Before You Install the water line
• This water line installation is not warranted by Samsung.
Followthese instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts
and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the"lce Type" is set to the ICE
OFF position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insu-
lated or wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.
All installations must be in a accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Connect the water tube to the refrigerator.
1) Slip the compression nut through the provided
plastic tubing.
2) Tighten the compression nut onto the 1/4"
compression fitting.
@ Do not overtighten the compression nUL ""
NOTE
o Using Copper Tubing
- Slip the compression nut and ferrule on copper
tubing as shown.
Using Plastic Tubing

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) To remove : Set the "Ice Type" switch to the Ice off position. Lift
up ((lb)and pull out (@)the icemaker bucket in the freezer.
To replace :When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it
and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the drawer
back again.
ICE MAKER
2) Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to
clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will
stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
3)
CHECK THE WATER LEVEL
important Facts About Your Dispenser :
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice FeelerArm
can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser
opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally
when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
Drive
Mechanism
4) Water Supply to the Icemaker "
The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.
5)
Start the Icemaker "
Set the "Ice Type" to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemaker will not begin to operate
until it reachs its operating temperature of 10.4°F(-12°C) or below. It will then begin operation auto-
matically if the "ice Type" is in the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position.
NOTE
• If there !s no Watersupply, turn off the icemaker t0 Saveenergyl
• In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn 0nup to 3 times to make sure enough
water reaches the icemaker.
