Common Questions
15 totalHow often does the water filter need to be replaced, and how do I reset the filter indicator?
The water filter should be replaced once every six months. When the filter month indicator reaches '0', it is time to replace the filter. After replacing the cartridge, press and hold the LIGHT/FILTER button for more than 3 seconds until you hear a beep to reset the filter month indicator back to six. (Page 14, 19)
How long does it take for a newly installed refrigerator to start making ice?
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice. The ice maker produces 5 cubes per cycle, totaling between 60 and 80 cubes in a 24-hour period depending on freezer temperature and door usage. You should also discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. (Page 15)
What should I do if the refrigerator is not dispensing ice?
First, ensure all refrigerator doors are fully closed, as ice will not dispense if any door is left open. Check that the control panel is not locked — press and hold the Lock button for 3 seconds to unlock it. Also verify that the ice bin is installed correctly and that the ice maker power switch is in the ON (I) position. For a new installation, wait 24 hours for ice production to begin and 72 hours for full ice production. (Page 25-26)
What are the electrical requirements for installing the LG LSC27935 refrigerator?
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own properly grounded outlet using a 3-prong grounding plug. The power supply should be 115 V, 60 Hz A.C. and fused at 15 or 20 amps. The use of extension cables is not recommended, and you should never cut or remove the third grounding prong from the plug. (Page 5)
How do I set the refrigerator temperature, and how long should I wait before adjusting it?
Initially set the refrigerator control to 37°F (3°C) and allow 24 hours to stabilize before making any further adjustments. Press the REFRIGERATOR button on the control panel to adjust the temperature setting. Always wait at least 24 hours between adjustments to allow the temperature to stabilize. (Page 13-14)
How do I activate the Ice Plus function and what does it do?
Press the ICE PLUS button once to activate the increased ice-making function; the ICE PLUS icon on the display panel will illuminate when activated. The Ice Plus function runs the freezer compartment at its coldest settings for a 24-hour period to increase ice production. Press the button again to cancel the Ice Plus function. (Page 13)

Caution
5 This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced sensory or mental capacity, or persons with lack of experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to assure that they do not play with the appliance. Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there “for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to prevent any accidents.
Before Disposing Your Refrigerator Or
Freezer When No Longer In Use:
To Connect Electricity
Warning
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have a qualified electrician check your wall outlet to ensure that the plug is grounded properly.3 prong grounding type wall receptacle
3 prong Ensure proper grounding ground exists plug before use
Recommended Grounding Method
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current should only be 115 V, 60 Hz, A. C. and fused at 15 or 20 A. This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that cannot be disconnected with a switch. Do not use an extension cable. It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two- prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three- prong outlet. Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third prong from the plug. NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.Use Of Extension Cables
We do not recommend the use of extension cables. However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable, it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports three- pronged plugs and that the electrical current support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V. The use of an extension cable will increase the amount of space needed behind the refrigerator.Warning
Replacing Electrical Cable
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by our service center or qualified LG technician to avoid any risk.Caution

Warning
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice. The ice maker produces 5 cubes per cycle (in between 60 and 80 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on the temperature of the freezer, the times in which the door opens, and other using conditions (amount of food in the freezer, etc). If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the ice maker, set the power switch to OFF (O). 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 ice maker 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.Food Storage Guide
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.Items
How To Store
Storing Fresh Food Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator.

Storing Frozen Food
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook. Packaging Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food. Packaging Recommendations:Caution
Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment. They may burst if they freeze. Freezing Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours [no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot (0,9 to 1,35 kg per cubic meter) of freezer space]. Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. Food storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals. NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.Water And Ice Dispenser

Warning
Explosion Hazard
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.General Cleaning Tips
Outside
Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a product specially designed for polishing stainless steel appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine, such as degraders, detergents (containing TSP) and bleaches.Inside Walls
NOTE: Allow freezer to warm up so cloth will not stick. To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.Door Liners And Gaskets
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels) Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.Back Cover

Care And Cleaning
22 REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
Warning
DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says: ...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold- below 40 °F (4 °C). ...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat. Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.When You Go On Vacation
