period of time below the cold end of the range of

temperature for which the refrigerating appliance

is designed.

• Do not store food which spoils easily at low

temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is

no need to manually defrost your appliance, as

this will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting can comply

with ISO requirements. But if you want to prevent

an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen

food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap

CHECKING 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 ﬁ lter 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.

In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a

water pressure of 20~125 psi (pound per square

inch) is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc

(5.75 oz.) paper cup can be ﬁ lled in 10 seconds.

If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low

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

booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

Make sure the water storage tank inside the

Refrigerator is properly ﬁ lled. To do this, press the

water dispenser lever until the water runs from the

water outlet.

Water line installation kits are available at extra

cost from your dealer. We recommend using a

water supply kit that contains copper tubing.

The new hose-sets supplied with the

appliance are to be used and that old hose-

sets should not be reused.

When the Freezer part is lower than

the Fridge part.

Insert a ﬂ at-blade screwdriver into a slot on the

Freezer Cabinet Leg, then turn it clockwise.

When the Fridge part is lower than

the Freezer part.

Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a slot on the

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS

TO THE DOORS

Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for

getting the doors perfectly even. If you need

help, review the previous section on levelling the

refrigerator.

out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or

water.

After you dump the ice from the ice bucket,

you should press the dispenser lever once

with the ‘ICE CUBED’ or ‘CRUSHED’ function

ON.

The ice maker will make new ice faster after you

return the ice bucket to the refrigerator.

• Do not put your fingers, hands or any

other unsuitable objects in the chute or

ice-maker bucket. It may result in personal

injury or material damage.

• Use only the ice maker provided with the

refrigerator.

• The water supply to this refrigerator must be

installed/connected by a suitably qualified person

and connect to a potable water supply only.

•

For the the ice maker to operate properly, the water

pressure must be between 20 and 125 psi.

- The temperature of the Freezer or Fridge

may rise when you open the doors too

frequently, or if a large amount of warm or

hot food is placed inside.

- This may cause the digital display to blink. Once

the Freezer and Fridge temperatures return to

their normal set temperatures, the blinking will

stop.

- If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset”

the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance,

wait for around 10 minutes, and then plug the

power cord back in.

- If there is a communication error between the

Display and Main Controller, the Convertible

Display light may blink. If the blinking continues

Thaw

When “Thaw” is selected, cool air is alternately

blown into the CoolSelect Zone Drawer. Depending

on the weight of the frozen food, you can select a 5

hrs, 10 hrs thawing time.

When “Thaw” ends, food is in a half-frozen state,

making it easy to cut for cooking. In addition,

when “Thaw” ends, the CoolSelect Zone Drawer

returns to the original “Cool” condition. To cancel

this function mid cycle, just press CoolSelect Zone

button and select other function.

Quick Cool

You can use the “Quick Cool” operation with the

CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer to quickly cool 1~3

Drawer automatically returns to the previously set

temperature.

To cancel this operation, press the “Quick Cool”

button again and the CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer

returns to the previously set temperature.

Cool

When “Cool” is selected, the temperature in the

CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer will be the same as the

overall temperature setting of the refrigerator. The

drawer digital panel shows the same temperature

as that of the refrigerator display panel. Since the

“Cool” function mimics the refrigerator temperature,

you have extra general storage space.

Depending on the size and thickness of the

meat or ﬁ sh, thawing times may vary.

When “Thaw” is in operation, any items that

you do not want affected should be moved

out of the drawer.

• If you have a

long vacation

or business trip

and won’t use

the water or ice

dispensers, close

the water valve.

- Otherwise, water

leakage may occur.

• When you have not

used the Ice maker for

a while, or you have opened the Freezer door

frequently, the Ice may stick together. If this has

occurred, empty the ice bucket or break up the

ice with a wood kitchen tool. Do not use sharp

items such as knives or forks.

• When the bucket is removed, there may still

be some residual ice in the ice maker that the

icemaker can release.

