Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung French Door Refrigerator

We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

• A location with easy access to a water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a leveled floor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• A location that allows sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50 ºF (10 ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

When moving your refrigerator

Caution : To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs are in the up position (above the floor). Refer to ‘Adjusting the Level’ in the manual (on page 15).

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc

FLOORING

For proper installation, you must place this refrigerator on a level, hard surface that is the same height as the rest of the floor. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 286.6 lbs (130 kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, you need to pull and push it straight forwards or back. Do not wiggle it from side to side.

ACCESSORIES AND REQUIRED TOOLS

The following accessories are included with your refrigerator:

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

USING THE COLD WATER DISPENSER

Using the Water dispenser (RF221**

Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out. If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water filter, Flush 11 L through filter before use (flush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure water flows cleanly before drinking.
