should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading of house wiring
circuits, which could overheat the wires and cause a re hazard.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock of re.
• Do not use a power cord that has cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at

caused by current leakage from the refrigerator.
- Current leakage may result in an electric shock, re, explosion, or problems with the
product.
- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 V, 10

inside the refrigerator.
• Also, open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket.
• For safety reasons, adjust the refrigerator so that the front is a little higher than the
rear.
Level the refrigerator using the special screws (levellers) on the front legs. Use a at-head
screwdriver to turn the levellers.
Installation
• To adjust the height on one side: Insert
a at-head screwdriver into a notch in
the leveller on that side. (left or right)
Turn the leveller clockwise to raise the

STEP 7 Connect the water dispenser line
A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water 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.
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly,
water pressure of 20-125 psi 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 lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs
from the water outlet.
Installation

CAUTION
Before installing the refrigerator, make
sure to remove the Cover Interlock (1)
from the top of the fridge door. Otherwise,
injuries may be caused by the ice crushing
blade.
1. Plug the power cord into the wall socket to turn the refrigerator on.
2. Open the door, and check if the interior light lights up.
3. Set the temperature to the coldest setting, and wait for about an hour. Then, the
freezer will be slightly chilled, and the motor should be running smoothly.
4. Wait until the refrigerator reaches the set temperature. Now the refrigerator is ready
for use.
STEP 9 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The refrigerator is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The refrigerator is installed on a at, level surface with a reasonable clearance from
walls and cabinets.
• The refrigerator is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The door opens and closes freely, and the interior light turns on automatically when
you open the door.

Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4
to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
English50
Untitled-10 50 2018-07-05 6:50:58
Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.
1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when
you press the button.
2. You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.
CAUTION
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may
overow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker,
especially when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain
a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working
properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell
with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can
cause physical injury or property damage.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at
the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.
Operations
If You Turn the Ice Maker Off
If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make
sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together,
making it difcult to remove them.
To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket section on page 53.
NOTE
• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of
the refrigerator.
Water clouding
Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering
process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with
oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when
dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

6. When you are done replacing the lter,
open the water valve and run water
through the dispenser for about 7
minutes. This is to remove impurities
and air from the water line.
NOTE
• A newly installed lter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briey. This is
because air has entered the waterline.
• The replacement process may cause the water dispenser to drip for a short period of
time. If it drips, simply wipe up any water on the oor with a dry towel.
Reverse osmosis water ltration system
The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water ltration
system must be between 35 psi and 120 psi (241 kPa and 827 kPa).
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water ltration system to the refrigerator’s
cold water line must be at least 40 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure is below these
specications:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter
if necessary.
• Rell the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when
used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter.
