Storing Food - LG LRBCC1204 Series Owner's Manual

Before Using the Freezer Icemaker
This feature is only available on some models.
NOTE
• Throw away the first bin full of ice after
installation. This is also necessary if the
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• The icemaker begins producing ice
approximately 48 hours after the appliance is
initially installed.
• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice
production will stop.
• The amount and shape of ice may vary according
to the environment (ambient temperature
around the appliance, frequency of the door
being opened, amount of food stored in the
appliance, water pressure, etc.).
• In the event of a power outage, throw away the
ice stored in the ice bin.

CAUTION
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so
may damage the icemaker or the containers
may burst.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect
ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting
in glass fragments in the ice.
NOTE
• The automatic freezer icemaker produces 12
cubes at a time, 50-110 pieces 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.).
• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a
long time may clump together and be difficult to
separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin
completely and clean it before reinstalling it.
Turning the Icemaker On/Off
To turn the automatic icemaker On/Off, press the
power switch on the icemaker to the ON ( | ) or
OFF (O) position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker
before the water line is connected can damage
the icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the
icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power
button is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it
has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, press the icemaker power button to
turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of ice dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the
icemaker refills.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power button to OFF and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker power button is turned to the OFF
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified technician drain the
water supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water
lines or connections.

Storing Food

NOTE
• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
