CHECKing tHE watEr DisPEnsEr LinE (oPtionaL)  
A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features on your new Samsung refrigerator. To help promote better  
health, the Samsung water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize  
or destroy microorganisms. You will need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the  
icemaker to operate properly, water pressure of 138 ~862 Kpa is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc  
paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below  
138 Kpa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. Make sure the water storage  
tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from  
the water outlet.  
Water Line installation Kits are included with unit. You can find it in freezer drawer.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing  
filter.  
1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the  
water supply line.  
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear  
(approx. 1L). 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.  
A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to  
briefly spurt from the water dispenser. This is due to air getting  
into the line. It should pose no problem to operation.  
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray. (Optional)  
1. Lift up the icemaker bucket and gently pull out of the freezer.  
2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds, the ice cube container is filled with water from the  
water supply tap after ice tray is twisted. Check to make sure the amount of water is correct(see  
the illustration below).  
If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small. This is a water pressure problem from  
with in the main water pipes, not the refrigerator.

CLEaning tHE rEfrigErator  
Caring for your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it odor  
and germ-free.  
Cleaning the Interior  
Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and  
then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and  
shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just make sure to dry them  
before putting them back into place.  
Cleaning the Exterior  
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.  
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly  
on the surface of the refrigerator. This helps ensure an even  
distribution of moisture to the surface. The doors, handles and  
cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and  
then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking  
its best, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.  
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™ for cleaning.  
They may damage the surface of the appliance and can create a risk of fire.  
WARNING  
Cleaning the Soft touch type Home Bar  
Use a damp cloth to clean the ice and water dispenser.  
Then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

- In the case of opening the Home Bar, it will be opened  
automatically when you push the upper position of Home Bar  
until rattling.  
- In the case of closing the Home Bar, push the upper position  
of Home Bar until rattling.  
Cleaning the Rubber door seals  
If the rubber door seals are dirty the doors may not close  
properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the  
door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the doors with a mild  
detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.  
Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged  
in, as it may cause an electric

hours in a well-ventilated area. For best results, repeat this process once or twice a year.  
Cartridge  
If the cartridge dries in a confined (or humid) area, there may be an odor to the cartridge. If this  
occurs, re-clean and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you  
some time to get a new filter, the light will come on up 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. Remove the water filter from the box and put a month indicator sticker on the filter as shown.  
2. Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months in the future. 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. Normally filter life is about every 6 months.  
3. Next, remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.  
4. Remove the new filter’s protective cap and remove the old filter.  
5. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.  
Slowly turn the water filter clockwise 90º to align with the indication mark on the cover, locking the  
filter in position. Make sure that the indicator is lined up with the “lock” position. Do not over tighten.
