•
product in an environmentally friendly manner.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER
USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local offi ce
of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is
going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected within
an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the
keys should be kept out of the reach of children
and not in vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently
(possibility of temperature becoming too warm
in refrigerator) when sited for an extended period
of 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 the appliance,
please wrap the frozen food in several layers of
newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
safety information _5
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 suffi cient 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.

CHECKING THE WATER
Ice Chute
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.
USING THE ICE MAKER (OPTIONAL)
To Remove the Ice Bucket
-
Hold the handle as shown in fi gure1.
-
Slightly pull up the bottom part.
-
Take out the ice bucket slowly.
- When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel,
reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s
CAUTION
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 fl oor.
Do not let children hang on the ice dispenser
-
or on the bucket.
They may get hurt.
- Be sure not to put your hand or any object
into the ice chute.
It may cause personal injury or damage
mechanical parts.
INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
For Interior model
Parts for water line Installation
To Refi t The Ice Bucket
- Assemble it in the reverse
order of disassembly.

you hear a clicking sound.
- When the bucket does not fi t
into its place, turn the gear
handle on its back by 90
degrees and reinstall it again
as shown in fi gure 2.
Normal Operation
- Any sounds you hear when
the ice maker dumps ice into
the bucket are part of normal
operation.
- Not dispensing ice for long
periods may cause ice
clumps in the ice bucket.
Remove the remaining ice
and empty the bucket.
- When ice does not come
out, Check for any ice stuck
in the chute and remove it.

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.
