RE-ASSEMBLING THE FREEZER DOOR

To reattach the drawer after you have moved the fridge to its final location, assemble the parts in reverse order.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. If the refrigerator is not level, you will not be able to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause moisture condensation and increased energy bills. Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into the notch on the left control lever, and turn it counter- clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

CAUTION: Both control levers must be touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.

NOTE: If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever.

NOTE: It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS

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

NOTE: The left door is fixed. To make minor door adjustments, adjust only the right door.

1. Pull out the flex door ( 1 ) to reveal the lower hinge ( 2 ).
2. Insert a philips screwdriver (+) ( 3 ) into the shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning a philips screwdriver (+) clockwise ( 3 ) ( ) or counterclockwise ( ).

NOTE: When you turn a philips screwdriver (+) counterclockwise ( ), the door will move up.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and 1⁄4” compression nut.

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

3. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut off valve.

Connecting the water supply line to the refrigerator.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.

CAUTION: Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.

NOTE: Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source. If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

NOTE: You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can fill a 5.75 oz. (170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want.
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

NOTE: If condensation or water drops appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. (See the explanation on Energy Saver button in the USING THE CONTROL PANEL.)

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

WARNING: To reduce the risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water filters in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.

USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS. SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by water leakage from the use of a generic water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters.

The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you time to get a new filter, the red light comes on just before the capacity of the current filter runs out. Changing the filter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator.

To change the water filter, follow these steps:

NOTE:

• To change the water filter more easily, shut off the water supply valve.
• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water filter because impurities in the water cause it to stick. If you are having difficulties, grip the water filter firmly and pull it hard.
• When you pull the water filter, a little water can leak from the opening. This is normal. To minimize the water leaks, keep the filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
• To prevent overflow, empty the water filter tray ( 3 ) and dry around the filter case ( 2 ).

NOTE:

• If you have trouble inserting the water filter because of high water pressure, shut off the water supply valve.
• The locked symbol should be lined up with the indicator line.

5. Touch the “Alarm/hold sec for Filter Reset” button ( ) for about 3 seconds to reset the water filter. The color of the indicator () changes from red to off.

NOTE: For a replacement water filter, you can visit your local home Improvement center or contact the Samsung Parts distributor. To order more water filter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer. Be sure the replacement water filter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and on the water filter.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply and supply water from water supply line.
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6 to minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.
3. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

NOTE: Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser. This means that there is still air in the line.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT:

The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.) If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and fridge compartments

The basic and recommended temperatures of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are 0°F and 37 °F (or -18 °C and 3 °C) respectively. If the temperature of the Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature manually.

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between -8 °F and 5 °F (or between -23 °C and -15 °C) to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 °F (or 1 °C) with each press. See below.

Fahrenheit : 0 °F ➞ -1 °F ➞ -2 °F ➞ -3 °F ➞ -4 °F ➞ -5 °F ➞ -6 °F ➞ -7 °F ➞ -8 °F ➞ 5 °F ➞ 4 °F ➞ 3 °F ➞ 2 °F ➞ 1 °F ➞ 0 °F.

Centigrade : -18 °C ➞ -19 °C ➞ -20 °C ➞ -21 °C ➞ -22 °C ➞ -23 °C ➞ -15 °C ➞ -16 °C ➞ -17 °C ➞ -18 °C.

Keep in mind that foods like some ice cream may melt at 4 °F (or -15.5 °C). The temperature display will move sequentially from -8 °F to 5 °F (or from -23 °C to -15 °C).

Controlling the fridge temperature

The fridge temperature can be set between 34 °F and 44 °F (or between 1 °C and 7 °C) to suit your particular needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will change by 1 °F (or 1 °C) with each press. See below.

