Safety information

• Before using your new Samsung Refrigerator, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure that you know how to operate the features and functions that your new appliance offers safely and efciently.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Safety information
• Because the following instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from the refrigerator described in this manual.
• If you have any question, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or nd help and information online at www.samsung.com.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked ames and move anything ammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
WARNING
• R-600a is used as a refrigerant. This product contains ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable gas-air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 35.3 ft³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
• The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near any electric appliance or heat source, e.g. stove, oven or hob, radiator, etc.
• If you use two products side by side, for safety reason, be sure to use certied products in explosive gas atmospheres.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose it to the heat from stoves,
Safety information
room heaters, or other appliances.
• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The refrigerator 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 either end.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy objects on it.
• Do not pull or excessively bend the power cord.
• Do not twist or tie the power cord.
• Do not hook the power cord over a metal object, place a heavy object on the power cord, insert the power cord between objects, or push the power cord into the space behind the appliance.
• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
- This may result in an electric shock or re.
• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, re, and/or electric shock.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a ammable propellant in this appliance.
• Do not install this appliance near a heater or ammable material.
• Do not install this appliance in a location where gas may leak.
- This may result in an electric shock or re.
• This refrigerator must be properly located and installed in accordance with the instructions in this manual before you use it.
• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the cord hanging down.
- If you connect the power plug upside down, the wire can get cut off and cause a re or electric shock.
English6
Untitled-10 6 2018-07-05  6:50:48
• Make sure that the power plug is not crushed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.
• Keep the packing materials out of reach of children.
- There is a risk of death from suffocation if a child puts the packing materials on his or her head.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installation.
- Failing to do so may result in an electric shock or re due to electric leakage.
• Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily or dusty location, or in a location exposed to direct sunlight or to water (rain drops).
- Deteriorated insulation on electrical parts may cause an electric shock or re.
• If large amounts of dust or water enter the refrigerator, disconnect the power plug and contact a Samsung Electronics service center.
- Otherwise there is a risk of re.
• Do not stand on top of the appliance or place objects (such as laundry, lighted candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, metal objects, etc.) on the appliance.
- This may result in an electric shock, re, problems with the product, or injury.
• You need to remove all the protective plastic lm before you initially plug the product in.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the snap rings used for door adjustment or the water tube clips.
- There is risk of death by suffocation if a child swallows a snap ring or water tube clip. Keep the snap rings and water tube clips out of children's reach.
• The refrigerator must be safely grounded.
- Always make sure that you have grounded the refrigerator before attempting to investigate or repair any part of the appliance. Power leakages can cause severe electric shock.
• Never use gas pipes, telephone lines, or other potential lightning attractors as an electrical ground.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or electric shocks 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 A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

• To protect the oor, put a large piece of cardboard along the path to the refrigerator's nal installation location.
• Once the refrigerator is in its nal position, do not move it unless necessary to protect the oor. If you have to move the refrigerator, place thick paper or cloth such as old carpets along the path of movement.

STEP 5 Levelling the refrigerator
CAUTION
• The refrigerator must be levelled on a at, solid oor. Failing to do so can cause damage to the refrigerator or physical injury.
• Levelling must be performed with the refrigerator empty. Make sure no food items are 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 refrigerator. Turn it counterclockwise to lower. Repeat on the other side.

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
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We
• 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

WARNING
of obstruction. Connect to potable water supply only.
1. Shut off the main water source.
2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the
shutoff valve (C) into the cold water line (A).
3. Connect the water line installation kit (A) to the shutoff valve (B).
