WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle approximately 100 - 130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on).

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

NOTE: If the cube size is smaller or larger than you expected, you can regulate the size with the cube size button. (nomally caused by variations in water pressure.)

Every time you press the cube size button, the indicator light go up. The higher position light is on, the larger cubes will be. (1st step is the next after the 5th step.)

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF)

When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute or two.

When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

LFC20740, LFC22740 specifications

LG Electronics has long been a leader in innovative home appliances, and its refrigerator offerings, particularly the LFC22740 and LFC20740 models, showcase their commitment to quality, functionality, and modern technology. These two refrigerator models are designed to meet the needs of contemporary households while adhering to the highest standards of energy efficiency and performance.

The LG LFC22740 is a 22 cubic feet, French door refrigerator that provides ample storage space without overwhelming a kitchen. One of its standout features is the Smart Cooling System, which employs advanced cooling technology to maintain optimal humidity and temperature levels. This system ensures that food stays fresh longer, thereby minimizing spoilage. The Linear Compressor, which is central to the Smart Cooling System, operates with fewer moving parts, leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced noise levels.

On the other hand, the LG LFC20740 offers similar quality but in a slightly smaller 20 cubic feet capacity. This model also utilizes the Smart Cooling System, ensuring that your groceries are kept at the perfect temperature, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly winter night. Both models feature a multi-air flow system that allows cold air to circulate throughout the refrigerator, maintaining consistent temperatures in every corner of the unit.

In terms of storage options, both LFC22740 and LFC20740 come equipped with adjustable shelving. This flexibility allows users to customize their storage space according to their needs, whether it’s for large party platters or day-to-day items. Additionally, the refrigerator compartments include humidity-controlled crispers, which are ideal for storing fruits and vegetables, ensuring they stay fresh and crisp longer.

For added convenience, both models feature an external ice and water dispenser. This not only provides instant access to chilled water and ice but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The sleek finish of these models, available in stainless steel, makes them an attractive addition to any kitchen décor.

In summary, the LG LFC22740 and LFC20740 are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and efficient. With their advanced cooling technologies, customizable storage options, and user-friendly features, these refrigerators are an excellent investment for those looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances.
