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 use of a generic water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are
designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG WATER Filter.
The Filter light ( ) lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. When the
filter indicator lights up red, it is time to change the filter. Changing the filter on time provides you
with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator. Typically, you need to change the filter
about every 6 months.
• The Filter Indicator will be Blue when you purchase the new refrigerator.
• The Filter Indicator will be Pink after the filter has filtered 270 gallons of water or 5 months.
• The Filter Indicator will be Red after the filter has filtered 300 gallons of water or 6 months.
Depending on the condition of your water and region, the amount of time a filter lasts can vary.
In some areas, you may need to change the fileter every two months.
How to change the water filter
1. 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 can cause it to stick. If this occurs, grip the
water filter firmly and pull it hard.
- When you pull the water filter, a little of water can leak from the
filter or opening. This is normal. To minimize water leaks, keep the
filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
- To prevent overflow, empty the water filter tray and dry around the case filter ( 2 ).
3. Insert the new filter into the case filter ( 4 ).
4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it locks.
