ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER

DRAWER

To reattach the drawer after you have moved the

fridge to its ﬁnal location, assemble the parts in

reverse order.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can

make ﬁnal adjustments. Use a level to test if the

refrigerator is level both side to side and back to

front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be

possible to get the doors perfectly even, which

may cause moisture condensation and increased

energy bills. Below is an example of how to level

the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is

lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower

basket.

2. Insert a ﬂat-blade screwdriver (-) into the

notch on the left control lever, and then turn

it counter-clockwise to level the refrigerator.

(You turn the lever clockwise to lower the

refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

ﬂat-blade screwdriver (-) Control Lever

Both control levers must be touching the

02 SETTING UP

INSTALLING THE WATER

DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser with a ﬁlter is one of the helpful

features on your new refrigerator. To help promote

better health, the 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 20~125psi (138~862 kPa) is required.

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.

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 the water runs from the water

outlet.

• Water line installation kits are available at

extra cost from your dealer.

We recommend using a water line

installation kit that contains copper

tubing and a ¼” compression nut.

• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the

appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

Keep ventilation openings, in the

appliance enclosure or in the built-in

structure, clear of obstruction. Connect

to potable water supply only.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut o the main water

supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and

install the pipe clamp and shut o valve.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your

property DO NOT use generic brands

of water ﬁlters in your SAMSUNG

Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS.

SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any

damage, including, but not limited to property

damage caused by water leakage from the use of

a generic water ﬁlter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are

designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water

Filter.

The Filter light turns red to let you

know when it is time to change

your water ﬁlter cartridge.

To give you time to get a new ﬁlter,

the red light comes on just before

the capacity of the current ﬁlter

runs out.

(Red)

Changing the ﬁlter on time provides you with the

freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.

1. Shut o the water supply. Then, turn the water

ﬁlter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.

2. Pull the water ﬁlter ( 1 ) from the case ﬁlter ( 2 ).

2

1

• To change the water ﬁlter more easily,

shut o the water supply valve.

• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water

ﬁlter because impurities in the water cause it

to stick. If you are having diculties, grip the

water ﬁlter ﬁrmly and pull it hard.

• When you pull the

water ﬁlter, a little

water can leak from

the opening. This is

normal.

3

2

To minimize the water leaks, keep the ﬁlter

cartridge horizontal when you pull it.

• To prevent overﬂow, empty the water ﬁlter tray

( 3 ) and dry around the ﬁlter case ( 2 ).

3. Insert the new ﬁlter into the ﬁlter case ( 4 ).

4. Push the ﬁlter, and then turn it clockwise until

it locks.

• If you have trouble inserting the water

ﬁlter because of high water pressure,

shut o the water supply valve.

• The locked symbol should be lined up with the

indicator line.

WARNING

4

5. After removing the

old water ﬁlter and

installing a new reset

the indicator by

pressing the “Fridge”

and “Power Cool”

button simultaneously

for about 3 seconds.

6. If you turned o the water supply, turn it back on.

• For a replacement water ﬁlter, you can

visit your local home Improvement

center or contact the Samsung Parts

distributor.

• Be sure the replacement water ﬁlter has the

SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water

ﬁlter. Link : http://www. samsungparts.com

Removing any residual matter inside

the water supply line after installing

the water ﬁlter.

1. Turn ON the main

water supply and

supply water to the

refrigerator.

2. Run 1 Gal of water through the dispenser until

the water runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes).

This will clean the water supply system and

remove air from the lines.

3. If after pour 1 Gal the water doesn’t turn

clear is possible an additional ﬂushing in the

household lines.

4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure

there are no water leaks coming from the

water ﬁlter.

• Be sure to ﬂush the dispenser system

thoroughly, otherwise water may drip

from the dispenser.

• This means that there is still air in the line.

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 ﬁltration 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, qualiﬁed plumber.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and

Refrigerator Compartments

The basic temperature and recommended

temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator

Compartments are 0°F and 37°F(or -18°C and

3°C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer

and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or

low, adjust the temperature manually.

CONTROLLING THE

TEMPERATURE

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between

5°F(-15°C) and -8°F(-23°C) to suit your

particular needs. Press the Freezer button

repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown

in the temperature display. Keep in mind that

foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F(-15°C).

The temperature display will move sequentially

from -8°F(-23°C) to 5°F(-15°C). When the display

reaches 5°F, it will begin again at -8°F(-23°C).

Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the

display will again show the actual current freezer

temperature until the new temperature is reached.

Controlling the Refrigerator

temperature

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between

44°F(7°C) and 34°F(1°C) to suit your particular

needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the

desired temperature is shown in the temperature

display.

The temperature control process for the Fridge

works just like the Freezer process.

Press the Fridge button to set your desired

temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge

will begin adjusting towards the newly set

temperature. This will be reﬂ ected in the digital

display.

• The temperature of the Freezer or the

Refrigerator may rise from opening

the doors too frequently, or if a large

amount

of warm or hot food is placed in

either side.

• This may cause the digital display to blink.

Once the Freezer and Refrigerator temperature

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.

USING THE COLD WATER

DISPENSER

Using the Water dispenser

(RF261B, RF26H)

Place a glass underneath

the water outlet and push

gently against the water

dispenser lever with your

glass. Make sure the

glass is in line with the

dispenser to prevent the

water from splashing out.

PUSH

If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed

a new water ﬁ ter, Flush 3 gallons through ﬁlter

before use (ﬂush approximately 6 minutes).

Make sure water ﬂows cleanly before drinking.

If you have a long vacation or business

trip, close the water valve and shut o

the water supply to the Refrigerator.

This will help prevent accidental leakages.

• Water clouding phenomenon

• All water provided to refrigerators ﬂows

through the core ﬁlter which is an

alkaline water ﬁlter. In this process, the

pressure in the water that has ﬂowed

out of the ﬁlter gets increased, and

oxygen and nitrogen become saturated.

When this water ﬂows out in the air, the

pressure plummets and the oxygen and

nitrogen get supersaturated so that they

turn into gas bubbles. The water could

look misty due to these oxygen bubbles.

The water may look temporarily cloudy

due to these oxygen bubbles. After a

few seconds, the water will look clear.

• The water tank’s capacity is

approximately one third (1/3) of a gallon.

Please wait 1 second before removing

the cup after dispensing water to

prevent spills.
