Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This filter is designed for specific Samsung refrigerators, typically models starting with RF23 and RF24 series. Always confirm your refrigerator model number matches the compatibility list for the HAF-QIN filter before purchasing.
Setup:
- Turn off the ice maker (if applicable).
- Locate the filter housing, usually found inside the refrigerator compartment.
- Twist the old filter counter-clockwise to remove it.
- Remove the protective cap from the new filter.
- Insert the new filter and twist it clockwise until it locks into place.
- Turn the ice maker back on.
- Flush the system by dispensing approximately 2-3 gallons of water to remove any air and loose carbon particles. Some water may spurt initially.
Care: The primary care requirement is timely replacement. Samsung recommends replacing the filter every six months or when the refrigerator's filter indicator light illuminates. Failure to replace the filter can lead to reduced water flow, diminished filtration performance, and potential issues with the refrigerator's water system.
