Special features

Water dispenser

The dispenser lets you conveniently enjoy chilled water.

To dispense chilled water, put a water glass on the dispenser lever and push it. Chilled water will be dispensed from the dispenser.

CAUTION

• For first-time use or after you have replaced the water filter, dispense 3 gallons of water (for about 6 minutes) to remove impurities from the water line beforehand.
• If you are going for a business trip or leave home for an extended period of time, shut off the water supply to the refrigerator and close the water valve. This will help prevent an accidental leak.

NOTE

• To prevent spills, wait a second before removing the glass after dispensing. Then, the dispenser lever returns to its position.
• 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.
• Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the dispensed water from spilling out.

Ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses 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:

For first-time use

• Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days.
• Discard the first 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system.

Diagnosis

If ice does not dispense, first check the status of the ice maker using the bluesiliconized Test button on the side of the ice maker.

1. See the figure and remove the marked drawer for easy access to the Test button.
   
   See other models: DRF425300AP/DA DRF427500AP/DA DOP36M96GLS DRF36C000SR/DA DRF36C000MT/DA
   
2. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
   You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when you press the button.
3. You will hear another chime if the ice maker is operating property.
   

NOTE: Ice accumulating on one side of the tray is normal. Arrange the ice evenly in the tray to store more ice.

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 off.
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local Dacor service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow 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 refrigerator.
• Do not put fingers 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.

Ice Maker Off

If you press and hold Ice Maker for 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.

Handle and care

Tempered glass shelves

To remove a shelf, fully open the corresponding door. Hold the front of the shelf, and then gently lift up and slide out.

To reinsert, hold the shelf at an angle so the front is higher than the back, and then insert the top hook into the top shelf notch. Then, lower the shelf and insert the bottom shelf hook into the bottom shelf notch.

Door bins

To remove, lift up the door bin, and then pull out straight.

The door bin may not move well at firsttime use. If this is the case, remove the inner cap of the door first, and then try again.

CAUTION: The door bin has 4 fitting holes, 2 for each side. When reinserting the door bin, make sure the 2 holes on one side of the door bin fit into 2 guiding fittings on the corresponding side of the door. In short, 4 holes of the door bin fit in 4 fittings of the door. Otherwise, the door bin cannot be inserted level.

Drawers

To remove, gently lift up the front of the drawer and slide out. We recommend that you remove the door bins before removing the drawer. This is to prevent damage to the door bins.

Replacement

Water filter

WARNING

• Do not use third-party water filters. Use only Samsung-provided or -approved filters.
• Unapproved filters may leak and damage the freezer, causing electric shock. Dacor is not responsible for any damage that may occur from use of third-party water filters.

The filter indicator ( - ) turns red to let you know it is time to replace the water filter. Before replacing the filter, make sure the water supply line is shut off.

1. Open up the Water Filter cover on the left bottom of the freezer.
2. Turn the dispenser filter counter clockwise to remove.
3. Replace with a new dispenser filter.
4. Close the Water Filter cover.
   
5. Press and hold Filter Reset on the feature panel for 3 seconds to reset the life cycle detector.
   The filter indicator ( - ) turns off.
6. When you are done replacing the filter, open the water valve and run water through the dispenser for about 7 minutes. This is to remove impurities and air from the water line.
   

NOTE

• A newly installed filter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briefly. This is because air has entered the waterline.
• The replacement process may cause the water dispenser to drip for a short period of time. If it drips, simply wipe up any water on the floor with a dry towel.

Deodorizer filter

To remove, take out the FreshZone drawer first to reveal the filter on the rear wall. Hold down the tabs of the filter to unlock and remove.

To insert, insert the rear of the filter first, and then push the front to lock into position.

NOTE: The lifecycle of the deodorizer filter is 18 months, which differs depending on the use conditions. You can purchase a new filter at a local Dacor service center.

LED Lights

To replace the LED lights on the refrigerator, contact a local service agent. Contact Dacor Customer Service at (833) 353-5483.

WARNING: The LED lights are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to replace an LED light yourself. This can cause electric shock.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

WARNING

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or home/car detergent such as Clorox™ for cleaning. 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 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.

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.
