CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is 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.

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 it in September. That way you’ll know when
it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is
about 6 months.

set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
The temperature of the Freezer or the Refrigerator may rise when you open the doors too frequently, or if a
large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.

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.

To fill ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, make sure to do the
following steps.
1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).
2. Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
3. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
4. After 8 and 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice at each time.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to
prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after taking out ice or
water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes. When you select
