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 (a radiator, for example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy
efciency.

putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time the door is
open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the
back and sides. This will help reduce power consumption and keep
your energy bills lower.
Safety information
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied
by manufacturer.

Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 Select a site
Select a site that:
• Has a solid, level surface without carpeting or ooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Is away from direct sunlight
• Has adequate room for opening and closing the door
• Is away from any heat sources
• Provides room for maintenance and servicing
• Has a temperature range between 10 °C and 43 °C
CAUTION
• If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, secure extra space at the rear of the
refrigerator for the water line connection.
• When you install the refrigerator next to a xed wall, you must secure a minimum
clearance of 95 mm from the wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE
To facilitate moving your refrigerator to its nal location, be sure to measure the width
and height of doorways, thresholds, ceilings, stairways, and anything else that needs to be
taken into consideration to ensure you can move your refrigerator safely. The following
diagram illustrates the exact height and depth (factory specications) of your refrigerator.

Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4
to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
English56
Untitled-1 562017-06-29 3:14:50
Page 57
Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.
1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when
you press the button.
2. You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.
CAUTION
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may
overow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker,
especially when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain
a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working
properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell
with fresh, loose ice cubes.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can
cause physical injury or property damage.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at
the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.
Operations
If You Turn the Ice Maker Off
If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make
sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together,
making it difcult to remove them.
To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket section on page 59.
NOTE
• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of
the refrigerator.
Water clouding
Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering
process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with
oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when
dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

NOTE
• A newly installed lter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briey. This is
because air has entered the waterline.
• The replacement process may cause the water dispenser to drip for a short period of
time. If it drips, simply wipe up any water on the oor with a dry towel.
Reverse osmosis water ltration system
The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water ltration
system must be between 35 psi and 120 psi (241 kPa and 827 kPa).
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water ltration system to the refrigerator’s
cold water line must be at least 40 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure is below these
specications:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter
if necessary.
• Rell the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when
used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter.
