STEP 7 Connect the water dispenser line
A
B
C
A
B
A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water lter 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.
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water
pressure of 30 to 120 psi (206 to 827 kPa) psi is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa),
you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the
refrigerator is properly lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs
from the water outlet.
NOTE
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend
using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a
compression nut.
1. Shut off the main water source.
2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff
valve (C) into the cold water line (A).
3. Connect the water line installation kit
(A) to the shutoff valve (B).

sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned
“OFF” and do not attempt to use the water dispenser.
2. Tighten the compression nut (07) onto the compression tting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (07).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you nd water drops or leakage in
the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the lter before drinking or using the water from the
refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To ush, press a large glass or cup against
the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that
period of time, throw out the rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure
all impurities have been removed from the water line.

Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.
1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when
you press the button.
2. You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.
CAUTION
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may
overow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker, especially
when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain
a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working
properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell
with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can
cause physical injury or property damage.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at the
entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.
If You Turn the Ice Maker Off
If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make
sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together,
making it difcult to remove them.
To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket (applicable models only) section on page 45.
NOTE
• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of
the refrigerator.
Water clouding
Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering
process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with
oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when
dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water ltration
system must be between 30 to 120 psi (206 to 827 kPa).
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water ltration system to the refrigerator’s
cold water line must be at least 40 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure is below these
specications:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter
if necessary.
• Rell the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when
used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter.

PASO 7 Conectar la tubería del dispensador de agua
El dispensador de agua con ltro es una de las funciones útiles de su nuevo refrigerador. Con el n de
promover la buena salud, el ltro de agua elimina las partículas no deseadas del agua. No obstante, no la
esteriliza ni destruye los microorganismos. Para eso, necesita adquirir un sistema de puricación de agua.
La tubería del agua también se conecta a la fábrica de hielo. Para que la fábrica de hielo funcione
correctamente, se requiere una presión de agua de entre 30 y 120 psi (206 y 827 kPa).
Si el refrigerador se instala en una zona con baja presión de agua (inferior a 30 psi/206 kPa), puede
instalar una bomba cebadora para compensar la baja presión.
Una vez conectada la tubería de agua, asegúrese de que el tanque de almacenamiento de agua dentro del
refrigerador esté lleno. Para hacerlo, presione la palanca del dispensador de agua hasta que salga el agua
por la salida.
NOTA
• Su distribuidor podrá ofrecerle los equipos de instalación de tuberías de agua disponibles a un costo
adicional. Recomendamos utilizar un equipo de instalación de tubería de agua que contenga tubería de
cobre y una tuerca de compresión de
1
/4" (6 mm).
1. Cierre el suministro de agua principal.
2. Inserte la abrazadera (B) y la válvula de cierre
(C) en la tubería de agua fría (A).
3. Conecte el equipo de instalación de la tubería
de agua (A) a la válvula de cierre (B).

PRECAUCIÓN
No instale el ltro de agua en ninguna parte del
refrigerador. Esto podría dañar el refrigerador.
1. Conecte la tubería de agua corriente al acople de compresión ensamblado.
- Si utiliza una tubería de cobre, deslice la tuerca de compresión (07) (no provista) y la férula (no
provista) por la tubería de cobre (no provista) como se muestra en el gráco.
- Si utiliza una tubería de plástico (08), inserte el extremo moldeado (bulbo) de la tubería de plástico (08) en el acople de compresión.
Instalación
PRECAUCIÓN
• Si utiliza una tubería de plástico (08), no la use sin el extremo moldeado (bulbo).
• Dejar la tubería de agua desconectada puede causar que con el tiempo la válvula de agua emita un
zumbido. En este caso, asegúrese de desactivar la fábrica de hielo colocándola en “OFF” y no intente
usar el dispensador de agua.
2. Ajuste la tuerca de compresión (07) sobre el acople de compresión. No ajuste demasiado la tuerca de
compresión (07).
3. Abra el agua y verique si hay alguna fuga. Si encuentra gotas o fugas de agua en las zonas de las
conexiones, cierre el suministro de agua principal. Revise las conexiones y, de ser necesario, ajústelas.
4. Haga correr 1 galón de agua a través del ltro antes de beber o de utilizar el agua del refrigerador. (El
agua debe correr unos 6 minutos.) Para hacer correr el agua, presione la palanca del dispensador de
agua con un vaso o una taza grandes. Llene el vaso, vacíelo y luego repita la operación.
5. Tras poner en funcionamiento el refrigerador, deje que la fábrica de hielo haga hielo durante 1 o 2
días. Pasado este tiempo, deseche las primeras 1 o 2 cubetas de hielo que hace la fábrica de hielo para
asegurarse de que se hayan eliminado todas las impurezas de la tubería de agua.
NOTA
Conecte solamente la tubería de agua a una fuente de agua potable.
• Si debe reparar o desensamblar la tubería de agua, recorte
de que la conexión sea perfecta y libre de pérdidas.
• Puede probar rápidamente la tubería del agua con un vaso de papel. En condiciones normales, el
dispensador de agua puede llenar un vaso de 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) en aproximadamente 10 segundos.
