and refit it on the fridge
shelf.
Is the water supply valve closed?
(For plumbed models only)
Open the water supply valve.
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.
