Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and eciencies that this new appliance oers.

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

Choose:

• A location with easy access to a water supply.

• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• A location with level (or nearly level) ﬂooring.

• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.

• A location that allows sucient space to the right, left, back, and top for air circulation.

• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.

• Do not install the refrigerator in locations where the temperature is over 110 °F (43 °C) or below 50 °F (10 °C ).

If the refrigerator does not have enough space, it can cause the bad inﬂuence to refrigeration eciency and power consumption. 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, you need a minimum clearance of 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

Important: 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 this Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOOR OR IN DOOR

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

Fixed part

The left door is ﬁxed. To make minor adjustments between doors, adjust only the right door.

Snap ring

The height of a door or in door can be adjusted using the provided snap rings, which come in 4 dierent sizes (1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and

2.5mm).

part

CAUTION

• Insert only one snap ring for this purpose. Two or more snap rings may slip out or make a rubbing noise.

• Keep the snap rings out of children’s reach, and keep them for future use.

• Do not raise the door too much. The door can contact and damage the top cover.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN OUT DOOR AND IN DOOR (APPLICABLE MODELS ONLY)

After raising the out door, insert the supplied snap ring in the gap between the OUT DOOR and the HINGE-SHAFT.

01 SETTING UP

Snap ring are enclosed with the refrigerator.

To adjust the height of a door

Check the height dierence between the doors, and then raise and hold the lower door.

• Insert the snap ring in the gap between the in door and the HINGE-SHAFT. (applicable models only)

The thickness of RING is 1 mm, 2 ea.

Use the snap ring in case the handle does not move because the out door is lowered.

INSTALLING 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 the water 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 (138 ~ 862 kPa) is

English - 15

DA68-02952A-11.indb 15 2018. 7. 9. �� 5:18

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 the water runs from the water outlet.

• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a ¼” compression nut.

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

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut o the main water supply.

Connecting the water supply line to the refrigerator.

There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You may ﬁnd these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the

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

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.

If you ﬁnd water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn o the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

4. 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.

5. 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 o 1/4“ 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. (170cc)

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 sure your 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 suciently cool.

If condensation or water drops appear on both sides of the fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode o after removing the condensation. (See the explanation of the Energy Saver button in “Using the Control Panel” on page 18.)

WARNING

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water ﬁlters in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS. SAMSUNG

is not 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 Filters.

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

1. Shut o 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 ).

water runs clear (approx. 6 to 7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

3. Additional ﬂushing may

be required in some households.

4. Open the Refrigerator

door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water ﬁlter.

Be sure to ﬂush the dispenser 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). If a 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 if 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 refrigerator 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.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to the refrigerator ﬂows through the core ﬁlter which is an alkaline water ﬁlter. In the ﬁltering process, the pressure of the water that has ﬂowed out of the ﬁlter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water ﬂows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.
