GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung French Door Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art
features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers.
Selecting the best location for the refrigerator ,, A location with easy access to the water supply.
,, A location without direct exposure to sunlight. ,, A location with a leveled floor.
,, A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily. ,, Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system
may not work properly.
,, Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of
maintenance & service.
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 sA,,(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

ADJUSTING THE DOORS
After putting the doors back on the refrigerator, make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments.
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.
For example, when the left side is lower than the right side, insert a flat-blade screwdriver(-) into a notch on the left control lever, and turn it counterclockwise to level the door.
Turning it clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.
For the left side is higher, do it with right lever.
Z_ Both control levers must be surely touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because
....... of tipping.
We do not 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.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser 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.
In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20-125 psi is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) 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.
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 1/4,,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 off valve.
3. Connect the water line installation kit to shut off valve.

2. Tighten the compression nut (@onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (@.
3. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
_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.
Installing the water filter.
After remove the right side upper shelf, you can install the water filter more easily.
.
Remove the water filter cover (1_)
2.
Remove the fixed cap (_) by turning it counter clockwise. Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don't use the filter.
.
Remove the water filter ([_)) from the box and put a replacement indicator sticker (Indicator sticker is included in
the box) on the filter as shown. Place the sticker on the filter that dates six months in the future. For example, if you install the water filter in March, put the "SEP" sticker on the filter to remind you to replace it in September. This way, you can remember the time to replace the water filter. Normally, a filter
life is about 6 months.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line
after installing the water filter.
1. Turn on the main water supply & turn on the valve to the water supply line.
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6-7minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from
the lines.
3. Additional clearing time may be required in some households.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming
from the water filter.
Cover filter.
5D
Turn until the label
is aligned.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may leak from it.
This is due to the fact 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 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 heaw 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.

If ice doesn't come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice jamming may occur.
Normal Use To fill the 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.
When you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you should press the dispenser lever once with the 'ICE CUBED' or 'CRUSHED' function ON to get new ice faster after
replacing the ice bucket in the refrigerator, j
If you use all the ice at once, steps 3 and 4 above must be repeated (before dispensing the first 4 to _ ice
cubes, you need to wait for 8 hours). This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

CAUTION
The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualified person and connect to a potable water supply only.
Inorder to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 - 125 psi is required. If you have a long vacation or business trip and won't use water or ice dispensers, close the water valve.

Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open.
-. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop. Do not put your fingers, 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 finger 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.
Water clouding phenomenon
®
All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. Inthis 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 sothat 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.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent water dribble. Do not pull
out the lever dispenser after taking out ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes. When you select "Crushed", the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.
