CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser isjust 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.

Inorder for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20-t 25 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 tow 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
