I'_ ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
Inthe 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.
If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be kept in the vicinity of the appliance.
The appliance might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures
can become too warm inthe 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.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as bananas and melons.
,, 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 Ifyou 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.
Any increase in the temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
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).
Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down before placing it
in the appliance.
Put frozen food inthe refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food inthe 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.
Provide sufficient clearance to the right, left,
back, and top for air circulation when installing the refrigerator. 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.
