ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local office 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.
• 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.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• 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.
• 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).
- Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy efficiency.
- 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.
- It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the back and sides. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

INSTALLING 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. 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 filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water dispenser.
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.
The Samsung refrigerator warranty does not cover water line installation. We strongly recommend you have a plumber or authorized installer install the water line.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.
The refrigerator should NOT be plugged in at this point.
2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking water line.
3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.
4. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut off valve.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (B) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B) into the compression fitting.
CAUTION
Do not use plastic tubing (B) without the molded end (Bulb).
2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leaks inside the refrigerator, around the water filter, and in any connection areas. If you find water drops or leaks, turn off the main water supply. If the leaks are in the connection areas, check the connections and, if necessary, tighten. If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check the water filter and confirm it is in the locked position. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks again.
4. Plug in the refrigerator.
5. Flush 1 gallons of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.
To flush, press the Water button, and then press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
6. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
• 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 first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.
• 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 fill a 5.75oz. (170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.
