• 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 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.

• 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 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.

• 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).

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.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.

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.

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 3 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.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufﬁciently cool.
