Installation

Getting ready to install the refrigerator

Congratulations on the purchase of your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator. We hope you will enjoy the many state-of-the-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance has to offer.

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

• Solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation

• Away from direct sunlight

• Adequate room for opening and closing the door

• Away from a heat source

• Room for maintenance and servicing

• Temperature range: between 5 °C and 43 °C

Effective temperature range

The refrigerator is designed to operate normally in the temperature range specified by its class rating.

NOTE

• The cooling performance and power consumption of the refrigerator may be affected by the ambient temperature, the door-opening frequency, and the location of the refrigerator. We recommend adjusting the temperature settings as appropriate.

Clearance

Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.

Overall space required in use. Refer to drawing and dimension as below.

NOTE

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C).

• Make sure you disconnect the water supply line BEFORE removing the freezer door.

When the Freezer door is higher than the fridge

Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the fridge.

NOTE

• Refer to the next section for the best way to make very minor adjustments to the doors.

• The legs of product are unconnected when it is out of factory. Make sure to adjust the legs to touch the floor, and make the product level before using.

• For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.

Making minor adjustments to the doors

Remember, a leveling refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

In the case of the process to correct the imbalance is the same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as follows:

1.Unscrew the nut 1 from the lower hinge until it reaches the upper end of the bolt 2 .

NOTE: When you release the nut 1 , make sure that you use the Allen wrench (4mm) 3 to loosen the bolt 2 in a counter-clockwise direction. You should then be able to unscrew the nut 1 with your fingers.

2.Adjust the height difference between the doors by turning the bolt clockwise or counter clockwise

NOTE: When you turn clockwise , the door will move up.

3.After adjusting the doors, turn the nut 1 clockwise until it reaches the lower end of the bolt, then tighten the bolt again with the wrench 3 to fix the nut in place 1 .

NOTE

If you do not secure the nut firmly, the bolt may release.

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.

NOTE: Water Line installation Kits are included with unit. You can find it in freezer drawer.

Installing the water dispenser line (optional)
