ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local offi ce of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be kept in the vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas and melons.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Any increase in the temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (a radiator, for example).
- Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time the door is open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
- Provide sufficient clearance to the right, left, back, and top for air circulation when installing the refrigerator. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

reverse order.
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch or dent the sliding rail by letting it strike the fl oor.
CAUTION
Make sure that you mount the freezer basket in the right position when removing / installing the freezer door. Failing to do so may result in the door not opening or closing properly.
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make fi nal 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, you will not be able 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 fl at-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch on the left control lever, and then turn it counter­clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a fi lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water fi lter 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 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 fi lled. 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.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the fi lter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To fl ush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is fi lled, 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 fi rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.
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 suffi ciently cool.
If condensation or water drops appear on both sides of the fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. (See the explanation of the Energy Saver button in “Using the Control Panel” on page 19.)
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source. If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 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 fi ll a 5.75oz. (170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

WARNING
To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water fi lters 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 fi lter.
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 fi lter cartridge. To give you time to get a new fi lter, the red light comes on just before the capacity of the current fi lter runs out. Changing the fi lter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.
To change the water fi lter, follow these steps:
1. Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water fi lter (1) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the water fi lter (1) from the case fi lter (2).

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water fi lter.
1. Turn ON the water supply if you turned it off when you installed the water fi lter.
2. Run water through 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. Additional fl ushing may be required in some households.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water fi lter.
Be sure to fl ush 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 fi ltration 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 fi lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the fi lter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refi ll after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water fi lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water fi lter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualifi ed plumber.

Maintaining the Ice Bucket
• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ice is made in cubes. When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.
• When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
• The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they were generated normally.
• If you need a large amount of ice and the ice maker is making ice cubes quickly, move ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin to open up space in the refrigerator ice bin. The ice maker will then make additional ice.
• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. See the illustration below.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is fi lled with ice or water. Water may overfl ow or ice may jam the bucket.

Using the ice off Function
When you select the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it diffi cult to remove them. To remove the ice bucket, lift up the bottom, and then pull out. To put the bucket back in, push the bucket straight back until you hear a click.
If you do not push the ice bucker fi rmly into place, ice in the bucket can melt.
• If you want to remove a large number of ice cubes without removing the ice bucket, turn off the ice maker, remove the ice maker’s front cover, and then carefully remove the ice cubes. Replace the ice maker’s front cover when you are done. Note that the ice cubes in the ice maker can spill out over the drawer.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store food in the ice bucket, the food can strike the ice maker when you open or close the door, causing damage to the ice maker.
• Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket may spill out over the drawer when you remove the ice bucket from the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to pick up the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer.
• If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working.
To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.
If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat Steps 2 and 3 under Ice Making. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the fi rst 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.
If the bucket does not fi t, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.
CAUTION
• The inside of the ice bucket stays cold when it is operating. Do not reach deep inside the ice bucket.
• Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator.
• Have a suitably qualifi ed person install and connect the water supply line to the refrigerator.
• Connect the water supply line to a potable water supply only.
• To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi is required.

Going on vacation...
If you are going on a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:
• Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
• Remove all food.
• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.
Ice Maker Do’s and Don’ts
• Do not put your fi ngers, hands, or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket.
- It may result in personal injury or material damage.
• Never put your fi nger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.
- It may cause injury.
• Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
• Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it.
Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator fl ows through the core fi lter which is an alkaline water fi lter. In the fi ltering process, the pressure of the water that has fl owed out of the fi lter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water fl ows 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.
OPERATING
CAUTION
When you insert the Ice maker tray, be sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.
