MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
BETWEEN DOORS

To reattach the drawer after you have moved

the fridge to its final location, assemble the parts in
reverse order.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can
make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the

refrigerator is level both side to side and back to
front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be

possible to get the doors perfectly even, which
may cause moisture condensation and increased

energy bills. Below is an example of how to level
the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is

lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower
basket.

2. Insert a fiat-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch
on the left control lever, and turn it counter.

clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the
lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and

counterclockwise to raise it.)

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary
for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need

help, review the previous section on leveling the
refrigerator.

recommend making small adjustments

with the control lever. Instead, refer to the
next page for the best way to make minor

adjustments to the doors.

4. After adjusting the doors, insert the supplied
fastener ( 6 ) using a pliers ( 5 ) in the gap

between the hinge-grommet ( 7 ) and the lower
hinge ( 8 ). The number of fasteners you'll need
to insert depends on the gap.

2 fastener are enclosed with the refrigerator.
The thickness of each fastener is 0.04".

INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the
shut off valve.

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 20N125psi (138N862kPa) is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), 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.

[_ ater line installation kits are available at

extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper tubing

and W' compression nut.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water

supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and

install the pipe clamp and shut offvalve.

CAUTIONof the plastic tubing ( B ).

1. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the
compression fitting.

Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ).

2. Turn water on and check for any leakage. Ifyou
find water drops or leakage in the connection
areas, turn off the main water supply. Check

the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

3. 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. Fill the glass, empty it
into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then

repeat.

4. 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 I/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. (I 70cc) cup in
about 10 seconds.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the

features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.

1. Make sureyour refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it

and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in
this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure
the interior light comes on when you open the

doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run

smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to
the temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will
take a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature. You can store food and drinks

in the refrigerator after the temperature is
sufficiently cool.

[_ nder normal conditions, a ] 70 cc (5.75 oz.) cup

can be filled in about 10 seconds.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER ..................

z_ To reduce risk of water damage to your

WARNINGproperty DO NOT use generic brands

of water filters in your SAMSUNG
Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS.
SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from the use of a

generic water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are
designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water

Filter.

The Filter light turns red to let you

know when it is time to change your
water filter cartridge.

To give you time to get a new filter,

the red light comes on just before the
capacity of the current filter runs out. {Red)

Changing the filter on time provides you with the
freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.

1. Shut off the water supply.Then, turn the water
filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.

2. Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter (2).

o To changethe water filter more easily,

shut offthe water supply valve.

Sometimes it is hard to disassemble the water
filter because impurities in the water cause it

to stick. If you are having difficulties, grip the
water filter firmly and pull it hard.

• When you pull the

water filter, a little

water can leak from
the opening. This is

normal. To minimize
the water leaks, keep

the filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
To prevent overflow, empty the water filter tray

( 3 ) and dry around the filter case ( 2 ).

3. Insert the new filter into the filter case (4).

4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it

locks.

• If you have trouble inserting the water
filter because of high water pressure,

shut offthe water supply valve.

• The locked symbol should be lined up
with the indicator line.

14 operat -_g

5. After removing the old
water filter and installing

a new reset the indicator
by pressing the "Fridge"

and "Power Cool" button
simultaneously for about 3

seconds.

6. If you turned offthe water supply, turn it back

on.

For a replacement water filter, you can

®

visit your local home Improvement center
or contact the Samsung Parts distributor.

Be sure the replacement water filter has
the SAMSUNG logo on the box and

on the water filter. Link : http://www.
samsungparts.com

Removing any residual matter inside
the water supply line after installing

the water filter.

1. Turn ON the main water ..................

the dispenser until the
water runs clear (approx.

6 to 7 minutes). This will ....

clean the water supply system and remove air
from the lines.

3.

If after pour 1 Gal the water doesn't turn clear is
possible an additional flushing in the household lines.

4.

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

water filter.

Be sure to flush the dispenser system thoroughly,
otherwise water may drip from the

dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.

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.) If
the 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 refriegerator has a water filter, it may

further reduce the water pressure when used
in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.

Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.

CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and
Refrigerator Compartments

The basic temperature and recommended
temperatures of the Freezer and Refrigerator

Compartments are O°F and 37°F(or -18°C and
3°C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer

and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or
low, adjust the temperature manually.

CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between
5°F(-15°C) and -8°F(-23°C) to suit your particular
needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly

until the desired temperature is shown in the
temperature display. Keep in mind that foods like

ice cream may melt at 4°F(-15°C).

The temperature display will move sequentially
from -8°F(-23°C) to 5°F(-15°C). When the display

reaches 5°F,it will begin again at -8°F(-23°C).
Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the

display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature until the new temperature is reached.

Controlling the Refrigerator
temperature

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between
44°F(7°C) and 34°F(1°C) to suit your particular

needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the
desired temperature is shown in the temperature
display.

The temperature control process for the Fridge
works just like the Freezer process.

Press the Fridge button to set your desired
temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge

will begin adjusting towards the newly set
temperature. This will be reflected in the digital

display.

The temperature of the Freezer or the

®

Refrigerator may rise from opening the
doors too frequently, or ifa large amount of

warm or hot food is placed in either side.

This may cause the digital display to

blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator
temperature return to their normal set

temperatures, the blinking will stop.
If the blinking continues, you may need to

"reset" the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the
appliance, wait for around 10 minutes and

then plug the power cord back in.

USING THE COLD WATER
DISPENSER

Using the Water dispenser
(RF261 B, RF26H)

Place a glass underneath the
water outlet and push gently

against the water dispenser
lever with your glass. Make

sure the glass is in line with
the dispenser to prevent the

water from splashing out.

If you have just installed the
refrigerator or installed a new
water filter, Flush 3 gallons through filter before

use (flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure
water flows cleanly before drinking.

z_ If you have a long vacation or business trip,

CAUTIONclose the water valve and shut offthe water

supply to the Refrigerator. This will help
prevent accidental leakages.

Water clouding phenomenon

®

All water provided to refrigerators flows
through the core filter which is an alkaline

water filter. In this process, the pressure in
the water that has flowed out of the filter

gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen
become saturated. When this water flows

out in the air, the pressure plummets and
the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated
so that they turn into gas bubbles. The

water could look misty due to these oxygen
bubbles.The water may look temporarily

cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After
a few seconds, the water will look clear.

SH

The water tank's capacity is approximately

®

one third (1/3) of a gallon.
Please wait 1 second before removing the

cup after dispensing water to prevent spills.
