Safety information
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your electric
company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in 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 and
discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents
can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen
food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a
location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have
a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out
automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO
requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the
frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

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.
• 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 refrigerator open for too long when
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.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied
by manufacturer.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as
• staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
• farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential

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.
Effective temperature range
The refrigerator is designed to operate normally in the temperature range specied by its
class rating.
Class Symbol
Ambient Temperature range (°C)
IEC 62552 (ISO 15502) ISO 8561
Extended Temperate SN +10 to +32 +10 to +32
Temperate N +16 to +32 +16 to +32
Subtropical ST +16 to +38 +18 to +38
Tropical T +16 to +43 +18 to +43
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.

To dispense water with ice
1. With the Ice Maker enabled, press
Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice to select the
ice type.
2. Put a water glass under the dispenser,
and then push the dispenser lever with
the glass. Ice will be dispensed from the
dispenser.
3. Press Water to select water.
4. Push the dispenser lever with the

NOTE
• The dispenser will stop dispensing if you keep pushing the dispenser lever for about 1
minute. To dispense more water, release and push the lever again.
• Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the dispensed water from
spilling out.
• If you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days, the dispensed water may have an
abnormal smell or taste. This is not a system failure. Discard the rst 1-2 glasses of
water.
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.
Untitled-2 56 2017-06-29 3:17:02
English 57
Operations
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.
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.

6. When you are done replacing the lter,
open the water valve and run water
through the dispenser for about 7
minutes. This is to remove impurities
and air from the water line.
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.
