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.
Water line installation kits are available at extra 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.

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.

This means 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):
o Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if
necessary.
o Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heaw usage.
o Ifyour 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.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
Basic Temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments
The basic temperature and/or recommended temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are
-19°C and 3°C respectively.
If the temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature
manually.
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The Freezer temperature can be set between -14°C and -25°C 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 -15°C.
The temperature display will move sequentially from -25°C to -14°C. When the display reaches -14°C,
it will begin again at -25°C. 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 7°C and 1°C as 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 when you open 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.
Ifthe 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.

Water clouding phenomenon
®
All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In this process,
the pressure inthe water that has flowed out of the filter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become
saturated. When this water flows out inthe 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 afew seconds, the water will
look clear.

ICE PRODUCTION
Normal Use
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.
Whenever all ice is used at one time, the above step 3 and 4 must be repeated (before dispense the first
4 to 6 ice cubes, it needs waiting 8 hours). This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice
production.
