[LG Water Purifier] How to use the Outlet Sterilization feature

Troubleshooting Water Purifiers 09/04/2024

The Outlet Sterilization feature sterilizes the pipes connected to the water outlet at high temperatures.

Try this

Hold down the 'Outlet Sterilize' button on the top of the water purifier for 3 seconds to initiate the sterilization process.

→ All LED lamps except the Outlet Sterilize button are turned off and outlet sterilization proceeds.

Please note that the Wifi and Up/Down LEDs also remain illuminated.
During the sterilization process, other features, including water dispensing, will be temporarily unavailable.

Pressing the outlet sterilize button for 3 seconds

Place a container with a volume of at least 300㎖below the water outlet.

→ The volume of a standard mug is usually between 300㎖-350㎖, so please prepare a larger container than the standard mug.

A container larger than 300 ml is placed under the water outlet.

When a container of at least 300㎖ is ready, press the Dispense button.

→ Outlet Sterilization will proceed for about 10 minutes.

Warning!

Hot water will be discharged 7 minutes later, so make sure it is out of reach from children.

Pressing the water dispense button

When Outlet Sterilization is completed, discard the discharged hot water.

→ It is safe to drink the water from the water purifier right after sterilizing the water outlet.

When outlet sterilization is completed, discard the discharged hot water.
Wait! Find out more.
① If you would like to cancel Outlet Sterilization while it is in progress, press the Outlet Sterilize button for at least 3 seconds.
If you cancel Outlet Sterilization, then internal cleaning will take place for about 5 minutes, so please wait a moment.

※ Details of the internal cleaning process after cancelling Outlet Sterilization
Internal cleaning lasts until the cold water tank sensor detects a temperature below 35℃ and the temperature difference between the feed water sensor and the water outlet sensor is within 5℃.
As cleaning duration depends on the internal temperatures of the product, there may be a variation of 1 to 5 minutes in cleaning times.

② Outlet Sterilization does not take place automatically as it involves the discharge of hot water through the water outlet.
③ For hygienic use of the water purifier, please use the Outlet Sterilization feature once every 3 months.
