Engl sh- 7

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.

• 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 inthe 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 sufficient 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 efficient use of energy, please

keep all inner fittings, such as baskets,
drawers, and shelves, in their original positions.

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 1A" compression nut,

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.
Fillthe 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 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.

• 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.

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.
Ifyou find water drops or leaks in the

connection areas, turn off the main water
supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.

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 CO2
Carbonator.

You can pick up the SodaStream 60 L 002 Carbonator at retailer near you and your first Sodastream
CO2 Carbonator is free. (For further information, please visit "www.sodastream.com/samsung')

Purchasing SodaStream 60 L CO2 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 2cylinders). 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.

Ifsparkling 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 °O)).

Ifthe 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.

Engl sh - 19

Insta,ing a SodaStream Carbonator in the Refrigerator

To install a new SodaStream 60 L Carbonator in the refrigerator, follow these steps:

2. Attach the SedaStream 60 L Carbonator to the Regulator, and then rotate it clockwise.
® You must use a Sedastream _MCO2cylinder (60 L).

® Replacement SedaStream cylinders are available for easy exchange or refill at local

SedaStream retailers.

® lo return used Carbonators in the USA and Canada, wrap the used cylinder, and then give

it to the person who delivers new Carbonators.
In Australia and New Zealand, return empty Carbenaters to the service or information
counter at your local retailer for exchange/refill.

All costs associated with the refill or exchange of SodaStream Carbenators are the

responsibility of the refrigerator owner.

(_ The thread on the connector of the SodaStream Carbenaters differs by country.

3. Push the SedaStream 60 L Carbenater into the Support.

4. Lock the SedaStream 60 L Carbonater into place by pressing the lever.
® The inner pressure of the Carbonator may make it difficult to press the lever down.

Hold the lever as shown in the illustration on the right, and then push down.

® If you don't lock the Carbonator into place, the refrigerator won't produce sparkling water.
® If the Carbonator is not tightly connected to the Regulator, it will leak CO2 gas, producing

a hiss.
If this occurs, repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4, making sure that the Carbonator is firmly attached

and locked into place.

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).

Ifa 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).

Ifthe 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.

Ifyou have questions about your water pressure,

call a licensed, qualified plumber.

4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure
there are no water leaks coming from the
water filter.
