Features of your new Refrigerator
KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
Your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator comes equipped with many space-saving, innovative storage and
energy-efficient features.
• Twin Cooling Plus™
The Refrigerator and Freezer have separate evaporators. Due to this independent cooling system,
the Freezer and Refrigerator cool more efficiently. Additionally, this separate air flow system
prevents food odor of one compartment from seeping into other compartments.
• Multi Airflow
Provides even cooling throughout the refrigerator to maintain optimal temperatures
to keep food fresh.
• LED Tower Lighting
See everything in a new light with LED tower lighting.
• Premium Design Ice and Water Dispenser
Quick and easy access to filtered water and cubed/crushed ice with the external dispenser.
• External Digital Display and Control
Controlling the refrigerator is easy with the external digital display. It shows the inside
temperatures, when to change your filter and also controls the ice and water dispenser.
• Clear View Icemaker
The Icemaker is located in the freezer door, this ensures that all the freezer shelf space can be
fully utilized. Ice cubes are quickly produced and the clear ice bucket lets you easily see the
amount of ice cubes produced.
• Auto-moisture Drawer
A “Shape Memory Polymer” is equipped on the “Auto-moisture Drawer(crisper)”, which provides
automatic humidity control. To maintain the optimal humidity in the crisper, the fine-mesh holes in
the polymer control the flow of moisture.
For easy future reference write the model and serial
number down. You will find your model number on
the left hand side wall of the refrigerator.

CHECKING 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.
In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi (pound per square inch) is
required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
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.
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply
kit that contains copper tubing.
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, drinking water line.
3. After connecting the water supply to the water filter, turn your main water supply back on and flush four
or more gallons into a bucket to clear and prime the water filter.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
Connecting the water 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.
• 1/4” compression nut • plastic tubing
• copper tubing • ferrule
1. Slip the compression nut through the supplied plastic tubing .
2. Tighten the compression nut onto the 1/4” compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (not included) and ferrule (not included)
on copper tubing (not included) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing , insert the molded end of the plastic tubing into the
compression fitting.
3. Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut .
4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
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.
Installing the water filter.
Before installing the water filter, please remove the
top shelf.
1. Remove the water filter cover( 1)
2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter
clockwise. Keep the cap in a safe place for later use
if you don’t use a filter.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown.
Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months
in the future. For example, if you install the water
filter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to
remind you to replace in September. That way you’ll
know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a
filter life is about 6 months.

4. Remove the filter cap and insert the filter
into the filter housing.
5. Slowly turn the water filter 90º clockwise
to align with the printing mark on the
cover, locking the filter in position. Make
sure to align the water filter label mark
with center of cover filter printing as
illustrated. Remember, do not over-
tighten.
Removing any residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing filter.
1. Turn ON the main water supply.
2. Press the water button and push the disperser pad.
3. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx.
3L). 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.
A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly
spurt from the water dispenser. This is due to air getting into the
line. It should pose no problem to operation.
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1. Lift up the icemaker cover and gently pull it out.
2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds, the ice cube container is filled with water from the
water supply tap. Check to make sure the amount of water is correct(see the illustration below).
If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small. This is a water pressure problem from
within the main water pipes, not the refrigerator.
- It will take a few minutes to reach the amount of water you want.
- Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water.
Water may overflow or ice jamming may occur.
- When the bucket is not installed, the ice maker does not work.
- When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s
installed properly.

Ice Off
This icon will light up when you activate the “Ice Off” feature. In this case, the ice will not be produced.
When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly.
Child Lock
This icon will light up when you activate the “Lock” feature. In this case, you won’t be able to use the
control panel. If you press and hold the Ice Off/Hold 3 sec for Child Lock Button you will be able to
use the control panel again.
Canceling Cooling Off Mode (“OF & OF” code on the display)
This function is for store display. It is not for customer use.
In case of Cooling Off Mode, It seems working but doesn’t make cool air. To cancel this
mode, press the Power Freeze and Freezer buttons at the same time for 3 seconds
until “Ding-dong” sounds.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
Basic Temperature of Freezer and Fridge
The basic and recommended temperature of Freezer and Fridge compartments are -4ºF/38ºF.
If the temperature of Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature
manually.
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The freezer temperature can be set between 8ºF and -14ºF to suit your particular needs. Press the
Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in
mind that foods like ice cream may melt at 4ºF.
The temperature display will move sequentially from 8ºF and -14ºF. When the display reaches 8ºF, it
will begin again at -14ºF.
Five seconds after the new temperature is set the display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature. However, this number will change as the Freezer adjusts to the new temperature.
Controlling the Fridge temperature
The refrigerator temperature can be set between 46ºF and 34ºF to suit your particular needs. Press
the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.
The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process.
Press the Fridge button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin
tracking towards the newly set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
- The temperature of the freezer or the refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too
frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.
- This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the freezer and refrigerator return to their
normal set temperatures the blinking will stop.
- If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset” the refrigerator. Try unplugging the
appliance, wait about 10 minutes and then plug back in.
