DISPENSER LINE A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new Samsung Refrigerator. To help promote better health, the Samsung water fi lter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is required. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water dispenser. Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing. The Samsung refrigerator warranty does not cover water line installation. We strongly recommend you have a plumber or authorized installer install the water line. Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply line and

make sure the ice maker is turned off. The refrigerator should NOT be plugged in at this point.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking water

3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

WARNING 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. How to Change the Water Filter 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:

fi lter 90˚ counter- clockwise.

fi lter from the fi lter housing.

3. Insert the new water

fi lter inside the fi lter housing.

4. Turn the new water

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. Ordering replacement fi lters To order more water fi lter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer.

• Check if the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source? If so, it may not be able to cool suffi ciently. Install it in a location that is out of direct sunlight and not near a heat source.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? If so, the refrigerator may not be able to cool suffi ciently. Keep the wall at least two inches from the back and sides of the refrigerator.

• Is there too much food inside so that the food is blocking the outlet vent? To keep the refrigerator at a suitable temperature, do not fi ll the refrigerator with too much food. The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge? Move the food to another part of the fridge. You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, keeping air from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• If you hear a “ticking” sound from inside the refrigerator, this is normal. It occurs because various parts contract or expand in response to temperature changes in the refrigerator interior. The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• Water condensation in a drawer may occur if the drawer contains vegetables. The condensation will dissipate naturally as time passes. Ice is not dispensing.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after the installation of the refrigerator and water supply line before making ice? The refrigerator can take longer to make ice if it is not suffi ciently cool, such as during the fi rst 12 hours after it was installed.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure the Ice Maker is on and Ice Type is set to Cubed or Crushed.

• Are there any ice clumps in the ice maker bucket? Remove them.

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower. You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator. DA68-03178A-03.indb 34DA68-03178A-03.indb 34 2015. 1. 26. 11:582015. 1. 26. 11:58English - 35 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so that it is airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled food. When cleaning the inside of the fridge, store food elsewhere and unplug the appliance. Wipe with a dry dishcloth after 2-3 hours and then circulate air inside the refrigerator. Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow suffi cient space between the stored food for effi cient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly? If the freezer drawer is not completely closed or is blocked, humidity from outside may enter and cause severe frost to form. The water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.

• Check if the fi lter is properly installed. If it is not properly installed, the water dispenser may not work. The freezer door is not closing properly.

• Push the water lever dispenser and confi rm that it dispenses water.

• Push the ice lever dispenser and confi rm that the auger motor is operating.

• Remove objects on the shelves that might obstruct drive auger or the door. Precautions : If you have not dispensed water or ice for an extended time, ice clumps can accumulate in the ice bucket and interfere with the drive auger, preventing the ice dispenser from dispensing ice. Remove the remaining ice from the ice bucket to ensure the auger is not being blocked by ice clumps, and then operate the ice and water dispensers more frequently. This will improve the auto-closing function of the freezer door. DA68-03178A-03.indb 35DA68-03178A-03.indb 35 2015. 1. 26. 11:582015. 1. 26. 11:58Warranty (USA)
