NOTE
•For energy efficiency, keep all shelves, drawers, and baskets in their original positions.
•When closing the door, make sure the vertical hinged section is in the correct position to avoid scratching the other door.
•If the vertical hinged section is reversed, put it back into the correct position, and then close the door.
•Moisture may form at times on the vertical hinged section.
•If you close a door forcefully, the other door may open.
•When a door is opened, the interlock switch automatically disables the auger motor of the ice maker for safety reasons.
•If the internal or external LED lamp is out of order, contact a local Samsung service center.
•If the door is left open for too long, the top internal LED will blink. This is normal.
Door bins (applicable models only)
Your refrigerator ships with door bins of different types and sizes. If the door bins for your refrigerator were packaged separately, use the figure below to help you position the bins properly.

Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 Select a site
Select a site that:
•Has a solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
•Is away from direct sunlight
•Has adequate room for opening and closing the door
•Is away from any heat sources
•Provides room for maintenance and servicing
•Has a temperature range between 50 °F (10 °C) and 109 °F (43 °C)
CAUTION
•If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, provide extra space at the rear of the refrigerator for the water line connection.
•When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, you must provide a minimum clearance of 3 3/4" (95 mm) from the wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE
To facilitate moving your refrigerator to its final location, be sure to measure the width and height of doorways, thresholds, ceilings, stairways, and anything else that needs to be taken into consideration to ensure you can move your refrigerator safely. The following diagram illustrates the exact height and depth (factory specifications) of your refrigerator.
