INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a ﬁlter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water ﬁlter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize the water or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is required. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), 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 ﬁlled. 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 a ¼” compression nut.

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut o valve.

Cold water line

Installing a SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonator

To use the Sparkling Water feature on your refrigerator, you need to install a SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonator. You can pick up the SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonator at retailer near you and your ﬁrst Sodastream CO2 Carbonator is free. (For further information, please visit “www.sodastream.com/samsung”)

Purchasing SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonators

• Purchase SodaStream 60 L Carbonators at the nearest Sodastream retailer or on line. Visit www.sodastream.com for more information.

• USE ONLY SODASTREAM 60 L CARBONATORS. SAMSUNG and SODASTREAM are not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by gas leakage from the use of generic carbonators (or CO2 cylinders). The sparkling water system in your SAMSUNG refrigerator is designed to work ONLY WITH SODASTREAM 60L CARBONATORS.

• We suggest buying extra Carbonators for later use. Store extra Carbonators in a cool, open space, well out of the reach of children. Do not store Carbonators in the refrigerator.

If sparkling water is produced when the internal refrigerator temperature or the temperature of the SodaStream Carbonator is high, you may hear a “horn sound”. When you turn on your refrigerator for the ﬁrst time, wait at least two hours before running the sparkling water production function. When you purchase a new SodaStream Carbonator, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place until you are ready to install it (23 ~ 68°F (-5 ~ 20°C)). If the SodaStream Carbonator is stored in higher temperatures, it may build up extra internal pressure, which could create a “horn sound” when the refrigerator produces sparkling water.

Water Line Hookup

• Make sure that you have connected the refrigerator to a water line before installing the Carbonator.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

WARNING

To reduce the risk water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water ﬁlters in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS. SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by water leakage from the use of a generic water ﬁlter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters. The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is time to change your water ﬁlter cartridge. To give you time to get a new ﬁlter, the red light comes on just before the capacity of the current ﬁlter runs out. Changing the ﬁlter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.

To Change the Water Filter

1. Shut o the water supply.

Then, turn the water ﬁlter (1) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.

(Red)

2. Pull the water ﬁlter (1) from the case ﬁlter (2).

• To change the water ﬁlter more easily, shut o the water supply valve.

• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water ﬁlter because impurities in the water cause it to stick. If you are having diculties, grip the water ﬁlter ﬁrmly and pull it hard.

• When you pull the water ﬁlter, a little water can leak from the opening. This is normal. To minimize the water leaks, keep the ﬁlter cartridge horizontal when you pull it.

• To prevent overﬂow, empty the water ﬁlter tray (3) and dry around the ﬁlter case (2).

Be sure to ﬂush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser. This means that there is still air in the line.

6. If you turned o the water supply, turn it back on.

For a replacement water ﬁlter, you can visit your local home Improvement center or contact the Samsung Parts distributor. To order more water ﬁlter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer. Be sure the replacement water ﬁlter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water ﬁlter.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water ﬁlter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply if you turned it o when you installed the water ﬁlter.

2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

3. Additional ﬂushing may be required in some households.

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 35 and 120psi (241 and 827kPa). If a reverse osmosis water ﬁltration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment ﬁlter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the ﬁlter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to reﬁll after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water ﬁlter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water ﬁlter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualiﬁed plumber.

4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water ﬁlter.
