SETTING UP THE REFRIGERAT OR
Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If not, check the power
supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG service center.
Place the refigerator in an appropriate location
with reasonable clearance between the wall
and the refigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.
MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evapora
tors. Given this independent system, the freezer
and the refrigerator are cooled individually as
required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food
odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in
the freezer due to separate of air flow circulation.
Multi-Flow System
• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every
shelf level. This provides even distribution of
cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh
longer.
Door Alarm
• A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.
High humidity for fresher food
• You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for
longer because your refrigerator supplies highly
humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five
times more effective than a normal refrigerator.
Set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The
freezer should get slightly chilled and the
motor should run smoothly.
Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently
low, you can store food in the
refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.
Beverage Station (optional)
• You do not have to open the main door to access
frequently used food in the extra
refrigerating compartment. This saves time
and money.
Deodorizer (optional)
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air
fresh and odor free.

Energy-saving fridge/freezer
• Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and
freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The power freeze function allow you to freeze food
more quickly.
Abundant supply of ice and cold water
• The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold
water at any time.

INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Checking the Dimensions of your Entrance Door
• Check the dimensions of your entrance door to determine whether the refrigerator can
pass through it.
NOTE
CAUTION
• Moving refrigerator through door if depth or width of refrigerator is bigger than door’s,
removes refrigerator doors.
Selecting the Location for the Refrigerator
• Select a location with easy access to the water supply.
• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator.
• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• Before disassembling the freezer door, the water supply line needs to be disconnected.
(If not, the water supply line can be damaged.)
• See “Separating the water supply line from the refrigerator” on the next page.
Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.
• If your refrigerator is not level, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.
NOTE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line
1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water
supply line.
2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around
the water filter.
• A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.
NOTE
• Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine shelf.
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
ICE
WATER
1) Lift up (①) and pull out (➁) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.
2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is
filled with water from the water supply tap.
Check the amount of water (see the illustration below).
If the water level is too low,
the ice cubes will be small.
This is not a problem with the ice maker
but of the water pressure in
the pipe, and occurs frequently.
When this problem occurs, contact

TROUBLESHOOTING
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not
chill sufficiently
• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to
the correct temperature? Try seting it to a lower
temperature.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a
heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall?
The food in the refrigerator is frozen
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to
the correct temperature? Try seting it to a warmer
temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you store the food with a high water content in
the coldest part of the refrigerator.
You can hear unusual noise or sounds
• Check that the floor is levelled and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too near to the wall?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the
refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the
refrigerator, but this is normal. This occurs because
various accessories are contracted or expanded.
The front corners and sides of the cabinet are hot;
condensation occurs.
• Anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for a long time.
Ice is not dispensed
• Did you stop the ice making function?
• Is there any ice in the ice storage unit?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve
open?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm?
(Set the temperature lower)
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the
water supply line before making ice?
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator
• The bubbling comes from the refrigerant circulating in
the refrigerator and is normal.
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator
• Wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight.
Throw away any rotten food.
Frost forms on the wall of the freezer
• Is the air vent blocked?
• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for
efficient air circulation.
• Is the door closed properly?
No water is supplied
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve
open?
• Is the water supply line crushed?
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator
temperature is too low? Select a warmer setting on
the display panel.
