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

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.
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 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. 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.

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 (46°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 temperatures 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.
