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.

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

The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

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

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 ﬂ ushing may be required in some

households.

4. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there

are no water leaks coming from the water ﬁ lter.

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

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.

WARNING

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

property DO NOT use generic brands of water ﬁ lers 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 ﬁ lter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.

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

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

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

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

5. Position and insert the new ﬁ lter into the ﬁ lter housing.

Slowly turn the water ﬁ lter clockwise 90º to

align with the indication mark on the cover, locking the ﬁ lter in position. Make sure that the indicator is lined up with the “lock” position. Do not over tighten.

6. Once you have completed this process, hold the

Ice Type button for 3 seconds to reset the ﬁ lter schedule.

7. Lastly, Dispense 1L of water through water dispenser and throw away. Make sure that water ﬂ ows clearly again before drinking.

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

Ordering replacement ﬁ lters

To order more water ﬁ lter cartridges, contact your authorised Samsung dealer.

USING THE DOORS

The refrigerator doors are equipped with a door opening and closing feature that ensures that the doors close all the way and are securely sealed.

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.
