CHeCKing tHe water DisPenser Line (oPtionaL)
A water dispenser is just 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 will need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
In order for the icemaker to operate properly, water pressure of 138 ~862 Kpa is required. Under normal
conditions, a 170 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 138 Kpa), 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 included with unit. You can find it in freezer drawer.

1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the
water supply line.
ꢀ. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear
(approx. 1L). This will clean the water supply system and
remove air from the lines.
ꢁ. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
ꢂ. 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. (Optional)
1. Lift up the icemaker bucket and gently pull out of the freezer.
ꢀ. When you press the Test button, 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

ControLLing tHe teMPerature
Controlling the Freezer temperature
The freezer temperature can be set between -14°C (8°F) and -25ºC (-14°F) 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 -16ºC (4°F).
The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°C (8°F) and -25ºC (-14°F). When the
display reaches -14ºC (8°F), it will begin again at -25ºC (-14°F).
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 7ºC (46°F) and 1ºC (34°F) 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.

You can use the “Quick Cool” operation with
the CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer to quickly cool

Depending of the beverages, cool-down time may vary.
When “Quick Cool” is in operation, any items that you do NOT want affected should be
moved out of the drawer.
Thaw Button
When “thaw” is selected, warm and cold air is alternately blown into the CoolSelect Zone™
Drawer. Depending on the weight of the frozen food, you can select a 4 hrs, 6 hrs, 10 hrs, and
12 hrs thawing time.
When “thaw” ends, food is in a half-frozen
state, making it easy to cut for cooking. In
addition, when “thaw” ends, the CoolSelect
Zone™ Drawer returns to the original “0 Zone”
condition. To cancel this function mid-cycle,
just press any button besides Thaw.

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 to 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.
Do NOT use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™ for cleaning.
WARNING They may damage the surface of the appliance and can create a risk of fire.
Cleaning the Soft touch type Home Bar
Use a damp cloth to clean the ice and water dispenser.
Then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Use soft touch type Home Bar as follow
- In the case of opening the Home Bar, it will be opened
automatically when you push the upper position of Home
Bar until rattling.
- In the case of closing the Home Bar, push the upper
position of Home Bar until rattling.
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.
Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged in, as it may cause an electric
CAUTION shock. Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner or car detergent for risk of fire.

Cleaning the Twin Deodorizer
To clean the twin deodorizer, remove the cover with a flat blade screwdriver. Remove the
deodorizer cartridge from the cover and soak it in clean, warm water for at least 4 hours.
Then, allow the cartridge to dry completely before replacing it in the holder. This can take up to 8
hours in a well-ventilated area. For best results, repeat this process once or twice a year.
Cartridge
If the cartridge dries in a confined (or humid) area, there may be an odor to the cartridge. If
this occurs, re-clean and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Cleaning behind the Refrigerator
To keep cords and exposed parts free of dust and dirt accumulation, vacuum behind the
appliance once or twice a year.
Do not remove the back cover. There can be a risk of electric shock.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you
some time to get a new filter, the light will come on up just before the capacity of the current filter runs out.
Changing the filter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.
1. Remove the water filter from the box and put a month indicator sticker on the filter as
shown.
ꢀ. Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months in the future. For example, if you are
replacing the water filter in March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the filter to
remind you to replace in September. Normally filter life is about every 6 months.
ꢁ. Next, remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.
ꢂ. Remove the new filter’s protective cap and remove the old filter.
ꢃ. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.
Slowly turn the water filter clockwise 90º to align with the indication mark on the cover,
