Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual-
ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator
does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
Multi-Flow System
• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This pro-
vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food
fresh longer.
Xtra Space TM
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.
Door Alarm
• Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra Fresh TM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.
CoolSelect Zone TM Drawer (RS267/RS269)
• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly
chill, thaw and cool items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control
the temperature of drawer.

The water "Filter Indicator" light
•"Filter Indicator'' light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. The light
will change from green to orange. This tells you that it is almost time to change the current cartridge.
It is recommended that you replace the cartridge when the light changes to red.
(see "Install the water filter'' section for more information)
• If you install water filter, throw away the first six glassfulls of water filter, or until water flows clearly to
flush impurities in the water supply system.
Using the dispenser without the water filter
•You can not use the water and ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line
blocks at water supply.
Ordering replacement filters
• To order more water filter cartridges, call 1-800-SAMSUNG and ask for accessory Part # DA29-
00003A or contact your authorized Samsung dealer.
The refrigerator doors have a special door opening and closing feature to make sure that they close all
the way and are securely sealed.
When opening the door, it will only open so far. After reaching a certain point, it will remain open.
When the door is partially open, it will close automatically.
The refrigerator should be properly installed & leveled.
