  • 2. Insert the 2 clips in the install pack as shown below, and then confirm that each clip holds the line firmly.

CAUTION Make sure the color of the water lines match.

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. If the refrigerator is not level, you will not be able to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause moisture condensation and increased energy bills.

The front of the refrigerator is also adjustable.

Before levelling the refrigerator, remove the front leg cover.

Open both the freezer and refrigerator doors. Unscrew the three screws holding the front leg cover in place by turning them counter-clockwise. When the screws are loose, remove the front leg cover.

When the Freezer part is lower than the Fridge part.

Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a slot on the Freezer Leg, then turn it clockwise.

When the Fridge part is lower than the Freezer part.

Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a slot on the Fridge Leg, then turn it clockwise.

Refer to the next section for the best way to make very minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS

A level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. Make sure your refrigerator is level before you begin. If you need help leveling, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

The process for adjusting each door is the same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as follows:

1. Unscrew the nut ( 1 ) from the lower hinge until it reaches the upper end of the bolt ( 2 ).

When you release the nut ( 1 ), make sure that you use the hex wrench provided ( 3 ) to loosen the bolt ( 2 ) in a counterclockwise ( ) direction. You should then be able to unscrew the nut ( 1 ) with your fingers.

2. Adjust the height difference between the doors by turning the bolt ( 2 ) clockwise ( ) or counter clockwise ( ).

When you turn clockwise ( ), the door will move up.

3. After adjusting the doors, turn the nut ( 1 ) clockwise ( ) until it reaches the lower end of the bolt, then tighten the bolt again with the wrench ( 3 ) to fix the nut in place ( 1 ).

If you do not secure the nut firmly, the bolt may release.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new Samsung Refrigerator.

To help promote better health, the Samsung water filter removes unwanted particles from your water.

However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms.

You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125 psi (138 ~ 862 kPa) is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled.

To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water dispenser.

• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.

• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

Connecting to the water supply line

  1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.
  2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking water line.
  3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.
  4. Connect the water line installation kit to the shut off valve.

Connecting the water supply line to the refrigerator

There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing ( B ), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ) into the compression fitting.

CAUTION Do not use plastic tubing ( B ) without the molded end (Bulb).

2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leaks inside the refrigerator, around the water filter, and in any connection areas. If you find water drops or leaks, turn off the main water supply. If the leaks are in the connection areas, check the connections and, if necessary, tighten. If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check the water filter and confirm it is in the locked position. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks again.

4. Plug in the refrigerator.

5. Flush 3 gallons of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

To flush, press the Water button, and then press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

6. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

• After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.

• Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

• You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can fill a 5.75 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.

2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.

3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the temperatures you want.

4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

If condensation or water drops appear on both sides of the fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. (See the explanation of the Energy Saver button in “Using the Control Panel” on page 19.)

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caring for your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator prolongs its life and helps keep it odor and germfree.

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 them before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth. Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the refrigerator. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. 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, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.

WARNING Do not use benzene, thinner, or Clorox™ to clean the refrigerator. These chemicals can damage the surface of the refrigerator and can create a risk of fire.

Cleaning the rubber door seals

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

CAUTION Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged in, as it may cause an electric shock. Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner or car detergent as there is a risk of fire.

Changing the LED type lighting

CAUTION Do not disassemble or replace the LED type lighting. To change the LED type lighting, contact a Samsung service center.

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

- If ice does not come out, check for any ice stuck in the chute and remove it.

- The first batch of ice cubes after installation may be small because air has entered the water line. Any air will be purged during normal use.

CAUTION

  • When Ice Off blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly.
  • When the door is open, the Ice and water dispenser do not work.
  • If you close the door hard, it may cause water to spill over the ice maker.
  • To prevent the ice bucket from falling, use both hands when removing it.
  • To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any ice or water that may have dropped on the floor.
  • Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser or on the bucket. They may get hurt.
  • Be sure not to put your hand or any object into the ice chute.
  • It may cause personal injury or damage mechanical parts.
  • Use care when storing food in plastic bags in the freezer. Incorrectly stored bags can get caught in the ice bucket’s Auger Motor and prevent the refrigerator from dispensing ice or cause the freezer door to open unexpectedly

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.

• Confirm that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?

• Check if the Cooling Off function is on. If the Freezer/Fridge temperature indicator is moving, refer to page 20 to cancel the Cooling Off function.

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Confirm that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• If the refrigerator’s water supply line is not connected and water is not being supplied to the refrigerator, the refrigerator will make unusual noises if the ice maker is on or if you push the water dispenser lever. To stop the noises, press the Ice Type button for 3 seconds until the Ice Off icon lights indicating that the ice maker is off.

• You hear a ticking sound from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs because various parts contract or expand in response to temperature changes in the refrigerator interior.

The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners 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 is not dispensing.

• 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 open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure Ice Type is set to Cubed or Crushed.

• Is there any ice clumped within the ice maker bucket? If yes, remove the clumped ice.

• 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 the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect 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 foods stored for efficient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
