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.

• Raise the front of the refrigerator so that
the doors close by themselves.
Adjusting the levelers so that the back
of the refrigerator is much higher than
the front of the refrigerator can make it
difficult to open the doors.

• If the back of the refrigerator is not level, put an
appropriately sized thin piece of wood or tile
where the refrigerator leg you want to raise will
be set, and then secure it in place using tape.
Slide the refrigerator into its spot, with the back
leg you want to raise on the tile or wood.
Then, adjust the level of the front legs.

• When pushing the refrigerator in, be careful not
to damage the floor.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR
HEIGHT

If one door is lower than the other:

• The refrigerator door height can be adjusted
using the adjustment nuts located at the
bottom of each door.

• Raising the door too high can cause the door to

1. Remove the refrigerator
door’s hinge cover.

- Detach the hinge cover with
the door open and then close
the door once the hinge
cover has been detached.

2. Adjust the gap using a 4 mm Allen wrench (not
included).

HOW TO ADJUST THE GAP
BETWEEN THE REFRIGERATOR
DOOR AND THE REFRIGERATOR
BODY

If the gap between the refrigerator door and the
refrigerator is uneven :

• Use the adjustors located at the top edge of
the refrigerator, inside each door.

1. Open the door where the gap with the
refrigerator is narrower and then turn the
adjustor counterclockwise ( ) until the gap
is even.

3. Rotate the bolt clockwise ( ) to widen
the gap. Rotate it counterclockwise ( ) to
narrow the gap.
Adjust until the gap between the refrigerator
door and the freezer door appears even.

2. Once the gap between the door and the
refrigerator has been adjusted, turn the adjustor
nut clockwise ( ) to lock the adjustor in

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.

- 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.

SMART GRID Function
(Demand Response)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART
GRID (Demand Response) mode, the E-Smart
Refrigerator function can control energy usage
or delay the operation of some functions to save
money when energy prices or demand are the
highest.

OPERATING

You can deactivate the SMART GRID
(Demand Response) function at any
time. (Using the Override On/Off
function)

To use the SMART GRID (Demand
Response) function, you need a
separate contract with your electric
Utility company.

Using the SMART GRID (Demand
Response) Function

This feature monitors energy prices and demand
information from your utility company and sends
notifications to the refrigerator to run high energy­consuming tasks during off-peak times when
electricity costs and demand are lower.
If the refrigerator receives a control signal from
the Utility Company, the refrigerator will display
the DAL(L3) ~ TALR(L4) levels on the refrigerator
display and control the power consumption
according to the level.
[Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control
signals from an Utility Company work as long as
product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID
(Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR),
the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance
Load (Display:L3) or Temporary Appliance Load
Reduction (Display:L4) mode.
