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 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 out
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 in, 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.
WARNING
• The locked symbol should be lined up
with the indicator line.

5. Touch the “Alarm/hold
3 sec for Filter Reset”
button (
(Filter Reset)
) for about
3 seconds to reset the
water filter. The color of the
indicator ( ) changes from red to off.
6. If you turned off the water supply, turn it back
on.
• For a replacement water filter, visit your
local home Improvement center, go to
SamsungParts.com on line, or contact
your authorized Samsung dealer.
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.
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.
• Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly,
otherwise water may drip from the
dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.
