t " location without direct exposure to sunlight. t " location with level (or nearly level) flooring. t " location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily. t Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.

If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

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.	Place the Refrigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the
	Refrigerator. 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	614&55*/(01
	and the motor will run smoothly. See Controlling the Temperature Section (Page 23).
4.	After powering the Refrigerator, 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.

5. Assembly the water line to the refrigerator and verify that the couples are correctly assembled without water leakage.

Check the accessory list below.

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new Samsung Refrigerator. To help promote better health, the Samsung 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.

In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi (pound per square inch) is required.

Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.

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.

The basic temperature and/or recommended temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are -2°F and 38°F respectively.

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

The Freezer temperature can be set between 8°F and -14°F 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.

The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°F to 8°F. When the display reaches 8°F, it will begin again at -14°F.

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 46°F and 34°F as 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 when you open the doors too frequently, or if a 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.

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.

To fill ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, make sure to do the following steps.

1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day). 2. Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.

3. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.

4. After 8 and 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice at each time.

Whenever all ice is used at one time, the above step 3 and 4 must be repeated (before dispense the first 4 to 6 ice cubes, it needs waiting 8 hours). This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.
