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.
16_ Setting Up
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that
contains copper tubing.
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.

2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.
Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t
use the filter.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown.
Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months in
the future. For example, if you install the water filter in
March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to remind you
to replace in September. That way you’ll know when
it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is
about 6 months.

You should remove the right side upper glass shelf before installing water filters.
Removing any residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing the water filter.
1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to
the water supply line.
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(approx. 6-7 minutes). This will clean the water supply
system and remove air from the lines.
3. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no
water leaks coming from the water filter.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may drip from the dispenser.
This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
02 OPERATING
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.
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.
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The Freezer temperature can be set between 8°F and -14°F to suit your particular needs. Press the
Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in
mind that foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F.
The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°F to 8°F. When the display reaches 8°F, it will
begin again at -14°F.
Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature until the new temperature is reached.
Controlling the Refrigerator temperature
The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 46°F and 34°F to suit your particular needs. Press
the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.
The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process.
Press the Fridge button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin
adjusting towards the newly set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
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.
If you have a long vacation or business trip, close the water
valve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages.
The water tank’s capacity is approximately one third (1/3) of a gallon.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills.
