  1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
  2. Dispense the first 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 first glass-full of ice.

To fill the water tank (applicable models only)

For first-time use, clean the inner side of the water tank and dry well.

  1. Hold both handgrips on the front of the tank, and slide out as shown.
  2. Open the front lid (A) of the cover or the entire cover (B) and fill the tank with a max of 5 litres water. CAUTION Do not exceed the max line. Water overflows.

  • NOTE
    • Removing the drawers does not affect the temperature or usage of the freezer.
    • The declared freezer volume is measured with the bottom shelf, after removing the upper drawer, lower drawer, and lower drawer cover.
  • For more space, remove the water tank and use the space to store more items

Icemaker bucket

If you do not dispense ice for an extended period, ice may form clumps inside the bucket. If this happens, remove and empty the icemaker bucket.

Shelves (fridge/freezer)

  • To remove a shelf, fully open the corresponding door. Hold the front of the shelf and gently lift up and slide out.
  • If the door cannot fully open, slide out the shelf half way to the front and turn it over to remove.

CAUTION

  • The shelf must be inserted correctly. Do not insert upside down.

Icemaker bucket

  • To remove the ice maker bucket, see the Icemaker bucket section on page 53.

Cleaning

Interior and exterior

WARNING

  • Do not use benzene, thinner, or home/car detergent such as Clorox™ for cleaning purposes. They may damage the surface of the refrigerator and cause a fire.
  • Do not spray water onto the refrigerator. This may cause electric shock.
  • Do not put fingers or other objects into the dispenser hole.

Regularly use a dry cloth to remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points.

  1. Unplug the power cord.
  2. Use a moistened, soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel to clean the refrigerator’s interior and exterior.
  3. When done, use a dry cloth or paper towel to dry well.
  4. Plug in the power cord.

Ice / Water dispenser (applicable models only)

  • NOTE For hygienic purposes, frequently clean the dispenser area. CAUTION When crushed ice is selected, some residual ice chips may collect in the ice chute. To prevent this, remove the residual ice from the chute using a soft, clean cloth.

Rubber seals

  • If the rubber seals of a door become dirty, the door may not close properly and reducing refrigerator performance and efficiency. Use a mild detergent and damp cloth to clean the rubber seals. Then, dry well with a cloth.

Rear panel

  • To keep cords and exposed parts of the rear panel free of dirt, vacuum the panel once or twice a year.
  • CAUTION: Do not remove the rear panel cover. Electric shock may occur.

Replacement

Water filter (applicable models only)

CAUTION

  • Do not use third-party water filters. Use only Samsung-provided or -approved filters.
  • Unapproved filters may leak and damage the refrigerator, causing electric shock. Samsung holds no responsibility for any damage that may occur from use of third party water filters.
  • The filter indicator turns red as a reminder that lets you know it is time to replace the water filter.

  1. Shut off the main water supply.
  2. Connect the water supply line to the inlet side of the filter to the end.
  3. Connect the dispenser line to the outlet side of the filter.
  4. Check if there is any leak. If not, fix the lines with the clips.
  5. Put the water filter into place and fix it with the clips.
  6. Press and hold Filter Reset for 3 seconds to reset the filter lifecycle.
  7. When replacing is complete, flush 1 litre of water to remove impurities from the water line.

CAUTION: When adjusting the length of the water line tubing, make sure to smooth out the cut surface at a right angle. This is to prevent a water leak.

NOTE

  • A newly installed filter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briefly. This is because air has entered the water line.
  • This replacement process may involve the refrigerator to drip water onto the floor. If this happens, wipe up with dry cloths.

Reverse osmosis water filtration system: The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water filtration system must be between 206 kPa (30 psi) and 861 kPa (125 psi). The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water filtration system to the refrigerator’s cold water line must be at least 206 kPa (30 psi). If the water pressure is below the specified:

  • Check if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
  • Refill the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
  • 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. For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.

Ordering a new filter: To purchase a new water filter (part type: HAFEX/EXP), contact a local Samsung service centre.

Deodorizer filter

  • Put the flat-head driver in the groove on the bottom of the deodorizer filter cover, and pry up. Replace the filter, and then put the filter cover back.
  • The recommended usage period of the deodorizer filter is one year, and the period may vary depending on your usage. You can purchase the deodorizer filter separately from the service center.

Lamps: The lamps are not user-serviceable. To replace the lamps of the refrigerator, contact a local Samsung service centre.

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

1. These sounds are normal.

  • When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

  • While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

  • During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds

  • As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

  • As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working

  • For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.
  • Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.
