STEP 7 Connect the water dispenser line
A

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).

• If you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days, the dispensed water may have an abnormal smell or taste. This is not a system failure. Discard the rst 1-2 glasses of water.
Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4 to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.

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 overow 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 rell 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 difcult 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.

Maintenance
NOTE
• A newly installed lter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briey. This is because air has entered the waterline.
• The replacement process may cause the water dispenser to drip for a short period of time. If it drips, simply wipe up any water on the oor with a dry towel.
Reverse osmosis water ltration system
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 specications:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
• Rell 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.
For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.

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 puricación 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 gráco.
- 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 verique 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.