Maintaining the Ice Bucket

• To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ice is made in cubes. When you select "Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.
• When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
• The ice cubes generated by the rapid ice making process will look white, which indicates they were generated normally.
• As the ice maker in the refrigerator room makes ice cubes even faster, move the ice cubes from the refrigerator ice bin to the freezer ice bin if you need more ice cubes.
• If ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker. See the illustration below.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.

Making Ice

• To fill 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 the glass.

3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

• To test the ice maker, press the Test button on the ice maker. You will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button.
• The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well.

CAUTION: If you want to remove the ice cubes without using the ice bucket, please turn the ice maker off and remove the ice maker’s front cover from the ice maker. Note that the ice cubes in the ice maker can spill out over the drawer.

CAUTION: Do not put food in the ice bucket. If you store food in the ice bucket, the food can strike the ice maker when you open or close the door, causing damage to the ice maker.

CAUTION: Note that the ice cubes in the ice bucket may spill out over the drawer when you remove the ice bucket from the drawer. If this occurs, be sure to clear the ice cubes that spilled out of the drawer. If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt, and then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to stop working.

To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.

NOTE: If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat ice making Steps 2 and 3, left. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

Using the ice off Function

NOTE: If the ice bucket is not pushed firmly into place, ice in the bucket can melt.

If the bucket does not fit, turn the helix 90 degree see the last illustration on the right, below) and try again.

CAUTION:

• The inside of the ice bucket is very cold when the refrigerator is operating. Do not reach deep inside the ice bucket.
• Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualified person. Connect to a potable water supply only.
• To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi is required.

Going on vacation...

If you have a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:

Ice Maker Do’s and Don’ts

• Do not put your fingers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket

- It may result in personal injury or material damage.

• Never put your finger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.

- It may cause injury.

• Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
• Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it

CAUTION: When you insert the Ice maker tray, be sure that the tray is well centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray may get stuck.

Water clouding phenomenon

NOTE: All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

PARTS AND FEATURES

Review the illustration below to become more familiar with the parts and features of your refrigerator.

NOTE: When closing the door, make sure the Vertical Hinged Section is in the correct position to avoid scratching the other door. If the Vertical Hinged Section is reversed, put it back to the right position and close the door. Moisture may appear at times on the Vertical Hinged Section. The door handle may become loose over time. If this happens, tighten the bolts found on the inside of the door. If you close one door with too much force, the other door may open.

NOTE: When the door opens, the interlock switch automatically turns off the auger motor in the ice maker for safety reasons.

If the interior or exterior LED lamp has gone out, please contact your service agent.

USING FLEX ZONE

The Flex Zone is a full-width drawer with an adjustable temperature control. You can use the Flex Zone for large party trays, deli items, wines, pizzas, beverages, or miscellaneous items.

Cleaning the Ice / Water Dispenser

Push down one end of the tray dispenser and remove it. Wipe the Ice / Water Dispenser with a clean, soft cloth.

CAUTION: When using the crushed ice selection from the dispenser some residual ice chips may start to collect in the ice chute. To prevent that residual ice from melting and running out of the chute, you should clean out the residual ice when you see it start to collect in the ice chute.

Cleaning the Rubber door seals

If the rubber door seals are dirty, the doors may not close properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the door seals free of dust or stains by cleaning the doors using a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

CAUTION: Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner, or car detergent. These substances could cause a fire.

Cleaning the rear side of the refrigerator

To keep cords and exposed parts free of dust and dirt accumulation, vacuum the rear side of the appliance once or twice a year.

CAUTION: Do not remove the back cover ( 1 ). You could suffer an electric shock.

Troubleshooting

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
• Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

The cabinet- door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installing the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sufficient space between the stored food for efficient air circulation.
• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• 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 fridge temperature is too low?
• Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.
• Is the Child Lock on?

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?
• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again.
• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door.

Condensation or water drops forms on both sides of fridge door’s central part.

• Condensation or water drops may form if the humidity is too high while the refrigerator is operating.
• If condensation or water drops appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. See the explanation on Energy Saver button in the USING THE CONTROL PANEL.)
