time below the cold end of
the range of temperature
for which the refrigerating
appliance is designed.

• Do not store food which
spoils easily at low
temperature, such as
bananas, melons.

• Your appliance is frost free,
which means there is no
need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will
be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rising during
the defrost can comply with
ISO requirement. But if you
want to prevent an undue
rise in the temperature of the
frozen food while defrosting
the appliance, please wrap
the frozen food in several
layers of newspaper.

• Any increase in temperature

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 (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 time for which
the door is open, the less ice
will form in the freezer.

- Clean the rear of the
refrigerator regularly.
Dust increases energy
consumption.

- Do not set temperature
colder than necessary.

- Ensure suffi cient air exhaust

at the refrigerator base
and at the back wall of the
refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent
openings.

- Allow clearance to the right,
left, back and top when
installing.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your
energy bills lower.

- For the most effi cient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner fi ttings such as
baskets, drawers, shelves
on the position supplied by
manufacturer.

LEVELLING THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that the doors are back on the refrigerator, you
will want to make sure the refrigerator is level so you
can then make fi nal adjustments. If the refrigerator
is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors
perfectly even.

The front of the refrigerator is also adjustable.

When the Freezer door is lower than
the fridge

Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the
Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level
the freezer.

CHECKING THE WATER

Ice Chute

DISPENSER LINE (OPTIONAL)

A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features
on your new Samsung refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the Samsung water fi lter removes
unwanted particles from your water. However, it
does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You
will need to purchase a water purifying system to do
that. In order for the icemaker to operate properly,
water pressure of 138 ~862 kPa is required. Under
normal conditions, a 170 cc paper cup can be fi lled
in 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below 138 kPa), you can
install a booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure. Make sure the water storage tank inside
the refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the
water dispenser lever until the water runs from the
water outlet. When using the Water Dispenser, Slight
noises can be generated from supplying water.

Water Line installation Kits are included. You can
fi nd it in one of the freezer drawers.

USING THE ICE MAKER (OPTIONAL)

(RS77*, RS54H*)

To Remove the Ice Bucket

-

Hold the handle as shown in fi gure1.

-

Slightly pull up the bottom part.

-

Take out the ice bucket slowly.

To Refi t The Ice Bucket

- Assemble it in the reverse
order of disassembly.

- Push the bucket in fi rmly until
you hear a clicking sound.

- When the bucket does not fi t
into its place, turn the gear
handle on its back by 90
degrees and reinstall it again
as shown in fi gure 2.

Normal Operation

-

Any sounds you hear when the ice
maker dumps ice into the bucket
are part of normal operation.

- Not dispensing ice for long
periods may cause ice
clumps in the ice bucket.
Remove the remaining ice
and empty the bucket.

- When ice does not come out,
Check for any ice stuck in the
chute and remove it.

-

The fi rst batch of ice cubes may
be small due to air in the pipe
after connection, any air will be
purged during normal use.

- When the door is open, the Ice and water
dispenser do not work.

- If you close the door hard, it may cause
water spilling over the ice maker.

- To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use
both hands when removing it.

- To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any
ice or water that may have dropped on
the fl oor.

Do not let children hang on the ice dispenser

1. Lift up the icemaker cover and gently pull out.

2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds,
the ice cube container is fi lled with water from the
water supply tap. Check to make sure the amount
of water is correct (see the illustration below).

If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be

small. This is a water pressure problem from with
in the main water pipes, not the refrigerator.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator
does not work at all
or it does not chill
suffi ciently.

The food in the fridge is
frozen.

You hear unusual
noises or sounds.

The front corners of
the appliance are hot
and condensation is
occurring.

Ice is not dispensing.

You can hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in
the refrigerator.

Frost forms on the
walls of the freezer.

Water dispenser is not
functioning.

• Check 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?

• 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? Try moving those items into the body of the fridge instead of keeping
them in the CoolSelect Zone™ drawer.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air
from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and
occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation
to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

• 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 blocked within 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, fi sh) 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 suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient 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.
