ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local

ofﬁce of your Electricity Company and ask how

long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected in an

hour or two will not affect your refrigerator

temperatures. However, you should minimize

the number of door openings while the power

is off.

- Should the power failure last more than 24

hours, remove and discard all frozen food.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures

can become too warm in the frozen food

compartment) when sited for an extended

period of time in a location where ambient

air temperatures are constantly below the

temperatures for which the appliance is

designed.

• In case of particular foods, keeping it under

refrigeration can have a bad effect on

preservation due to its properties.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there

is no need to manually defrost your appliance.

This will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting complies

with ISO requirements.

But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the

temperature of frozen food while the appliance

defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers

of newspaper.

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed

completely.

Saving Energy Tips

- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with

adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight

and never put it near a direct source of heat (a

radiator, for example).

- Not to block any vents and grilles is

recommended for energy efﬁciency.

- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it

in the appliance.

- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low temperatures of the

frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.

- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for

too long when putting food in or taking food

out.

The shorter the time the door is open, the less

frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.

- It is recommended to install the refrigerator

with clearance to the back and sides. This will

help reduce power consumption and keep your

energy bills lower.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR

HEIGHT

If one refrigerator door is lower than the

other:

• The door height levels can be adjusted using

the adjustment nut located at the bottom of

refrigerator door.

• Raising the door too high can cause the door to

interfere with the hinge cover when it is opened

or closed.

(A)

(B)

Before adjusting the doors, remove the

front leg cover.

Open both the freezer and refrigerator doors.

Unscrew the three screws holding the front leg

cover in place by turning them counter-clockwise.

When the screws are loose, remove the front leg

cover.

Adjusting the level when the refrigerator

is empty can result in the refrigerator

becoming uneven again once items have

been placed inside.

If this occurs, adjust the level again.

WHEN THE FREEZER DOOR IS

LOWER THAN FRIDGE DOOR

A level refrigerator is necessary for getting the

doors perfectly even.

Make sure your refrigerator is level before you

begin.

If you need help leveling, review the previous

section on leveling the refrigerator.

The process for adjusting each door is the same.

Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as

follows:

1. Unscrew the nut (1) from the lower hinge until

it reaches the upper end of the bolt (2).

(2) Bolt

(1) Nut

(3) Wrench

When you release the nut (1), make sure

that you use the hex wrench provided

(3) to loosen the bolt (2) in a counter-

clockwise ( ) direction.

INSTALLING THE WATER

DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on

your new Samsung Refrigerator.

To help promote better health, the Samsung water

ﬁlter removes unwanted particles from your water.

However, it does not sterilize or destroy

microorganisms.

You may need to purchase a water purifying

system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker.

For the ice maker to operate properly, water

pressure of 20 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is

required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low

water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a

booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, make

sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator

is properly ﬁlled.

To do this, press the water dispenser lever until

water runs from the water dispenser.

Water line installation kits are available at

extra cost from your dealer.

We recommend using a water supply kit

that contains copper tubing.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply line and

make sure the ice maker is turned off.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking water

line.

3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

4. Connect the water line installation kit to the

shut off valve.

There are several items that you need to purchase

to complete this connection.

You may ﬁnd these items sold as a kit at your local

hardware store.

SETTING UP

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the

compression ﬁtting.

Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leaks

inside the refrigerator, around the water ﬁlter,

and in any connection areas.

If you ﬁnd water drops or leaks, turn off the

main water supply.

If the leaks are in the connection areas, check

the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check

the water ﬁlter and conﬁrm it is in the locked

position.

Turn on the water supply and check for leaks

again.

4. Plug in the refrigerator.

5. Flush 3 gallons of water through the ﬁlter before

drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.

(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)

This will clean the water supply system and

remove air from the lines.

To ﬂush, press the Water button, and then press

a large glass or cup against the water dispenser

lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink

after it is ﬁlled, and then repeat.

Additional ﬂushing may be required in

some households.

6. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there

are no water leaks coming from the water ﬁlter.

• After you turn on the refrigerator, let the

ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days.

Over that period of time, throw out the

ﬁrst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker

makes to ensure all impurities have been

removed from the water line.

• Only connect the water line to a drinkable water

source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water

line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make

sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

• You can test the water line quickly using a

paper cup.

Under normal conditions, the water dispenser

can ﬁll a 5.75oz. (170cc) cup in about 10

seconds.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed

in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the

features and functions of the appliance.

By completing the following steps, your refrigerator

should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate

location with reasonable clearance between it

and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in

this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure

the interior light comes on when you open the

doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest

temperature and wait for an hour.

The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor

will run smoothly.

Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the

temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will

take a few hours to reach the appropriate

temperature.

You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator

after the temperature is sufﬁciently cool.

If condensation or water drops appear

on both sides of the fridge door’s central

part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after

removing the condensation.

(See the explanation of the Energy Saver

button in “Control panel functions” on

page 20.)
