CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
To reduce risk of water damage to your
property DO NOT use generic brands of
water fi lers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER
FILTERS.
SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any damage,
including, but not limited to property damage caused
by water leakage from the use of a generic water fi lter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY
WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters.
The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is
time to change your water fi lter cartridge. To give you
preparation time to get a new fi lter, the red light will
come on just before the capacity of the current fi lter
runs out. Changing the fi lter on time provides you with
the freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.
To change the water fi lter, follow these steps:
1. Turn the water fi lter 90˚
counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the water fi lter from the
fi lter housing.
3. Insert new water fi lter inside
the fi lter housing.
4. Turn the new water fi lter 90˚
clockwise.
5. Press the “Alarm/hold 3 sec for Filter Reset”
button (
) for about 3 seconds to reset the
water fi lter. The color of indicator changes from red
to light off.
A newly installed water fi lter cartridge may
cause water to briefl y spurt from the water
dispenser. This is due to air getting into the
line. It should pose no problem to operation.
Removing residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing a new fi lter
1. Press the Water button, and then push the
Dispenser Lever with a cup or glass.
2. Flush 1 gallon of water through the fi lter, one
cup or glass at a time. (Flush approximately 6
minutes.) This will clean the water supply system
and remove air from the lines.
- Additional fl ushing may be required in some
households.
3. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water fi lter.
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 fi ltration 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 fi lter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the
fi lter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refi ll after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water fi lter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used
in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water fi lter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualifi ed plumber.
