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, 9tess 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.

- If you are using plastic tubing Q, insert the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing Q into the compression fitting.

Z_ Do not use without the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing Q.

CAUTION

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.

1. Remove the water filter cover(I]})

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 the 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 it in September.

That way you'll know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is about 6 months.

_You should remove the right side upper glass shelf before installing water filters.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter.

1. Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the water supply line.

2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx.

6-7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.

3. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

4. Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic Temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments

The basic temperature and/or recommended temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are -2°F and 38°F respectively.

If the temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature manually.

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between 8°F and -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 4°F.

The temperature displaywill move sequentiallyfrom-14°F to 8°F. When the display reaches 8°F, it will begin again at -14°F.

Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the display will again show the actual current freezer temperature until the new temperature is reached.

Controlling the Refrigerator temperature

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 46°F and 34°F as 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 adjusting towards the newly set temperature.

This will be reflected in the digital display.

_The temperature of the Freezer or the Refrigerator may rise when you open 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 temperature 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 for around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

The "Filter Indicator" light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you preparation time to get a new filter, the red light will come 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 fridge.

1. Take a new water filter and put a month indicator sticker on the filter as shown.

The date on the sticker must be six months from the current date. 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.

Normal filter life is about every 6 months.

2. Remove the new filter's protective cap and remove the old filter.

3. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.

Slowly turn the water filter 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 the center of cover filter printing as illustrated.

Remember, do not over-tighten.

This means that there is still air in the line.

Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may become blocked.

, Check that the power plug is properly connected.

, Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a lower temperature.

, Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulation?

, Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?

Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

, Is the temperature in the room too low?

• Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the Refrigerator?

Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator instead of keeping them in the

Cool Select Pantry

TM.

, Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.

, Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?

, Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?

• A "ticking" sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the

Refrigerator interior.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

, Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?

, Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.

This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating through the Refrigerator.

, Check for spoiled food.

, Foods with strong odors(for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

, Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.

• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?

, Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

, Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
