48 MAINTENANCE
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient 
temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed 
on a water system, a device for controlling 
pressure due to thermal expansion must be 
installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free 
from leaks.
Replacing the Water Filter
• Replace the water filter:
-  Approximately every six months.
-  When the Replace Filter h icon turns on.
-  When the water dispenser output decreases.
• To purchase a replacement water filter:
-  Visit your local dealer or distributor
-  Search using "water filter" on lg.com
-  Use replacement cartridge: LT1000P, 
LT1000PC, LT1000PCS or ADQ747935**
1  If the top shelf, located below the water filter, 
is in the highest position, it will need to be 
removed prior to replacing the water filter.
• To remove any shelf, tilt up the front of the 
shelf and lift it. Pull the shelf out.
2  Pinch the sides to open the water filter cover.
3  Pull the water filter downward and turn it 
counterclockwise before pulling it out.
• Make sure to rotate the filter down 
completely before pulling it out of the 
manifold hole.
• Replacing the water filter causes a small amount 
of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
• Wrap a cloth around the front end of the water 
filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the 
water filter upright, once it is removed, to 
prevent any remaining water from spilling out of 
the water filter.
4  Replace with a new water filter.
• Take the new water filter out of its packing 
and remove the protective cover from the o-
rings. With the water filter tabs in the 
horizontal position, push the new water 
filter into the manifold hole and turn it 
clockwise until it stops.
5  Close the water filter cover. The cover will click 
when closed correctly.
6  After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 
gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 
minutes) to remove trapped air and 
contaminants from the system.
