To reduce risk of water damage to your
property
DO NOT
use generic brands of
water filers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER
FILTERS
.
SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any damage,
including, but not limited to property damage caused
by water leakage fromthe use of a generic water filter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work
ONLY
WITH SAMSUNG
Water Filters.
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.
To change the water filter, follow these steps:
1.
Turn the water filter 90˚
counter-clockwise.
2.
Pull the water filter from the
filter housing.
3.
Insert new water filter inside
the filter housing.
4.
Turn the new water filter 90˚
clockwise.
5.
Press the “
Alarm/hold 3 sec for Filter Reset
”
button ( ) for about 3 seconds to reset the
water filter. The color of indicator changes from red
to light off.
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.
Removing residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing a new filter
1.
Press the Water button, and then push the
Dispenser Lever with a cup or glass.
2.
Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter, one
cup or glass at a time. (Flush approximately 6
minutes.) This will clean the water supply system
and remove air from the lines.
-
Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
3.
Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
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.
