CHECKing tHE watER DisPEnsER LinE

A water dispenser is just 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.

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.

1. Remove the water filter cover( 1 )

2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.

Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t use the filter.

3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown.

Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months in the future. For example, if you install the water filter in

March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to remind you to replace in September. That way you’ll know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is about 6 months.

test button

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):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

• If your 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.

Caution

When you do not use the water dispenser for 2~3 days (especially during the summer), the dispensed water may have a funny smell or taste. If this occurs, we recommend that you discard the first 1~2 glasses for better tasting water.

If you have just installed the Refrigerator or just installed a new water filter, pour out the first six glassfuls of water to flush out impurities in the water supply system. Make sure water flows cleanly before drinking.

Caution

If you have a long vacation or business trip, close the water valve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages.

PUSH

Water clouding phenomenon

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

Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you preparation time to get a new filter, the red light will come on just before the capacity of the current filter runs out. Changing the filter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.

1. Take a new water filter and put a month indicator sticker on the filter as shown.

The date on the sticker must be six months from the current date. For example, if you are replacing the water filter in March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the filter to remind you to replace in

September. Normal filter life is about every 6 months.

2. Remove the new filter’s protective cap and remove the old filter.

3. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.

Slowly turn the water filter clockwise to align with the printing mark on the cover, locking the filter in position. Make sure to align the water filter label mark with the center of cover filter printing as illustrated.

Remember, do not over-tighten.

4. Once you have completed this process, hold the Fridge + Power Cool button simultaneously for 3 seconds to reset the filter schedule.

5. Lastly, run about six glassfuls of water through water dispenser to clean the water supply system.

Make sure that water flows clearly again before drinking.

Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may drip from the dispenser.

This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.

Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may become blocked.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulation?

• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low?

• Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the Refrigerator?

Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator instead of keeping them in the

Cool Select Pantry™.

• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the temperature of the

Refrigerator interior.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating through the Refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors(for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.

• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
