3. Adjust the height by turning a philips screwdriver (+) clockwise ( ) or counterclockwise ((( ( ( )

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize the water 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 the water runs from the water outlet.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut off valve.

Connecting the water supply 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. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting. If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown. If you are using plastic tubing ( B ) , insert the molded end (Bulb) of the pla

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

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat.

5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water filters 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 from the use of a generic water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters

The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you time to get a new filter, the red light comes 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 refrigerator.

1. Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.

2. Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ).

NOTE

• To change the water filter more easily, shut off the water supply valve.
• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water filter because impurities in the water cause it to stick. If you are having difficulties, grip the water filter firmly and pull it hard.
• When you pull the water filter, a little water can leak from the opening. This is normal. To minimize the water leaks, keep the filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
• To prevent overflow, empty the water tray filter ( 3 ) and dry around of case filter ( 2 ).

3. Insert the new filter into the filter case ( 4 ).

4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it locks.

NOTE

• If you have trouble inserting the water filter because of high water pressure, shut off the water supply valve.

• The locked symbol should be lined up with the indicator line.

5. Touch and hold the “Alarm / hold 3 sec for Filter Reset” button ) for about 3 seconds to reset the water filter indicator. The indicator’s red light will turn off.

6. If you turned off the water supply, turn it back on.

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

1. Turn ON the main water supply and supply water from water supply line.

2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

3. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

​​​​​

4. 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 if 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

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments

The basic and recommended temperatures of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are 0 °F and 37 °F (or -18 °C and 3 °C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature manually

Controlling the Freezer temperature

​​​​​

The Freezer temperature can be set between -8 °F and 5 °F (or between -23 °C and -15 °C) to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 °F (or 1 °C) with each press. See below