•

If ice does not

dispense, pull

out the icemaker

cover and press

test button located

on the ice maker.

•

Do not press the test

button continuously when

the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow

or the ice may jam the icemaker or dispenser.

Remove the Icemaker Bucket

by lifting up and pulling it out

slowly.

• Grip the handle as shown

in the figure.

• Lift the low part slightly.

• Take the ice bucket out

slowly.

Do not use excessive force when removing

the drawer cover.

You can break the cover and cause injury.

Before removing any accessories, make sure

that no food is in the way.

When possible, remove the food altogether to

reduce the risk of accidents.

Do not insert a plastic bottle that is not

suitable for the standard into the guard which

is at the bottom of the freezer door. It causes

for the freezer door not to be closed.

CHANGING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS

Do not disassemble or replace the LED type

Lighting.

To change the LED Type Lighting, contact a

Samsung service center.

TO IMPROVE THE COOLING

PERFORMANCE

If the cold air

outlet is blocked

by food items, the

cold air cannot

penetrate the entire

compartment and

will be unable

to freeze the

food efﬁ ciently

which results in

a degraded cooling

performance.

In particular, there is load

limit at the top of the

freezing compartment.

Please do not put food

items above this limit.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™, or

car detergent to clean the Refrigerator.

They may damage the surface of the

appliance and can create a risk of ﬁ re.

Do not spray the refrigerator with water while

it is plugged in, as it may cause an electric

shock.

REMOVING THE FREEZER/

FRIDGE ACCESSORIES

Cleaning and rearranging the interior of the freezer

is a snap.

1. Shelves (Freezer/Fridge)

5. Press the “Ice Off / Hold 3 Sec for Filter

Reset” button for about 3 seconds to reset the

water filter. The color of indicator changes from

red to light off.

A newly installed water ﬁ lter cartridge may

cause water to brieﬂ y spurt from the water

dispenser. This is due to air getting into the

line. It should pose no problem to operation.

Removing residual matter inside the

water supply line after installing a

new ﬁ lter

1. Press the Water button, and then push the

Dispenser Lever with a cup or glass.

2. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter, one

cup or glass at a time. (Flush approximately 6

minutes.) This will clean the water supply system

and remove air from the lines.

- Additional flushing may be required in some

households.

3. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there

are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT : The pressure of the water supply

coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to

the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be

between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water ﬁ ltration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be

a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.)

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system

is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the

reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the

filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis

system to refill after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may

further reduce the water pressure when used

in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.

Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call

a licensed, qualiﬁ ed plumber.

Ordering replacement ﬁ lters

To order more water ﬁ lter cartridges, contact your

authorized Samsung dealer.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your

property DO NOT use generic brands of

water ﬁ lers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER

FILTERS.

SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any

damage, including, but not limited to property

damage caused by water leakage from the use of a

generic water ﬁ lter.

SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work

ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters.

If you want to purchase any accessories, please

contact with Samsung service center.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is

time to change your water ﬁ lter cartridge. To give

you 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.

To change the water ﬁ lter, follow these steps:

1. Turn the water filter 90˚

counter-clockwise.

2. Pull the water filter from

the filter housing.

3. Insert new water filter

inside the filter housing.

4. Turn the new water filter

90˚ clockwise.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator does

not work at all or it does

not chill sufficiently.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from

circulating?

The food in the fridge is

frozen.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?

You hear unusual noises

or sounds.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from

circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs

because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the

temperature of the refrigerator interior.

The front corners of

the appliance are hot

and condensation is

occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the

refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door

open for a long time.

Ice is not dispensing.

• Did you wait at least 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before

making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure Ice Type is set to

Cubed or Crushed.

• Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

You can hear water

bubbling in the

refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating

through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in

the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is

airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.

Frost forms on the walls

of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?

Water dispenser is not

functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing

is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low? Try

selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
