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. 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( 1 ) 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 6
months.
2. Remove the new filter’s protective cap( 2 ) and remove the old filter.
3. Position and insert the new filter into the cover filter. 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( 3 ) mark with
the center of cover filter printing as illustrated. Remember, do not over-tighten.
4. After above steps, press and hold the Alarm / Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button for 3 seconds to reset the 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.
ordering a Replacement water Filter
For a replacement water filter, you can visit your local home improvement 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.
