•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or those who lack experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•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 find 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 flames and move anything flammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

WARNING

•R-600a is used as a refrigerant. This product contains flammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.

•In order to avoid the creation of a flammable 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 certified products in explosive gas atmospheres.

•Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

STEP  6  Connect 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 20-125 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 filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water outlet.

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

recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 1/4" (6 mm) compression nut.

• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
