CAUTION

• We recommend consuming fruit infused water within 24 hours. After that, the infused water can spoil over time.
• You must clean the water pitcher after you have consumed the infused water. Also clean the water pitcher if you haven't used it for a long time.
• To prevent the water pitcher from tipping over or leaking, make sure the water pitcher fits in the water pitcher holder.
• To prevent the water pitcher from spilling over or leaking, make sure the infuser holder is properly inserted.

NOTE

• If the front side (specifically marked area) of the water pitcher has too much moisture, the water pitcher may not fully fill. Remove the moisture, and then try again.
• Autofill Pitcher function will stop supplying water to the water pitcher if the water pitcher does not fill after a certain amount of time. If this happens, check if the water line is properly connected. Remove and reinsert the water pitcher, and then try again.

NOTE

• Wipe around the water pitcher holder if the water pitcher overflows or leaks.
• Water drops off if the rubber cap is opened.
• An alert message appears on the control panel if there is a leak. In case of a leak, open the rubber cap so that the leaked water drains. If the alert message does not disappear after draining, there might be a system failure. Contact your local Samsung service center.

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.
• Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the dispensed water from 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 first 1-2 glasses of water.

Water clouding

• Water supplied to the refrigerator flows through a core alkaline filter. During this filtering 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.

Auto Ice maker (applicable models only)

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 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

• The overall design and/or accessories may differ with the model.
• If ice does not dispense, first check the status of ice maker using the Test button on the bottom of the ice maker.
• Press the Test button on the back of the ice maker. You will hear a chime (dingdong) when you press the button. You will hear another chime if the ice maker is operating properly.

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

• 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.

Reverse osmosis water filtration system

The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water filtration system must be between 206-861 kPa.

The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water filtration system to the refrigerator’s cold water line must be at least 206 kPa. If the water pressure is below these specifications:

• 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.

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.
