extension cord to power the Refrigerator, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord should be AC 115V-120V, 10A, or more. Additionally, if a grounding adapter is used, make sure the
receptacle box is also fully grounded.

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 level (or nearly level) flooring.
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 French Door Refrigerator.

28 7/s) (734mm)
Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption
and keep your energy bills lower.
Do not install the Refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C).
When moving your refrigerator
CAUTION
To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling legs are in
the up position(above the floor).
Refer to 'Leveling the refrigerator' in the manual(at page 15)
FLOORING
Screwdriver(-) Control Lever
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level
surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator, or approximately
6601bs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section
of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are
working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push
back in straight.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LiNE
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.) 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, oress 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.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.
2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line.
3. After connecting the water supply with water filter, turn on water supply and Flush 3 gallons through filter
before use (flush approximately 6 minutes).

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ® (not included) and ferrule (not included) on
copper tubing (not included) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing ®, insert the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing ® into the
compression fitting.
/_, Do not use without the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing ®
CAUTION
3. Tighten the compression nut ® onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut ®.
4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
Ifyou 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.
1. Remove the water filter cover({_)
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.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a replacement
indicator sticker 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. That way
you'll know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter
life is about 6 months.

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.

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 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.

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 inthe coldest part of the

Check that the Refrigerator is leveland stable.
Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping airfrom
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 installedin the vertical hinged section
of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.
Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leavethe 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 Freezertemperature too warm? Trysetting the Freezertemperature 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, fish) should be tightly covered.
Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away anyspoiled or suspicious food.
Is the airvent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.
Is the Freezerdrawer 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 isfree and clear of any obstruction.
