and ask how long it is going
to last.

- Most power failures that are
corrected within 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
all frozen food.

• If keys are provided with the
refrigerator, the keys should
be kept out of the reach of
children and not be in the
vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might
not operate consistently
(possibility of temperature
becoming too warm in the

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 (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
time for which the door is
open, the less ice will form in
the freezer.

- Clean the rear of the
refrigerator regularly.
Dust increases energy
consumption.

- Do not set temperature
colder than necessary.

- Ensure suffi cient air exhaust

at the refrigerator base
and at the back wall of the
refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent openings.

- Allow clearance to the right,
left, back and top when
installing.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your
energy bills lower.

- For the most effi cient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner fi ttings such as
baskets, drawers, shelves
on the position supplied by
manufacturer.

This appliance is intended
to be used in household
and similar applications
such as

- staff kitchen areas in shops,
offi ces and other working
environments;

- farm houses and by
clients in hotels, motels
and other residential type
environments;

- bed and breakfast type
environments;

- catering and similar non­retail applications.

ice-maker to operate properly, a water pressure of
138~862 kPa is required. Under normal conditions,
a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be fi lled in 10 seconds. If
the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water
pressure (below 138 kPa), you can install a booster
pump to compensate for the low pressure. 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 supply kit that contains copper tubing.

The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance
are to be used and that old hose-sets should
not be reused.

health, the Samsung water fi lter 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

clockwise. Keep the cap in a safe place for later
use if you don’t use the fi lter.

3. Remove the water fi lter from the box and put

a replacement indicator sticker on the fi lter as
shown. Place the sticker on the fi lter that dates six
months in the future. For example, if you install the
water fi lter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on the
fi lter to remind you to replace it in September. That
way you’ll know when it is time to replace the fi lter.
Normally, a fi lter life is about 6 months.

Removing any residual matter inside
the water supply line after installing
the water fi lter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the
valve to the water supply line.

2. Run water through the dispenser until the water
runs clear (approx. 6-7 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 or
water may leak from it. This is due to the fact

that there is still air in the line.

Whenever all ice is used at one time, the

above step 3 and 4 must be repeated
(before dispense the fi rst 4 to 6 ice cubes, it
needs waiting 8 hours).
This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure
maximum ice production.

When you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you
should press the dispenser lever once with ‘ICE
CUBED’ or ‘CRUSHED’ function ON to get new
ice faster after replacing the ice bucket in the
refrigerator.

Using the water dispenser

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 fi lter,Flush 3 L through fi lter before
use (fl ush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure
that water fl ows clearly again before drinking.

When you do not use the water dispenser

for 2~3 days (especially during the summer),
the dispensed water may have a funny smell or
taste. If this occurs, we recommend that you
discard the fi rst 1~2 glasses for better tasting
water.

Using the ice off function

When selecting
the Ice Off mode,
remove all ice cubes
from the bucket. If
you are not using
the ice dispenser,

Pull on

Push

the ice cubes may clump together. Pull the lock
lever forward to throw away ice cubes or remove
clumped ice from the bucket. Push the bucket
back until you hear a click.

If you have a long vacation or business trip,

close the water valve and shut off the water
supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent
accidental leakages. Do not disassemble the
Ice-maker personally. It may cause disorder. Do
not wash or spray the ice bucket with water. Just
wipe it with a dry cloth. In order to operate the
ice-maker properly, water pressure of 138~862
kPa is required.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to refrigerators fl ows through
the core fi lter which is an alkaline water fi lter. In
this process, the pressure in the water that has
fl owed out of the fi lter gets increased, and oxygen
and nitrogen become saturated. When this water
fl ows 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.
Please wait 1 second before removing the cup
after dispensing water to prevent spills. 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.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The Refrigerator does
not work at

all or it does not chill
suffi ciently.

The food in the
Refrigerator is frozen.

You hear unusual noise
or sounds.

The front corners and
vertical hinged section
of the appliance are
hot and condensation
is occurring.

Ice-maker is not
producing ice.

You can hear water
bubbling in the
Refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in
the Refrigerator.

Frost forms on the
walls of the Freezer.

Water dispenser is not
functioning.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct
temperature?

Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore
keeping air from circulating?

• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low?

• Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the
Refrigerator? Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator
instead of keeping them in the Cool Select Pantry™.

• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore
keeping air from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and
occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding
according to the temperature of the Refrigerator interior.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical
hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave
the door open for a long time.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before
making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer
temperature lower.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid
circulating through the Refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors(for example, fi sh) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or
suspicious food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate
freely.

• Allow suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient air
circulation.

• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too
low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
