STEP 5 Connect the water dispenser line
A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water lter removes unwanted particles from your water.
However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.
The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, a
water pressure of 20-125 psi is required.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can
install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the
refrigerator is properly lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water
runs from the water outlet.
NOTE
• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We
recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 6 mm
(
1
/4”) compression nut.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the lter before drinking or using the water from
the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To ush, press a large glass or cup
against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.
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 rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure
all impurities have been removed from the water line.
NOTE
Only connect the water line to a potable 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.
• You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the
water dispenser can ll a 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response)
When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy
Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of
some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.
NOTE
• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the
Override On/Off function.
• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with
your electric utility company.
In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the
service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management
System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy prole).
Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function
This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company
and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off-
peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.
If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will
display the DAL (L3) ~ TALR (L4) levels on the refrigerator display and control the power
consumption according to the level.
Exception condition: The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as
long as product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the
refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction
mode.
• Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a
moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls
functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running
the defrost cycle, and making ice.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time
stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Override function is
turned on.
Untitled-4 47 2017-01-19 11:56:54
Operations
English48
Operations
• Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal
by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy
consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a
lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.
- TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration
(max. 15 minutes), or when the Override function is turned on. The mode is
immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the
door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
To check the MAC address
1. Tap the Settings icon on the Home screen.
2. Scroll down to and open About Device.
3. The screen displays (among others) the Wi-Fi MAC address.
Override Mode
When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal
from the utility company, you can activate OVERRIDE mode.
When you activate OVERRIDE mode, the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID (Demand
Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.
Activating and deactivating Override mode
1. Tap the Fridge Manager icon.
2. On the bottom of the Fridge Manager screen, tap the Fridge Settings icon.
3. Tap Demand Response.
4. Slide the DAL/TALR override button to the ON or OFF position.

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 run at least 24 hours without dispensing ice for 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.
Diagnosis
If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.
To 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 the 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 before using the ice
maker again.

1. Hold the bottom of the ice bucket with
one hand and hold the side with the
other hand.
2. Gently lift it up and pull out.
3. Remove the remaining ice cubes, and
then put the ice bucket back into place.
If the bucket does not t in, turn the helix
screw 90 degrees, and then try again.
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.
Wine Rack
The refrigerator ships with a wine rack, which can be positioned in one of 3 positions:
under the shelf, in the partition guide, or on top of the sliding shelf of the FlexZone. The
position or positions available to you depends on your model.
CAUTION
When you remove or insert the wine rack, make sure that the wine rack is empty.
Under the shelf
Insert the wine rack under the shelf of the
fridge. Make sure to insert it all the way to
the end as shown in the gure.
