Toll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aglass.
3. After8,andthen16hours,dispenseafullglass
ofice.
• Tocleantheicebin/bucket,washwitha
milddetergent,rinsewell,andthendryit
thoroughly.
Donotuseharshorabrasivecleanersor
solvents.
• WhenyouselectCubedIceafterusingthe
CrushedIcemode,asmallamountofresidual
crushedicemightbeproduced.
If There is a Power Failure
Ifapowerfailureoccurs,icecubesmaymelt,
andthenfreezetogetherwhenthepowercomes
backon,preventingthedispenserfromworking
properly.
Topreventthisproblem,afterapowerfailure,pull
outtheicebucketanddiscardtheresidualiceor
water.
Afteryoudumptheicefromtheicebucket,you
shouldpressthedispenserleveroncewiththe
‘Water’or‘IceType’functionON.
Theicemakerwillmakenewicefasterafteryou
returntheicebuckettotherefrigerator.
CAUTION
Ifyouusealltheiceatonce,youmust
repeatSteps2and3underIceMaking.
However,onlywait8hoursbefore

Samsung RF23HTEDBSR/EU Questions and Answers


#1 How much free space should I allow around my
refrigerator?

When you are getting ready to install your Samsung Fridge,
one of the most important things to take notice of is the
space around your fridge. Having too little space can
greatly impact on the performance and life of your fridge,
such as minimising over-heating.

#2 What to do if your ice maker is producing 50-90 cubes a
day?

If your ice maker is not producing enough ice, please try
the following:
Lower the freezer temperature. The freezer temperature
must be 0°C for the ice maker to work properly
Make sure that the water valve on the refrigerator water
supply line is completely open. You can find the water
valve at the point that your refrigerator water supply line
taps into your house water line
If you have a water filter in your refrigerator, it may help
to change the filter cartridge. Please consult your user
manual for more information
Make sure that your freezer is not overfilled. This can
reduce ice production

#3 How to make your ice maker produce more than 120 cubes
a day?

An ice maker typically makes 1 tray of ice every 90
minutes. To shorten the amount of time the freezer
takes to produce a tray of ice, lower the freezer
temperature
If your refrigerator has a Power Freeze function, press
the Power Freeze button to speed up the ice-making
process.
In Power Freeze mode both the compressor and the
freezer fan run for 10 hours continuously. The ice-
making interval will be reduced from 90 minutes to 55
minutes. If the ice bucket fills in fewer than 10 hours,
then Power Freeze will stop automatically
If you are experiencing a different issue with your ice
maker, follow the steps below or refer to your user
manual for more information.

#4 The sides of my refrigerator feel hot. Is this normal?

You may notice that the outside of your fridge feels
warm. This is caused by the heat dissipated from the
refrigeration process and is normal.
If your fridge feels warmer than it should, it may be the
spacing between your fridge and it’s surroundings.
Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 50 mm of
space free around the sides and at the back of the unit
and then at least 25 mm space at the top. Also, check to
see to see if there are any nearby heat sources that
could contribute to the increase in surface temperature.

#5 Why is my refrigerator making noise?

No refrigerator is ever completely silent, however it
should never be so loud that you are unable to hold a
conversation in the kitchen.
There are many different noises that your refrigerator
can make, and each can mean a different thing. Look for
the noise your fridge is making below for more advice.
