MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
•
The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this
independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled
individually and are, therefore, more efficient. food odor from the
refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow
circulation.
Multi-flow System
•
Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This
provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food
fresh longer.
Xtra Space
TM
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.
Door alarm
•
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra fresh
TM
• optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
CoolSelect zone
TM
Drawer (rS277)
• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly
chill, thaw and cool items. Select Soft freeze, Cool or Chill to con-
trol the temperature of drawer.
SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR
Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If-not, check
the power supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG
service center.
Set the temperature control to the cold-
est temperature and wait for an hour. The
freezer should get slightly chilled and the
motor should run smoothly.
Place the refigerator in an appropri-
ate location with reasonable clearance
between the wall and the refrigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this
manual)
once the refrigerator temperature is suf-
ficiently low, you can store food in the
refrigerator. after starting the refrigerator, it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) for the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~125 psi is required.
In this range, a 170 cc (5.74ounces) paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.
2) The water filter removes foreign particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you should install a
booster pump to compensate.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dispens-
er lever until the water runs from the outlet.
NOTE
a Water line installation kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator
manufacturer recommends that you use a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

ICE
INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the filter.
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) Lift (①) and pull out (➁) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.
2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is
filled with water from the water supply tap.
Check the amount of water (see the illustration below).
If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small.
This is not a problem with the ice maker but of the water pres-
sure in the pipe, and occurs frequently.
When this problem occurs, contact a service person to check
the amount of water supplied.
3) In case ice doesn't come out, pull out
the ice bucket and press test button
located on the bottom of ice maker.
ICE MakEr
1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off the valve of the
water supply line.
2) run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and
clear air from the lines.
3) additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around
the water filter.
•
a newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.
•
Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine shelf (

condensation occurs.
•
anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
•
Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for a long time.
Ice is not dispensed
•
Did you stop the ice making function?
•
Is there any ice in the ice storage unit?
•
Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve
open?
•
Is the freezer temperature too warm?
(Set the temperature lower)
•
Did you wait for 12 hours after installing the water
supply line before making ice?
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator
•
The bubbling comes from the refrigerant circulating
in the refrigerator and is normal.
