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. You can ﬁnd it in one of the freezer drawer.

01 SETTING UP

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

1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the

water supply line.

2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear

(approx. 1L). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

3. Additional ﬂushing may be required in some households.

4. 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.

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray. (Optional)

1. Lift up the icemaker bucket and gently pull out of the freezer.

2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds, the ice cube container is ﬁlled with water from

the water supply tap after ice tray is twisted. 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.

SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed and in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the full 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 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 should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly.

4. After powering the refrigerator, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufﬁciently cool, you can store food and drink in the

refrigerator.

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.

- Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock. If you experience difﬁculty when changing the light, contact your service center.

Changing the LED Type Lighting

Do not disassemble or replace the LED type Lighting. To change the LED Type Lighting contact Samsung service center or your authorised Samsung dealer.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water ﬁlers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator. USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS. SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to property damage caused by water leakage from use of a generic water ﬁlter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water ﬁlter cartridge. To give you some time to get a new ﬁlter, the light will come on up just before the capacity of the current ﬁlter runs out. Changing the ﬁlter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.

1. Remove the water ﬁlter from the box and put a month indicator sticker on the ﬁlter as shown.

2. Place a sticker on the ﬁlter that dates six months in the future. For example, if you are replacing the water ﬁlter in March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the ﬁlter to remind you to replace in September. Normally ﬁlter life is about every 6 months.

3. Next, remove the ﬁxed cap by turning it counter clockwise.

4. Remove the new ﬁlter’s protective cap and remove the old ﬁlter.

5. Position and insert the new ﬁlter into the ﬁlter housing.

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 Zone™ 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.
