Using the Water lever ( 2 )

Push the Water lever dispenser ( 2 ) gently with your glass. Water will be released from the dispenser.

Even if you push the water and Ice lever simultaneously, the dispenser operates only the option you selected or pushed first.

Using the Ice & Water Dispenser together

To get Ice and water, push the Ice lever ( 1 ) fi rst for ice, then move your glass down and press the water dispenser lever ( 2 ) for water.

Do not pull the lever out. You could damage or break the lever's spring.

To clean the ice bin/bucket, wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
When you select Cubed Ice after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
In case ice doesn’t come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker.
Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam the bucket.
Normal Use

To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, follow these steps:

1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day). - Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.

2. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.

3. After 8, and then 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

When you press the Test button, you will hear the refrigerator chime (ding-dong). When the chime sounds, release the Test button.
The chime sounds automatically again to let you know the ice maker is working well.

If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt then freeze together when the power comes back on, causing the dispenser to be out of order.

To prevent this problem, after a power failure, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.

After you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you should press the dispenser lever once with the ‘ICE CUBED’ or ‘CRUSHED’ function ON. The ice maker will make new ice faster after you return the ice bucket in the refrigerator.

If you use all the ice at once, you must repeat Steps 2 and 3 on the previous page. However, only wait 8 hours before dispensing the fi rst 4 to 6 ice cubes. This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

USING THE ICE OFF FUNCTION

When you select the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket. If you are not using the ice dispenser, the ice cubes may clump together. Pull the lock lever forward to remove the bucket. Throw away the ice cubes or clumped ice. Push the bucket back until you hear a click.

Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualifi ed person. Connect to a potable water supply only.

To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi is required.

If you have a long vacation or business trip and won’t use the water or ice dispensers for a long time:

Close the water valve. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
Remove all food.
Unplug the refrigerator.
Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open. Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.

Do not put your fi ngers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket.

It may result in personal injury or material damage.

Never put your fi nger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.

It may cause injury.

Do not try to disassemble the ice maker. Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water while it is in the refrigerator. Remove it to clean it.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to the refrigerator fl ows through the core fi lter which is an alkaline water fi lter. In the fi ltering process, the pressure of the water that has fl owed out of the fi lter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. When this water fl ows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after dispensing ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes. When you select “Crushed”, the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.

PARTS AND FEATURES

Use this page to become more familiar with the parts and features of the refrigerator.

When closing the door, make sure the Vertical Hinged Section is in the correct position to avoid scratching the other door.

If the Vertical Hinged Section is reversed, put it back to the right position and close the door. Moisture may appear at times on the Vertical Hinged Section.

The door handle may become loose over time. If this happens, tighten the bolts found on the inside of the door.

If you close one door with a lot of force, the other door may open.

When the door opens, the interlock switch automatically turns off the auger motor in the ice maker for safety reasons.

When the interior or exterior LED lamp has gone out, please contact your service agents.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caring for your Samsung French Door Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep the refrigerator free of odor and germs.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just make sure to dry drawers and shelves before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the control panel and digital display with a damp, clean, soft cloth. Do not spray water directly on the surface of the refrigerator. The doors, handles and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, polish the exterior once or twice a year.

Do not spray water directly or not use a wet or damp cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or Clorox for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause a fire.

Printed letters on the display may be erased if the stainless cleaner is applied directly to the area where the letters are printed.

Cleaning the Ice / Water Dispenser

Push down one end of the tray dispenser and remove it. Wipe the Ice / Water Dispenser with a clean and soft cloth.

When using the crushed ice selection from the dispenser some residual ice chips may start to collect in the ice chute. In order to prevent that residual ice from melting and running out of the chute you should clean out the residual ice when you see it start to collect in the ice chute.

Cleaning the Rubber door seals

If the rubber door seals are dirty, the doors may not close properly, and the refrigerator will not operate effi ciently. Keep the door seals free of dust or stain by cleaning the doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.	Check that the power plug is properly connected. Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder. Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source? Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
The food in the fridge is frozen.	Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low. Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature. Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer. Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.	Check that the refrigerator is level and stable. Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation? Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall. Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator? A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior. If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.
The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.	Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation. Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.
Ice Maker is not producing ice.	Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice? Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? Did you manually stop the ice making function? Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.	This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.	Check for spoiled food. Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered. Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.
Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.	Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely. Allow sufficient space between the stored foods for efficient air circulation. Is the freezer drawer closed properly?
Water dispenser is not functioning.	Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction. Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.
Auto close system does not work with the freezer door	Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door? Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again. Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door.
Condensation or water drops forms on both sides of fridge door’s central part.	Condensation or water drops may form if the humidity is too high while the refrigerator is operating. If condensation or water drops appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation.
