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 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.

Household water line

1.Slip the compression nut through the supplied plastic tubing .

2.Tighten the compression nut onto the 1/4” compression fitting.

-If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (not included) and ferrule (not included) on copper tubing (not included) as shown.

-If you are using plastic tubing , insert the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing into the compression fitting.

CAUTION Do not use without the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing .

3. Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut . 4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.

Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.

If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

Installing the water filter.

	1. Remove the water filter cover( 1 )
	2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.		1
	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	2	3
	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.

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.

One Touch Pure Water

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.

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 Refrigerator temperature can be set between 7°C and 1°C 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.

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.

When you do not use the water dispenser for 2~3 days (especially during the

CAUTION summer), 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.

PUSH

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

CAUTION valve 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. In this 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.
