A replacement for the following water filters:
Samsung® filters
DA97-17376B, DA97-08006C, HAF-QIN, HAF-QIN/EXP
Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 in model EFF-6045S for the
reduction of the claims specified on the Performance Data Sheet, and to NSF/ANSI 372 (≤0.25% lead).
Installation instructions
Before installation:
• Shut off the cold-water supply to the refrigerator before installation. Turn on the refrigerator water dispenser to release water pressure, letting water
drain from the pipe completely.
• It is normal for black carbon fines (particles) to appear on the outside of your filter. This happens when the filter is jarred in shipping. It is safe to
simply wipe it off.
• The filter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to twist the filter hard to make sure the connection is secure.
1. Shut off the water supply to refrigerator.
2. Open the filter cover and turn the knob of the filter cartridge
counter-clockwise by 90 degrees to unlock the old filter. Then pull it out.
3. Insert the new filter cartridge and turn it clockwise to lock into place.
4. Press and hold Filter Reset on the main panel for 3 seconds to reset
the filter life.
5. Open the water valve and run water through the dispenser for about 5
minutes (about 2.5 gallons) to remove any trapped air and clear the system.
Resetting your filter indicator:
Note: These are the most common filter reset instructions. If the instructions don't work for your refrigerator brand, see the documentation that came
with your refrigerator.
Refrigerator brand
Press and hold the ICE TYPE and CHILD LOCK buttons for three seconds. The water filter
indicator should turn green.
Samsung® systems
Note: Only hold these buttons for three seconds. Holding these buttons for five
seconds cancels the reset. If you cancel the reset, repeat the procedure.
Storage and maintenance:
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 316 gallons to prevent bacteria and fungus growth in your filter, supply lines, and storage tank.
- Keep your unused filters in a cool, dark, and dry place until you need them.
- If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: Why is it difficult to twist the new filter into the filter housing?
A: The connector may expand because of water pressure. Therefore, it is recommended you push the new filter in with a little bit of force, but not too
hard. Then turn it clockwise.
Q: Do I need to flush the filter after installation?
A: After installation, it is highly recommended you run water for a few minutes before using. Water filters are made from advanced coconut carbon
block, so there are some carbon fines in the filter. Flushing removes the carbon fines to produce clean water.
Q: Must the filter be changed every 6 months?
A: Yes, you must replace the filter every six months or sooner if water flow is reduced or if there is heavy sediment / rust present. Over-used filters will
degrade the filtration performance.
