1.  Take a new water fi lter and put a month indicator sticker on the fi lter as shown.
      The date on the sticker must be six months from the current date. For example, if you are replacing 

the water fi lter in March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the fi lter to remind you to replace in 

September. Normal fi lter life is about every 6 months.

2.  Remove the new fi lter’s protective cap and remove the old fi lter.

3.  Position and insert the new fi lter into the fi lter housing.
      Slowly turn the water fi lter clockwise to align with the printing mark on the cover, locking the fi lter 

in position. Make sure to align the water fi lter label mark with the center of cover fi lter printing as 

illustrated. Remember, do not over-tighten.

4.   Once you have completed this process, press and hold the Alram button for 3 seconds to reset the 

fi lter schedule.

ordering Replacement water Filter

For replacement water fi lter you can visit your local service center or contact the Samsung Parts 

distributor.

Be sure the replacement water fi lter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water fi lter.

5.   Lastly,Flush 3 gallons through fi lter before use (fl ush approximately 6 minutes) Make sure that water 

fl ows clearly again before drinking.

Be sure to fl ush 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 fi lter cartridge because the water line may become 
blocked.

Turn until the 

label aligned.

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.
