INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the 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 138 ~ 862kPa is required. Under normal conditions, a 170cc (5.75oz.) cup can be filled in about 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. After you have connected the water line, 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.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut o the main water supply line.
2. Locate the nearest cold, drinking water line.
3. Follow the Water line Installation Instructions in the installation kit.
CAUTION
The water line must be connected to the cold water pipe. If it is connected to the hot water pipe, it may cause the purifier to malfunction.

Installing a SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonator
To use the Sparkling Water feature on your refrigerator, you need to install a Sodastream 60L CO2 Carbonator. You can pick up the SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonator at retailer near you and your first Sodastream CO2 Carbonator is free. (For further information, please visit “www.sodastream.com/samsung”)
Purchasing SodaStream 60L CO2 Carbonators
• Purchase SodaStream 60 L Carbonators at the nearest Sodastream retailer or on line. Visit www.sodastream.com for more information.
• USE ONLY SODASTREAM 60 L CARBONATORS. SAMSUNG and SODASTREAM are not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by gas leakage from the use of generic carbonators (or CO2 cylinders). The sparkling water system in your SAMSUNG refrigerator is designed to work ONLY WITH SODASTREAM 60 L CARBONATORS.
• We suggest buying extra Carbonators for later use. Store extra Carbonators in a cool, open space, well out of the reach of children. Do not store Carbonators in the refrigerator.
If sparkling water is produced when the internal refrigerator temperature or the temperature of the CO2 cylinder is high, you may hear a “horn sound”. When you turn on your refrigerator for the first time, you should not generate sparkling water production until after approximately 2 hours. When you purchase a new CO2 cylinder, be sure to store it in a cool dry place until you are ready to install it (23 ~ 68°F (-5 ~ 20°C)). If the cylinder is stored in higher temperatures, it may build up extra internal pressure, which could create a “horn sound” when sparkling water is produced.
Water Line Hookup
• Make sure that you have connected the refrigerator to a water line before installing the cylinder.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120psi (241 and 827kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Maintaining the Ice Bucket
• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ice is made in cubes. When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.
• When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
• The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they were generated normally.
• As the ice maker in the refrigerator room makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes.
• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. See the illustration below.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.
Making Ice
• To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps:
1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).
- Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.
• To test the ice maker, press the Test button on the ice maker. You will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button.
• The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well.

Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket
CAUTION
may spill out over the drawer when you remove the ice bucket from the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to clear the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer.
If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may
CAUTION
melt, and then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working.
To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.
If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat ice making Steps 2 and 3, left. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.
Using the ice o Function
When you select the Ice O mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you leave the ice cubes in the bucket, the ice cubes may clump together, making it dicult to remove them. To remove the ice bucket safely and avoid injury, hold the bottom of the bucket with one hand and the side of the bucket with the other. Then, lift up on the ice bucket, and pull it straight out. To put the ice bucket back in, push it firmly straight back.
If the ice bucket is not pushed firmly into place, ice in the bucket can melt.
If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degree (see the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.
• The inside of the ice bucket is very cold
CAUTION
when the refrigerator is operating. Do not reach deep inside the ice bucket.
• Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualified person. Connect to a potable water supply only.
• To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125psi is required.

Going on vacation...
If you have a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:
- Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
- Remove all food.
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.
Ice Maker Do’s and Don’ts
• Do not put your fingers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket
- It may result in personal injury or material damage.
• Never put your finger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.
- It may cause injury.
• Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
• Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it
Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.
OPERATING
When you insert the Ice maker tray, be
CAUTION
sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.

Using the Sparkling Water Function
With a Sodastream CO2 cylinder installed, your refrigerator can make and dispense sparkling (carbonated) water.
Making Sparkling Water
Press and hold the Quick Sparkling button for 3 seconds to activate the Fill Up. If the Sparkling Water function is deactivated, press and hold the Sparkling Water or Quick Sparkling button for 3 seconds to reactivate it. When you turn on the function, the Carbonation Level icons light up in rotation (Level-1 Level-2 Level-3 Level-1, etc.) and, within a few seconds, the refrigerator begins to make sparkling water. When production is complete, the Carbonation Level icon rotation stops.
If you leave the Sparkling Water Production function on, and the amount of Sparkling Water becomes low, the refrigerator automatically enters the Sparkling Water production mode and makes more. However, if you turn o the Sparkling Water Production function, the refrigerator will not make additional sparkling water, even if there is little sparkling water left in the Sparkling Water tank.
No OFF Icon
Press the Sparkling Water Button for 3 seconds Press the Quick Sparkling Button for 3 seconds
Sparkling Water Production Time
Depending on the Carbonation (Sparkling) Level you set (See Controlling the Carbonation Level on page
43), the amount of time it takes the refrigerator to complete the sparkling water production process changes. The table below lists the production times by Carbonation Level. The refrigerator is pre-set at the factory to Level 2.
Carbonation Level Level 3 - High Level 2 –Mid Level 1 -Low Quick
Production Time About 30 minutes About 20 minutes About 10 minutes Less than 10 minutes
Available Capacity 1.1ℓ 1.1ℓ 1.1ℓ 1.1ℓ
Dispensing Sparkling Water
To dispense sparkling water, press the Sparkling Water button. Then, push the Ice/Sparkling Water lever gently with a glass. As time passes, the sparkling water dispensing speed can change. When the water tastes strongly carbonated, the dispensing speed can be faster. When the carbonation is weaker, the dispensing speed can slow. The dissolved CO2 in the sparkling water can also cause the water to pop out when you dispense it. In addition, due to the pressure fluctuations in the Sparkling Water Tank, the water stream may shake or become intermittent. If you keep dispensing sparking water, the water stream may become unstable or break up. This is caused by changes in pressure in the Sparkling Water Tank. It is not a defect.

