SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR
Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If not, check
the power supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG
service center.
Place the refigerator in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance
between the wall and the refrigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this
manual)
Set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The
freezer should get slightly chilled and the
motor should run smoothly.
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.
Once the refrigerator temperature is suffi-
ciently low, you can store food in the
refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.
MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
•
The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually
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 SpaceTM
• 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 FreshTM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.
CoolSelect ZoneTM Drawer (on some models)
• 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.
Beverage Station (on some models)
• The Beverage StationTM is convenient and reduces energy consumption,
because you do not need to open the refrigerator door to access stored
beverages and snacks.
This operation instruction covers various models.
The characteristics of your appliance may differ slightly from those described in this manual.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE
1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 1.4 ~10㎏f/㎠ is required.
In this range a 100 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 secs.
2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.
3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 1.4㎏f/㎠ ), you should install
a booster pump to compensate.
4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dis-
penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.
Water line installation kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator
manufacturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.
