INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the water fi lter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not
sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need
to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a
water pressure of 138~862 kPa is required.
Under normal conditions, a 0.17 L cup can be
lled in about 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure, you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make
sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser
lever until the water runs from the water outlet.
Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper tubing
and compression nut.
Connecting to the water supply line
First, shut off the main water 1.
supply.
Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and 2.
install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

indicator by touching the Alarm/hold 3
sec for Filter Reset button.
If water is not dispensing or
dispensing slowly, you need to
replace the water fi lter because
the water fi lter is clogged.
Some areas have large amounts
of lime in their water, which
causes the water fi lter to clog
more quickly.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
To reduce risk of water damage to your
property DO NOT use generic brands
of water fi lters in your SAMSUNG
Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTER.
SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from use of a
generic water fi lter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are
designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water
Filter.
The Filter light turns red to let you
know when it is time to change your
water fi lter cartridge.
To give you time to get a new fi lter,
the red light comes on just before the
capacity of the current fi lter runs out.
Changing the fi lter on time provides you with the
freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.
Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water 1.
lter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
Pull the water fi lter ( 2. 1 ) from the case fi lter ( 2 ).
• To change the water fi lter more easily,
shut off the water supply valve.
Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water
lter because impurities in the water cause it
to stick. If you are having dif culties, grip the
water fi lter fi rmly and pull it hard.
WARNING
When you pull the
water fi lter, a little
water can leak from
the opening. This is
normal. To minimize
the water leaks, keep the fi lter cartridge
horizontal when you pull it.
To prevent overfl ow, empty the water fi lter tray
( 3 ) and dry around the fi lter case ( 2 ).
Insert the new fi lter into the fi lter case ( 3. 4 ).
Push the fi lter, and then turn it clockwise until it 4.
locks.
If you have trouble inserting the water
lter because of high water pressure,
shut off the water supply valve.
The locked symbol should be lined up
with the indicator line.

Removing any residual matter inside
the water supply line after installing
the water fi lter.
Turn ON the main water 1.
supply and supply water
from water supply line.
Run water through the 2.
dispenser until the water
runs clear (approx. 6 to
7 minutes). This will clean the water supply
system and remove air from the lines.
Additional fl ushing may be required in some 3.
households.
Open the Refrigerator door and make sure 4.
there are no water leaks coming from the
w
ater fi lter.
Be sure to fl ush the dispenser thoroughly,
otherwise water may drip from the
dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet
valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 241
and 827 kPa.
If a reverse osmosis water fi ltration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 276 to 414 kPa. If the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less
than 276 to 414 kPa:
Check to see whether the sediment fi lter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace
the fi lter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refi ll after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water fi lter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used
in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water fi lter.
If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualifi ed plumber.

residual crushed ice might be produced.
Do not pull the lever out. You could damage
or break the lever’s spring.
To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild
detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
When you select Cubed Ice after using the
Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual
crushed ice might be produced.
The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice
making process will look white, which indicates
they are generated normally.
As the ice maker in the refrigerator room
makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice
cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the
freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes.

and try again.
Use only the ice maker provided with
the refrigerator. The water supply to
this refrigerator must only be installed/
connected by a suitably qualifi ed person.
Connect to a potable water supply only.
To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure
of 138~862 kPa is required.
If you have a long vacation or business trip and
won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long
time:
Close the water valve. Otherwise, water -
leakage may occur.
Remove all food. -
Unplug the refrigerator. -
Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave -
the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold
may develop. Do not put your fi ngers, hands
or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or
ice-maker bucket.
It may result in personal injury or material -
damage. Never put your fi nger or any other
objects in the dispenser opening.
It may cause injury. -
Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water
while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean
it.
When you insert the Ice maker tray, be
sure that the tray is well centered at the
entrance.
Otherwise, the tray may be stuck.
Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator fl ows
through the core fi lter which is an alkaline
water fi lter. In the fi ltering process, the
pressure of the water that has fl owed out
of the fi lter is increased, and the water
becomes saturated with oxygen and
nitrogen. When this water fl ows out into
the air, the pressure plummets and the
oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated,
which results in gas bubbles. The water
may temporarily look misty or cloudy due
to these oxygen bubbles. After a few
seconds, the water will look clear.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool 1.
down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).
Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to -
cool properly.
Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.2.
After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full 3.
glass of ice.
When you press the Test button, you will hear
the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the
chime sounds, release the Test button.
The chime sounds automatically again to let
you know the ice maker is working well.
If you want to remove the ice cubes without
using the ice bucket, please turn the ice
maker o. (However, remove the front
cover from the ice maker.) The ice cubes in
the ice maker can spill out over the drawer.
Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store
food in the ice bucket, the food may get in the
way of the ice maker while opening/closing
the door, causing damage to the ice maker.
Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket
may spill out over the drawer when
removing the ice bucket from the drawer.
If this is the case, be sure to clear the ice
cubes that spilled out of the drawer.
If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may
melt then freeze together when the power
comes back on, causing the dispenser to
be out of order.
To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull
out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or
water.
If you use all the ice at once, you must
repeat Steps 2 and 3 on the previous page.
However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the
rst 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice
cubes and ensure maximum ice production.
