The Installation Space
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 for air circulation of the internal cooling system.
If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.
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.
• 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
50ºF (10ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.
FLOORING
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 660lbs(299kg). 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.
