Checking The Water Dispenser Line; Installation Of The Water Dispenser Line - Samsung REFRIGERATOR Owner's Manual And Installation

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20~125 psi(0.138~0.862 Mpa) is required.
In this range, a 6 oz paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a boost-
er pump to compensate for the low pressure.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is filled. Push the water dispenser lever until the
water runs from the outlet.
A Water line installation kit is available at extra cost from your dealer.
Samsung recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.
NOTE

INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

Before You Install the water line
• This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instruc-
tions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water
leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
• To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
• If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the"Ice Type" is set to the ICE OFF position.
• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or
wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
