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 kit that contains copper tubing.

Check the accessory list below.

Hex wrench Clip

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 with water ﬁlter,

turn on water supply and Flush 3 gallons through ﬁlter before use (ﬂush approximately 6 minutes).

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Connecting the water line to the Refrigerator.

There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You may ﬁnd these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

• 1/4” compression nut • plastic tubing

• copper tubing • ferrule

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression ﬁtting.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (B) (not included) and ferrule (not included) on copper tubing (not included) as shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B) into the compression ﬁtting.

Do not use without the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B).

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression ﬁtting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).

3. Turn water on and check for any leakage.

Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.

If you have to repair or disassemble the water

line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

BEFORE USING ICEMAKER

Remove

- Hold the handle as shown in Figure1.

- Slightly pull up the bottom part.

- Take out the ice bucket slowly.

Install

- Assemble the icemaker in the reverse order of disassembly.

- Push the bucket in ﬁrmly until you hear a clicking sound.

- If the bucket does not ﬁt into its place, turn the gear handle on its back by 90 degrees and reinstall it again as shown in Figure 2.

Before calling service

- Any sounds you hear when the ice maker dumps ice into the bucket are part of normal operation.

- If you don’t dispense ice for a long period of time, the ice may form clumps in the ice bucket. If ice clumps form, remove the remaining ice and empty the bucket.

- When ice does not come out, check for ice stuck in the chute and remove it.

- When Ice Off blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly.

- When the door is open, the Ice and water dispenser do not work.

- If you close the door hard, it may cause water spilling over the ice maker.

- To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use both hands when removing it.

- To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any ice or water that may have dropped on the ﬂoor.

- Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser or on the bucket. They may get hurt.

- Be sure not to put your hand or any object into the ice chute. It may cause personal injury or damage mechanical parts.

01 SETTING UP

Removing residual matter inside the water supply line after installing ﬁlter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply.

2. Press the Water button and push the Dispenser

Lever.

3. Flush 1 gallons of water through the ﬁlter before use. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

4. Additional ﬂushing may be required in some households.

5. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water ﬁlter.

A newly installed water ﬁlter cartridge may cause water to brieﬂy spurt from the water dispenser. This is due to air getting into the line. It should pose no problem to operation.

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

1. Lift up the icemaker cover and gently pull it out.

2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds,

the ice cube container is ﬁlled with water from the water supply tap. Check to make sure the amount of water is correct (see the illustration below). If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small. This is a water pressure problem from within the main water pipes, not the refrigerator.

- It will take a few minutes to reach the amount of water you want.

- Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is ﬁlled with ice or water. Water may overﬂow or ice jamming may occur.

- When the bucket is not installed, the ice maker

does not work.

- When "Ice maker will not work when the ice bucket is not installed" message appears on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly.
