Water dispenser (applicable models only)
To dispense chilled water, open the
Beverage Center and press the dispenser
lever.
NOTE
• The dispenser will stop dispensing if you keep pushing the dispenser lever for about
1 minute. To dispense more water, release and push the lever again.

spilling out.
• If you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days, the dispensed water may have an
abnormal smell or taste. This is not a system failure. Discard the rst 1-2 glasses of
water.
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.

Ice maker
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice.
• The overall design and/or accessories may differ with the model.
• This product has two types of ice
makers.
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.
For rst-time use
• Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days.
• Discard the rst 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system.
Diagnosis
• The overall design and/or accessories
may differ with the model.
• If ice does not dispense, rst check
the status of ice maker using the Test
button on the bottom of the ice maker.
• Press the Test button on the bottom of
the ice maker. You will hear a chime
(ding-dong) when you press the button.
You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.

Operations
CAUTION
• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing
sound over time. If this is the case, make sure to turn the ice making function (Cubed
Ice / Ice Bites ) off.
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local
Samsung service center.
• 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
refrigerator.
• Do not put ngers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or
property damage.
• Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then
forms large ice chunks. Therefore, if it will be a long time before you use ice, turn the
ice maker off as follows.
• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
