can shorten its storage life.

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 sufficient 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.

If you do not secure the nut ﬁrmly, the bolt may release.

CHECKING THE WATER 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 ﬁlter 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 ﬁlled 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 ﬁlled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

Water Line installation Kits are included with unit. You can ﬁnd it in freezer drawer.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The freezer temperature can be set between -14°C (8°F) and -25ºC (-14°F) to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in mind that foods like ice cream may melt at -16ºC (4°F).

The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°C (8°F) and -25ºC (-14°F). When the display reaches -14ºC (8°F), it will begin again at -25ºC (-14°F).

Five seconds after the new temperature is set the display will again show the actual current freezer temperature. However, this number will change as the Freezer adjusts to the new temperature.

Controlling the Fridge temperature

The refrigerator temperature can be set between 7ºC (45°F) and 1ºC (34°F) to suit your particular needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.

The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process. Press the Fridge button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will

begin tracking towards the newly set temperature. This will be reﬂected in the digital display.

The temperature of the freezer or the refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side. This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the freezer and refrigerator return to their normal set temperatu

res the blinking will stop.

If the blinking continues, you may need to “

reset” the refrigerator. Try unplugging the

appliance, wait about 10 minutes and then plug back in.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caring for your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it odor and germ-free.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just make sure to dry them before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth. Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the refrigerator. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. The doors, handles and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.

Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™ for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and can create a risk of ﬁre.

Cleaning the Rubber door seals

If the rubber door seals are dirty the doors may not close properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efﬁciently. Keep the door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged in, as it may cause an electric shock. Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner or car detergent for risk of ﬁre.

troubleshooting

PRObleM sOlUTION

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 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?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• 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 Duo™ drawer.

You hear unusual noises or sounds.

• 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.

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

• 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.

Ice is not dispensing.

• 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 storage unit?

• 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.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• 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?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• 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.