DA68-03022B (EN)-04.indd 42 14. 6. 23. �� 2:47
Page 43
Water Dripping
Some time after you have dispensed sparkling water, a few drops of sparkling water can escape from the dispenser. The water dripping is not a product defect, but a natural result of mixing CO2 and water.
Controlling the Carbonation Level
When the Sparkling Water Icon is turned on, you can change the sparkling water’s carbonation level by pressing the Sparkling Water button for 3 seconds. Each time you press the Spakling Water button, the carbonation level changes as follows: Medium (Level-2) Strong (Level-3) Weak (Level-1) Medium (Level-2). As you press the button, the small numbers on the right side of the button light up in succession, indicating the level change.
- If there is previously produced sparkling water inside the Sparkling Water tank, the refrigerator dispenses sparkling water with the previous carbonation level. (Again, changes in the carbonation level do not take aect until the next time the refrigerator makes sparkling water. The change does not aect sparkling water that is already made.)
- While the refrigerator is producing sparkling water, the Sparkling Level icons light up in rotation (Level-1 Level-2 Level-3 Level-1, etc.). If you press the Sparkling Water button when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the current carbonation level is displayed for several seconds. If you press the Sparkling Water button again while the carbonation level is being displayed, the carbonation level changes. The change in the carbonation level will take aect the next time the refrigerator makes sparkling water.
- If you change the carbonation level when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the refrigerator produces sparkling water at the previous carbonation level.
OPERATING
The Sparkling Level is set to Level 2 at the factory. If the sparkling water tastes too strong or too weak, change the carbonation level. Level 1 provides a milder carbonation, Level 3 a stronger carbonation.
• If there is a power interruption when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the refrigerator may re-start the carbonation process when power returns and put too much carbonation into the water. If this occurs, we recommend throwing out the overly carbonated water and starting the process again.
• The lifetime of the CO2 cylinder can vary, depending on the Sparkling Levels you choose.

Sparkling Water: Operational Notes
• Be sure to use genuine SodaStream Cylinders from authorized resellers.
• The refrigerator starts making sparkling water about 10 seconds after you turn on the Sparkling Water Production function.
• If you open the refrigerator door while the refrigerator is making sparkling water, it will stop. When you close the door, it will resume making sparkling water in about a minute.
• If there is a power interruption when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the refrigerator may re-start the carbonation process when power returns and put too much carbonation into the water. If this occurs, we recommend throwing out the overly carbonated water and starting the process again.
• If you keep dispensing sparkling water, the water stream may become unstable or break up. This is caused by changes in pressure in the Sparkling Water Tank. It is not a defect.
• If the water hose is kinked or water is not supplied properly, the Carbonation Level of the Sparkling Water will be high. This occurs because the the same amount of the carbon dioxide (CO2) is dispensed by the Cylinder regardless of the amount of water in the Production Tank.
• The useful life of a SodaStream carbonator will vary, depending on the level of carbonation you select.
• If the Sparkling Water function is on and you dispense about 1.1 L of sparkling water, the refrigerator automatically begins making more sparkling water.
• If you are not going to be home for a long period of time, do not want to use the Sparkling Water function any more, or you are moving :

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill suciently.
The food in the fridge is frozen.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.
The cabinet­door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.
• Check if the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store with a high moisture content in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.
• Check if the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• If you hear a “ticking” sound from inside the refrigerator, this is normal. It occurs because various parts contract or expand in response to temperature changes in the refrigerator interior.
• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.
Ice Maker is not producing ice.
DA68-03022B (EN)-04.indd 58 14. 6. 23. �� 2:48
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
English - 58

PROBLEM SOLUTION
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.
• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.
Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.
Water dispenser is not functioning.
Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.
Sparkling water is not dispensed.
• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sucient space between the stored foods for ecient air circulation.
• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve opened?
• 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 fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.
• Is the Control Lock on?
• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?
• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again.
• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door.
• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve opened?
• Is the Sparkling water icon selected?
• Is the Sparkling Water Production Function O icon on? Press the Sparkling Water button for 3 seconds to turn on sparkling water production. The Sparkling Water Production function is set to OFF at the factory. Set it ON to get sparkling water.
• Is the sparkling water icon blinking? If the sparkling water icon is blinking, the refrigerator is in the middle of producing sparkling water. Please wait until the icon stops blinking.
• Is the Sparkling Water Cylinder empty? If the SodaStream Carbonator rus out of CO2, water might not be dispensed or the dispensed water might be weak. Please change the cylinder.
• Is the refrigerator door open? If the door is open, Sparkling water/Water/Ice are not dispensed.
• Is the cylinder lever unlocked? Please open the cylinder cover and lock the cylinder lever.
• Is the Control Lock on?

noise while in process.
The taste of the sparkling water is weak.
Condensation or water drops forms on both sides of fridge door’s central part.
• Increase the Sparkling Level of the sparkling water.
• When the taste of the sparkling water is too weak or there is no other taste than water, replace the SodaStream Carbonator with a new one.
• If you use the Fill Up (3 sec) option after replacing the cylinder, the sparkling water tastes stronger or weaker than normal, depending on the amount and concentration of the remaining gas in the water tank.
• Condensation or water drops may form if the humidity is too high while the refrigerator is operating.
• If condensation or water drops appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode o after removing the condensation.
