CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
WARNING 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 will not be 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 Filter.
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).
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 filter tray (3) and dry around the filter case (2).
3. Insert the new filter into the filter case ( 4).
4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it locks.
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 the Ice Type/Water Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset” button 
for about 3 seconds to reset the water filter. The color of of the indicator ( 
) changes from
6. If you turned off the water supply. turn it back on.
For a replacement water filter, you can visit your local home Improvement center or contact the Samsung Parts distributor. Be sure the replacement water filter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water filter.
Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter.
- Turn ON the main water supply and supply water to the refrigerator.
- Select water in the button "ICE TYPE/WATER”,pour Gal (6-7 minutes) to clean the water supplier system and it will take the air out from the lines.
3. If after pour 1 Gal the water doesn’t turn clear is possible an additional flushing in the household lines.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
Be sure to flush the dispenser system thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser. This means that there is still air in the line.
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.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
Basic temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments
The basic temperature and recommended temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are 0°F and 37°F(or -18°C and 3°C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer and Refrigerator 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.

The phenomenon of turbidity
The water entering the cooler circulates through the main filter is a filter for alkaline water. In the filtering process. the pressure of the water leaving the filter increases. and the water is saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When it is contacted with air. the pressure drops rapidly and the oxygen and nitrogen is oversaturated and generate gas bubbles. Temporarily. water can have a cloudy appearance due to these bubbles of oxygen. After a few seconds. water is colorless.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after dispensing ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes. When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.
