INSTALLING 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.
The water line also connects to the ice maker.
For the ice maker to operate properly, water
pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi (138 ~ 862 kPa) is
required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20 psi), 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 filled.
To do this, press the water dispenser lever until
water runs from the water dispenser.
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
make sure the ice maker is turned off.
2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking water
line.
3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.
4. Connect the water line installation kit to the
shut off valve.
