Using the ice and cold water dispenser

To get colder water
- The dispensed water is cool, not icy cold.
- When you want colder water, dispense ice into your glass first before filling it with water to prevent water from splashing out.
Using the ice dispenser
Press the Ice button to select the type of ice you want.
Place your glass under the ice outlet, and then push gently against the dispenser pad.
Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the ice from bouncing out.
When cubed ice is selected after you have dispensed crushed ice, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
Storing food
The Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator has been designed to provide you with maximum space saving features and functions.
Here are some of the customized compartments we have created to keep your food fresher, longer.
Important : To prevent odors from penetrating the ice in the ice maker, store all food securely in wraps or containers that are as airtight as possible.
Storing Food in the Freezer
| 01 Xtra Space |
Can be used for frozen foods such as pizza, pasta, burritos, and fajitas. To prevent odor penetration of the ice, stored food should be wrapped securely. |
| 02 Door Bins | Can be used for small packages of frozen food. |
| 03 Wire Shelf | Can be used to store frozen food. |
| 04 Freezer Drawer | Best used for storing meat or other frozen items. For safe keeping, stored food should be wrapped securely in foil or other suitable wrapping materials or containers. |
Storing Food in the Fridge
| 05 Fruit & Vegetable Drawer | Used to preserve the freshness of your stored vegetables and fruits. |
| 06 Door Bin | Designed to handle large, bulky items such as gallons of milk or other large bottles and containers. |
| 07 Glass Shelf |
Designed to be crack-resistant. They can be used to store food and drinks. Circular marks on the glass surface are a normal phenomenon and can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth. |
| 08 Dairy Bin | Can be used to store smaller dairy items like butter or margarine, yogurt, or cream-cheese bricks. |
Removing the freezer/fridge accessories
1. Door Bins
To remove, firmly grab the door bin with both hands and lift it up gently.
2. Shelves
Pull the shelf out as far as it goes. Then lift it up and remove it. (Wire Shelf/Glass Shelf)

Cleaning the refrigerator
Caring for your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it odor and germ-free
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 on 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.
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 door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
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.
Changing the water filter
NOTE
- Replace the water filter when the water filter indicator turns red. The water filter is located on the bottom right side of the refrigerator.
- To make changing the water filter easier, you may want to shut off the water supply, and then drain any water remaining in the water line by pressing the Water button and then pressing a glass against the water dispenser pad.
1. Turn the water filter 90˚ counter clockwise.
2. Pull the water filter out of the filter housing.
3. Insert a new water filter into the filter housing.
4. Turn the new water filter 90° clockwise.
5. Press and hold the Water button for 3 seconds after changing the filter to reset the filter indicator. Confirm the indicator turns blue. When you replace the water filter, some water may leak from the water filter housing. Make sure to wipe up any leakage that may have occurred.
Removing residual matter from inside the water supply line after installing a new filter
1. Turn ON the main water supply.
2. Press the Water button on the control panel. Place a cup or glass under the water outlet, and then push the cup or glass against the dispenser pad until you hear a “click”.
3. Flush 3 gallons of water through the filter. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.
4. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
5. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
NOTE
- A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the water dispenser. This is the result of air getting into the line. It poses no problem to the operation of the refrigerator.
