If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumber if uncertain how to check your water pressure.Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100 8 (37.8 7).Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40 8 (4.4 7).The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.To protect it from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 33 8 (0 7).Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110 8 (43.3 7).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 indicator turns on.When the water dispenser output decreases.To purchase a replacement water filter:Visit your local dealer or distributorSearch using "water filter" on lg.comUse replacement cartridge: ADQ72910906To remove the old water filter, turn the filter counterclockwise and then pull down and out. Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold hole.Make sure to turn off the household water supply.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.To replace with a new water filter, remove the red cap from the new filter.The substitute cap must be retained for the future. If the filter is removed and not replaced, it is necessary to reinstall the substitute cap to prevent water leaks from the filter housing.Insert the filter into the filter receptacle on the left side of the refrigerator compartment.Push the water filter up into the filter receptacle and rotate it clockwise to lock it into place. Once installed correctly, you should not be able to rotate the filter clockwise any more.After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system.Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon (10 liters) amount continuously. Press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.LG strongly recommends that you use LG-authorized water filters to prevent water quality issues, water leakage and appliance malfunction.For further assistance, call:1-800-243-0000 (USA)1-888-542-2623 (Canada)
