and cause personal injury.
• Use only the ice maker provided with the
refrigerator.
• Have the refrigerator's water supply installed
by a suitably qualified person and connected
only to a potable water supply To operate
the ice maker properly, water pressure of 20
125psi is required. If you will be away from
home for a long period of time (on vacation, for
example) and won't be using the water or ice
dispensers, close the water valve.
Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
• Ifyou won't be using the refrigerator for a very
long period of time, (3 weeks or more) empty
the refrigerator, unplug it, close the water
valve, wipe excess moisture from the inside
walls, and leave the doors open to prevent
odors and mold.
• Service Warranty and Modification.
- Any changes or modifications
performed by a 3rd party on this

Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily climb inside.
Children trapped inside a refrigerator can hurt
themselves or suffocate to death.
• Please dispose of the packaging material from
this product in an environmentally friendly
manner.
06 Safety informaton
• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of
the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant.
Check the compressor label on the rear of
the appliance or the rating label inside the

refrigerator. Ifthis product contains flammable
gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local
authority in regard to safe disposal of this
product.
• When disposing of this refrigerator, remove
the door/door seals and door latch so that
small children or animals cannot become
trapped inside. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
If trapped inside, the child may get hurt or
suffocate to death.
• Cyclopentane is used in the insulation. The
gases in the insulation material require a
special disposal procedure. Please contact
your local authorities in regard to the
environmentally safe disposal of this product.
• Keep all packaging materials well out of the
reach of children, as packaging materials can
be dangerous to children.
If a child places a bag over his or her head, the
child could suffocate.
11_ ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
office of your Electricity Company and ask how
long it is going to last.
Most power failures that are corrected in an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize
the number of door openings while the power
is off.
But Should the power failure last more than 24
hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys
should be kept out of the reach of children and
not be in the vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently
(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures
can become too warm in the frozen food
compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is
designed.

Saving Energy Tips
Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and never put
it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for
example).
Never block any vents or grilles on the
appliance.
Allow warm food to cool down before placing
it in the appliance.
Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
Do not keep the door of the appliance open for
too long when putting food in or taking food
out. The shorter the time the door is open, the
less frost build-up you'll have in the freezer.
Provide sufficient clearance to the right, left,
back, and top when installing for air circulation.
This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.

ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
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. Below is an example of how to level
the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is
lower than the right side.
How to adjust the Revel
1. Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower
basket.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into the notch
on the left control lever, and turn it counter-
clockwise to level the refrigerator. (Youturn the
lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and
counterclockwise to raise it.)
settng up 13

\
flat-blade screwdriver (-) Control Lever
Both control levers must be touching the
CAUT,ONfloor to avoid possible personal injury or
property damage because of tipping.
If the right side is lower, perform the same
procedure, but with the right control lever.
®It is difficult to remove the cover leg
front from the refrigerator, so we do not
recommend making small adjustments
with the control lever. Instead, refer to the
next page for the best way to make minor
adjustments to the doors.
MAKING MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
DOORS
Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary
for getting the doors perfectly even. Ifyou need
help, review the previous section on leveling the
refrigerator.
Fixed par t_
The left door is fixed. To make minor door
adjustments, adjust only the right door.
1. Pull out the flex door ( 1 ) to reveal the lower
hinge ( 2 ).
2. Insert the supplied allen wrench (5/32") (3 )
into the shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning the hex wrench
( 3 ) clockwise ( _-_..... ) or counter clockwise
(_ When you turn the hex wrench counter-
clockwise ( ), the door will move up.
INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful
features on your new refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the 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 - 862Kpa)is required.
Ifthe refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), 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 the water runs from the water
outlet.
(_ ater line installation kits are available at
extra cost from your dealer.
We recommend using a water line
installation kit that contains copper tubing
and 1A"compression nut.
Connecting to the water suppRy line
1. First, shut off the main water
supply.

CHANGING THE WATER
FILTER
Z_ To reduce the risk of water damage
WARN_NGtoyour property DO NOT use generic
brands of water filters in your SAMSUNG
Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS.
SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to,
property damage caused by water
leakage from the use of a generic
water filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators
are designed to work ONLY WITH {Red)
SAMSUNG Water Filters.
The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is
time to change your water filter cartridge.
To give you time to get a new filter, the red light
comes on just before the capacity of the current
filter runs out. Changing the filter on time provides
you with the freshest, cleanest water from your
refrigerator.
To change the water filter, follow these steps:
1. Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water
filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ).
,_ To change the water filter more easily,
shut off the water supply valve.
,_ Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water
filter because impurities in the water cause it
18 operatng
to stick. Ifyou are having difficulties, grip the
water filter firmly and pull it hard.
,_ When you pull the water filter, a little water
can leak from the opening. This is normal.
To minimize the water leaks, keep the filter
cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
,_ To prevent overflow, -_
empty the water
filter tray ( 3 ) and
dry around the filter
case (2 ).
3. Insert the new filter into the filter case ( 4 ).
4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until
it locks.
[_ ,_ Ifyou have trouble inserting the water
filter because of high water pressure,
shut off the water supply valve.
• The locked symbol should be lined up
with the indicator line.
5. Touch the "Alarm/hold
3 sec for Filter Reset" --=_J
button ((Filter Reset) ) for
about 3 seconds to reset
the water filter. The color of
the indicator ( o_ ) changes from red to off.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet
valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35
and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.) If
the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system
is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace
the filter if necessary.
+ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
+ Ifyour 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.
If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
