To prevent floor damage, be sure the front levelling
legs are in the up position (above the floor). Refer to
‘Levelling the refrigerator’ in this manual (page 8).

To protect the finish of your flooring while you are
installing the refrigerator, place a large section of the
cardboard carton under the refrigerator where you are
working.

SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR

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. If not, first check the power supply and
electricity source or try the troubleshooting section at
the back of this user’s guide. If you have any further
questions, contact your Samsung Electronics service
center.

1. Place the Refrigerator in an appropriate location
with reasonable clearance between the wall and
the Refrigerator. 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.

4. After powering the Refrigerator, 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.

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, drinking water line.

3. After connecting the water supply with water filter,

turn on water supply and Flush 3 gallons through
filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes).

CHECKING 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.

In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water
pressure of 20~125 psi (pound per square inch) is
required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.)
paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.

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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Connecting the water 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.

• 1/4” compression nut • plastic tubing

• copper tubing • ferrule

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 available at extra
cost from your dealer. We recommend using a
water supply kit that contains copper tubing.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the
compression nut (B) (not included) and ferrule
(not included) on copper tubing (not included) as
shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the
molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B) into the
compression fitting.

Do not use without the molded end(Bulb) of

CAUTION

the plastic tubing (B).

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the

compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (B).

3. Turn water on and check for any leakage.

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.

BEFORE USING ICEMAKER

Remove

- Hold the handle as shown in
Figure1.

- Slightly pull up the bottom part.

- Take out the ice bucket slowly.

Install

- Assemble the icemaker in the
reverse order of disassembly.

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

- If the bucket does not fit into its
place, turn the gear handle on its
back by 90 degrees and reinstall
it again as shown in Figure 2.

Before calling service

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

- If you don’t dispense ice for a
long period of time, the ice may
form clumps in the ice bucket.
If ice clumps form, remove the
remaining ice and empty the

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

- When Ice Off blinks on the display panel,

CAUTION

reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s
installed properly.

- 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 floor.

- Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser
or on the bucket. They may get hurt.

- Be sure not to put your hand or any object into the
ice chute. It may cause personal injury or damage
mechanical parts.

Removing residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing filter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply.

2. Press the Water button and push the Dispenser

Lever.

3. Flush 1 gallons of water through the filter before
use. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will
clean the water supply system and remove air
from the lines.

4. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.

5. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

A newly installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to briefly spurt from the water
dispenser. This is due to air getting into the
line. It should pose no problem to operation.

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

2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds,

the ice cube container is filled 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.
