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 FILTER.
SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from 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.
Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water 1.
filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
Pull the water filter ( 2. 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ).
To change the water filter more easily, •
shut off the water supply valve.

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

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

and “Power Cool” button
simultaneously for about 3
seconds.

Removing any residual matter inside
the water supply line after installing
the water filter.
Turn ON the main water 1.
supply and supply water
from water supply line.
Run water through the 2.
dispenser until the water
runs clear (approx. 6 to 7
minutes). This will clean
the water supply system and remove air from
the lines.
Additional flushing may be required in some 3.
households.
Open the Refrigerator door and make sure 4.
there are no water leaks coming from the
water filter.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly,
otherwise water may drip from the
