A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water lter 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 30 to 120 psi (206 to 827 kPa) is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa), 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 lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water outlet.
NOTE
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 1/4" (6 mm) compression nut.
1. Shut off the main water source.
2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff
valve (C) into the cold water line (A).
3. Connect the water line installation kit (A) to the shutoff valve (B).

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response) (applicable models only)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.
NOTE
• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Peak Demand Off function.
• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with your electric utility company.
In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy prole).
Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function
This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off­peak 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 a 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.
• Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.
- When the refrigerator operates in DAL (L3) mode, “L3” is displayed on the
refrigerator display.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated
by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed.
• Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.
- When the refrigerator operates in TALR (L4) mode, “L4” is displayed on the
refrigerator display.
- TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration
(max. 15 minutes), or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
English38
Untitled-1 38 2020-12-31  2:29:15
To check the MAC address
1. In this mode, the MAC address appears
on the temperature panel (on both the freezer and the fridge sections of the panel) sequentially for 1 minute. Press and hold both Freezer and Fridge for 6 seconds. The temperature panel blinks. Then, press Freezer again to display the MAC address. The fridge beeps.
2. For example, if the MAC address is "11­22-33-44-55-66", the temperature panel displays the address for 1 minute in this sequence: "-- / --" "11 / 22" "33 / 44" "55 / 66" "-- / --". After the 1 minute, the MAC address disappears and the temperature panel returns to the normal state.
NOTE
The temperature panel displays "-- / --" for an unknown MAC address or if a Wi-Fi connection is not established or is lost.
Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, you can activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode).
When you activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode), the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.
Operations
Activating and deactivating Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
1. Press and hold Door Alarm for 3 seconds.
2. A buzzer sounds and ‘Or’ and ‘on’ is displayed in the freezer and fridge temperature
displays for 5 seconds. Then the Peak Demand Off (Override mode) icon ( ) turns on.

Special features

Auto ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy ltered cubed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4 to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice maker.
1. Press Test on the bottom of the ice maker. You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when you press the button.
2. You will hear another chime if the ice maker is operating properly.
Operations
CAUTION
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may overow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker, especially when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.

Operations
If You Turn the Ice Maker Off
If you press Ice Maker to turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difcult to remove them.
Water clouding
Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.
To secure more storage space (applicable models only)
To secure more space, remove the upper drawer (A), lower drawer (B), and lower drawer cover (C). Then, insert the provided bottom shelf (D).
NOTE
• Removing the drawers does not affect the temperature or usage of the freezer.
• The declared freezer volume is measured with the bottom shelf, after removing the upper drawer, lower drawer, and lower drawer cover.

PASO 6 Conectar la tubería del dispensador de agua
El dispensador de agua con ltro es una de las funciones útiles de su nuevo refrigerador. Con el n de promover la buena salud, el ltro de agua elimina las partículas no deseadas del agua. No obstante, no la esteriliza ni destruye los microorganismos. Para eso, necesita adquirir un sistema de puricación de agua.
La tubería del agua también se conecta a la fábrica de hielo. Para que la fábrica de hielo funcione correctamente, se requiere una presión de agua de entre 30 y 120 psi (206 y 827 kPa).
Si el refrigerador se instala en una zona con baja presión de agua (inferior a 30 psi/206 kPa), puede instalar una bomba cebadora para compensar la baja presión.
Una vez conectada la tubería de agua, asegúrese de que el tanque de almacenamiento de agua dentro del refrigerador esté lleno. Para hacerlo, presione la palanca del dispensador de agua hasta que salga el agua por la salida.
NOTA
• Su distribuidor podrá ofrecerle los equipos de instalación de tuberías de agua disponibles a un costo adicional. Recomendamos utilizar un equipo de instalación de tubería de agua que contenga tubería de cobre y una tuerca de compresión de 1/4" (6 mm).
1. Cierre el suministro de agua principal.
2. Inserte la abrazadera (B) y la válvula de cierre
(C) en la tubería de agua fría (A).
3. Conecte el equipo de instalación de la tubería de agua (A) a la válvula de cierre (B).
