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.
• 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).
- Never block any vents or grilles on the
appliance.
- 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.
- 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 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is
required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), 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.
Connecting the water supply line to the
refrigerator
There are several items that you need to purchase
to complete this connection.
You may find these items sold as a kit at your local
hardware store.

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 5.75oz. (170cc) 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.
If condensation or water drops appear
on both sides of the fridge door’s central
part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after
removing the condensation.
(See the explanation of the Energy Saver
button in “Using the Control Panel” on
page 19.)

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill sufficiently.
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
You hear unusual

Ice is not
dispensing.
You can hear water
bubbling in the

• Confirm that the power plug is properly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a lower temperature.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from
circulating?
• Check if the Cooling Off function is on. If the Freezer/Fridge temperature indicator is
moving, refer to page 20 to cancel the Cooling Off function.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room very low?
• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?
• Confirm that the refrigerator is level and stable.
• If the refrigerator’s water supply line is not connected and water is not being supplied
to the refrigerator, the refrigerator will make unusual noises if the ice maker is on or
if you push the water dispenser lever. To stop the noises, press the Ice button for at
least 3 seconds until the Ice Off icon lights indicating that the ice maker is off.
• You hear a ticking sound from inside the refrigerator.
This is normal and occurs because various parts in the refrigerator’s interior contract
or expand in response to temperature changes.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the
refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar?
Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
Make sure Ice Type is set to Cubed or Crushed.
• Is there any ice clumped in the ice maker bucket?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
• This is normal.
The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the
refrigerator.
• Has a food item spoiled?
• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.
• Is the air vent blocked?
Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.
• Is the freezer door closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low?
Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
