CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features on your new Samsung Refrigerator. To help promote better

health, the Samsung water filter 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 20-125 psi (pound per square inch) is
required.

Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to

compensate for the low pressure.
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 atextra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply that

contains copper tubing.

kit

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.

2. Locate the nearest cold, drinking water line.

3. After connecting the water supply to the water filter, turn your main water supply back on and flush four
or more gallons into a bucket to clear and prime the water filter.

the right side of ice maker.

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.

The temperature of the Freezer or the Refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too frequently, or if a

large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.

This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator temperature return to their

normal set temperatures, the blinking will stop.
If the blinking continues, you may need to "reset" the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance, wait for

around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in.

USING THE COLD WATER DISPENSER

Using the Water dispenser (RF266AB)

Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the

water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the

dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out.

Z_ When you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days (especiallyduring the

CAUTIONsummer), the dispensed water may have a funny smell or taste, if this occurs, we

recommend that you discard the first 1-2 glasses for better tasting water.

If you have just installed the Refrigerator or just installed a new water filter,
pour out the first six glassfuls of water to flush out impurities in the water

supply system. Make sure water flows cleanly before drinking.

If you have a long vacation or business trip, close the water

CAUTIONvalve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages.

Water clouding phenomenon

®

All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. Inthis process,
the pressure in the water that has flowed out of the filter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become
saturated. When this water flows out in the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get
supersaturated so that they turn into gas bubbles. The water could look misty due to these oxygen bubbles.
The water may look temporarily cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will

look clear.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills.
