time below the cold end of
the range of temperature
for which the refrigerating
appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which
spoils easily at low
temperature, such as
bananas, melons.
• Your appliance is frost free,
which means there is no
need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will
be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rising during
the defrost can comply with
ISO requirement. But if you
want to prevent an undue
rise in the temperature of the
frozen food while defrosting

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
safety information _11
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

CHECKING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
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.
USING THE ICE MAKER
To Remove the Ice Bucket
-
Hold the handle as shown in figure1.
-
Slightly pull up the bottom part.
-
Take out the ice bucket slowly.

installed properly.
- When the door is open, the Ice and water
dispenser do not work.
- If you close the door hard, it may cause
water spilling over the ice maker.
- To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use
both hands when removing it.
- To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any
ice or water that may have dropped on
the floor.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work at all
or it does not chill
sufficiently.
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, fish) 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 sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient 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.
