WATER FILTER
The water “Filter Indicator” light
“Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. The light
•
will change from green to orange. This tells you that it is almost time to change the current cartridge.
It is recommended that you replace the cartridge when the light changes to red.
(see “Install the water filter” section for more information)
If you install water filter, throw away the first six glassfulls of water filter, or until water flows clearly to
•
flush impurities in the water supply system.
Using the dispenser without the water filter
You can not use the water and ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line
•
blocks at the water supply.
Ordering replacement filters
To order more water filter cartridges, call 1-800-SAMSUNG and ask for accessory Part # DA29-
•
00003B or contact your authorized Samsung dealer.
DOORS

close all the way and are securely sealed.
When opening the door, it will only open so far. After reaching a certain point, it will remain open.
When the door is partially open, it will close automatically.

Selecting the Location for the Refrigerator
• Select a location with easy access to the water supply.
• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator.
• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• Select a location with a level floor or close to it.
• Before disassembling the freezer door, the water supply line needs to be disconnected.
(If not, the water supply line may be damaged.)
• See “Removing the Freezer Door” on page 25.
Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.
When the refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.
•
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing the refrigerator.
NOTE
This has the advantage of reducing power consumption.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C).

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Water pipe Pipe-Connect Water Packing
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 1.4 ~ 8.5kgf/cm2 (0.14~0.83Mpa,
19.9~120.9psi, 1.37~8.3bar) is required.
In this range a 100 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (1.4kgf/cm2, 0.14Mpa, 19.9psi,
1.37bar), you should install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is preperly filled initially. Push the water
dispenser lever until the water runs from the outlet.

2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the fridge door and check if water leaks around the
water filter.

NOTE
A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) To remove : Set the type of ice to the “Ice Off” position. Lift up
(①) and pull out (➁) the ice bucket in the freezer.
To replace : When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it and
rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the drawer back

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will
stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser :
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with
a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally
when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
4) Water Supply to the Icemaker :
The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.
5) Start the Icemaker :
Set the type of ice to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reachs its operating of 10.4°F( -12°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if
the type of ice is in the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position.
•
If there is no water supply, turn off the icemaker to save energy.
NOTE
•
In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to make sure enough
water reaches the icemaker.
•
Allow the appliance to stand for 2hours after installation.
WARNING
Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator.
