CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water lters 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 use of a generic water lter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG
WATER Filter.
The “Filter Indicator” 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 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 every 6
months.
2. Remove the new filter’s protective cap and remove the old filter.
3. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.
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 mark with the center of cover filter printing as illustrated. Remember, do
not over-tighten.
4. Once you have completed this process, press and hold the Alram button for 3 seconds to reset the
filter schedule.
Ordering Replacement Water Filter
For replacement water filter you can visit your local service 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.

5. Lastly, Flush 3 gallons through filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes) Make sure that water
flows clearly 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.
Turn until the
label aligned.
