CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
The “Filter” 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.
1. Take a new water filter and put a month indicator sticker(
1
) on the filter as shown. The date on the
sticker must be six months from the current date. For example, if you are replacing the water filter in
March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the filter to remind you to replace in September. Normal filter
life is about 6 months.
2. Remove the new filter’s protective cap(
2
) and remove the old filter.
3. Position and insert the new filter into the cover filter. Slowly turn the water filter clockwise to align with the
printing mark on the cover, locking the filter in position. Make sure to align the water filter label(
3
) mark
with the center of cover filter printing as illustrated. Remember, do not over-tighten.
4. After above steps, press and hold the Alarm / Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button for 3 seconds to reset the
filter.
5. Lastly, run about six glassfuls of water through water dispenser to clean the water supply system. Make
sure that water flows cleanly again before drinking.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly otherwise water may drip from the dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.
Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may become
blocked.
Ordering a Replacement Water Filter
For a replacement water filter, you can visit your local home improvement center or contact the Samsung

filter.
