ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

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

oce 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 aect your refrigerator

temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of

door openings while the power is o.

- Should the power failure last more than

24hours, remove and discard all frozen food.

• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys

should be kept out of the reach of children and

not be kept in the vicinity of the appliance.

• 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.

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low

temperature, such as bananas and melons.

• 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.

• Any increase in the temperature of frozen food

during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

• 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).

- Never block any vents or grilles on the

appliance.

- 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.

- Provide sucient clearance to the right, left,

top for air circulation when installing the

refrigerator.

This will help reduce power consumption and

keep your energy bills lower.

- For the most ecient use of energy, please

keep all inner ﬁttings, such as baskets,

drawers, and shelves, in their original positions.

LEVELING THE

REFRIGERATOR

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, you will not be able

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 level the refrigerator

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower

basket.

2. Remove the leg cover to adjust the leg.

3. Insert a ﬂat-blade screwdriver (-) into the notch

on the left control lever, and turn it counter-

clockwise or clockwise to level the refrigerator.

(You turn the lever clockwise to lower the

refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

CAUTION

To prevent the refrigerator from tipping over and

causing personal injury or property damage, both

control levers must be ﬁrmly touching the ﬂoor.

CAUTION

If the refrigerator is on an uneven ﬂoor, it may tilt.

To prevent this, adjust the legs so they contact

the ﬂoor ﬁrmly.

If the right side is lower, perform the same

procedure, but with the right control lever.

It is dicult to remove the front leg

cover from the refrigerator, so we do not

recommend making small adjustments

with the control lever.

Instead, refer to the next page for the best

way to make minor adjustments to the

doors.

MAKING MINOR

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE

DOORS

A leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the

doors perfectly even.

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 the water 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

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.

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.

Pipe clamp

Shut o valve

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the

CAUTION

The water line must be connected to the cold

water pipe.

If it is connected to the hot water pipe, it may

cause the ﬁlter to malfunction.

Connecting the water supply line to

the refrigerator

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.

Use Copper Tubing Use Plastic Tubing

- If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the

molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B)

into the compression ﬁtting.

CAUTION

Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the

plastic tubing (B).

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 leaks.

If you ﬁnd water drops or leaks in the

connection areas, turn o the main water

supply. Check the connections and, if

necessary, tighten.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the ﬁlter

before drinking or using the water from the

refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.)

To ﬂush, 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.

5. 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 freezer 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 o 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.

• The Samsung Warranty does not cover

WATER LINE INSTALLATION.

• Water line installation is performed for an

additional fee unless the retail price includes

installation cost.

• We strongly recommend that you contact a

plumber or authorized Installer to install the

water line.

• If water leakage occurs due to improper

installation, contact the installer.

Installing a SodaStream 60L CO

2

Carbonator

To use the Sparkling Water feature on your refrigerator, you need to install a SodaStream 60L CO

2

Carbonator.

You can pick up the SodaStream 60L CO

2

Carbonator at retailer near you and your ﬁrst Sodastream

CO

2

Carbonator is free. (For further information, please visit “www.sodastream.com/samsung”)

Purchasing SodaStream 60L CO

2

Carbonators

• Purchase SodaStream 60 L Carbonators at the nearest Sodastream retailer or on line.

Visit www.sodastream.com for more information.

• USE ONLY SODASTREAM 60 L CARBONATORS. SAMSUNG and SODASTREAM are not

legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by gas

leakage from the use of generic carbonators (or CO

2

cylinders). The sparkling water system in your

SAMSUNG refrigerator is designed to work ONLY WITH SODASTREAM 60L CARBONATORS.

• We suggest buying extra Carbonators for later use.

Store extra Carbonators in a cool, open space, well out of the reach of children.

Do not store Carbonators in the refrigerator.

If sparkling water is produced when the internal refrigerator temperature or the temperature of

the SodaStream Carbonator is high, you may hear a “horn sound”.

When you turn on your refrigerator for the ﬁrst time, wait at least two hours before running the

sparkling water production function.

When you purchase a new SodaStream Carbonator, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place until

you are ready to install it (23 ~ 68°F (-5 ~ 20°C)).

If the SodaStream Carbonator is stored in higher temperatures, it may build up extra internal

pressure, which could create a “horn sound” when the refrigerator produces sparkling water.

Water Line Hookup

• Make sure that you have connected the refrigerator to a water line before installing the Carbonator.
