Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers.

Selecting the best location for the refrigerator

• A location with easy access to the water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a leveled floor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.

If the refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum clearance is 3 ¾" (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
  This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.

When moving your refrigerator

To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs are in the up position (above the floor).
Refer to 'Adjusting the doors' in the manual (on page 19).

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a leveled surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 359lbs (165kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving a refrigerator, it is needed to pull and push in the back-and-forth direction.

SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features and functions of the appliance. By completing the following steps, your Refrigerator should be fully operational.

1. Place the refrigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between it and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the interior light comes on when you open the doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor will run smoothly.

Both control levers must be surely touching the floor to avoid possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.

For the left side is higher, do it with right lever

It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN DOORS

Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

The left door is fixed. To make minor adjustments between doors, adjust only the right door.

   Unscrew the 8 Phillips screws ( 2 ) slightly to loosen the door.

---

2. Loosen the controller screw ( 3 ) with a Phillips screwdriver (+).

---

3. Find the best level to align the door slope.

• After adjustment, tighten the controller screw ( 3 ) and then philips screws.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the 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 is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) 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 line installation kit that contains copper tubing and ¼" compression nut. |

Connecting to the water supply line

1. First, shut off the main water supply.

2. Locate the nearest cold water drinking line and install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

3. Connect the water line installation kit to shut off valve.

After connecting the water supply with water filter, turn on water supply and Flush 1 gallons through filter before using (flush approximately 6 minutes).
If water drop or leakage is found on the connection area, turn off the main water supply.
Check it and, if necessary, tighten it more. |

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Connecting the water supply 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. Slip the compression nut ( A ) through the supplied plastic tubing ( A ).
2. Tighten the compression nut ( A ) onto the 1/4" compression fitting.
   - If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut ( B ) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.
   - If you are using plastic tubing ( B ), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( B ) into the compression fitting.

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

3. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the compression fitting.
   Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ) .
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.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

The Filter light let 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 refrigerator.

1. Trun the water filter ( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ).

• To change the water filter more easily, shut off the water supply valve.

• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water filter because of impurities in water.
  In this case, put the grip of water filter and pull it hard.

• When you pull the water filter, a little of water can be leaked. It is normal.
  To minimize the water leak, keep the filter cartridge horizontal or down the grip when you pull it.
• In order to prevent overflow, empty the tray water filter ( 3 ). And dry around of case filter ( 2 ).

3. Insert new one into the case filter ( 4 )
4. Push and turn the water filter clockwise, until it locked.

• If you are in trouble of inserting the water filter as high pressure of water, shut off the water supply valve.
• The locked symbol should be lined up with the indicator line.

5. After above steps, press the "Alarm/hold 3 sec for Filter Reset" button () for about 3 seconds to reset the water filter. The color of indicator ( ) will be changed from Red to Blue.

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

1. Turn ON the main water supply and supply water from 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.

Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly, otherwise water may drip from the dispenser.
This means that there is still air in the line.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT : The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.)
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE

Basic temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments

---

The basic temperature and/or recommended temperatures of the 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 8°F to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will move 2°F degrees with each press (-2°F → -4°F → -6°F → -8°F → 8°F → 6°F → 4°F → 2°F → 0°F → -2°F). Keep in mind that foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F. The temperature display will move sequentially from -8°F to 8°F. Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the display will show the actual current freezer temperature until the new temperature is reached.

Controlling the fridge temperature

---

The fridge temperature can be set between 46°F and 34°F to suit your particular needs. Press the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The temperature will move 2°F degrees with each press (38°F → 36°F → 34°F → 46°F → 44°F → 42°F → 40°F → 38°F). 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, fridge or
  Convertible Room may rise when you open the doors too frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed inside.
• This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and fridge 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.
• If there is an communication error between the Display and Main Controller, the Convertible Display light may blink. Once the normal set temperatures are reached, the blinking will stop. If the blinking continues for a long period of time, please contact a Samsung Electronics Service Center.

dispenser upper lever with your glass.
Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the ice from bouncing out.

Using the Water Dispenser ( 2 )

Place a glass underneath the two lever dispenser and push gently against the
dispenser lower lever with your glass.

Make sure the glass is inline with the dispenser to prevent the water from bouncing
out.

• Before or during using, wash ice bin/bucket with a mild detergent, rinse well, and dry thoroughly it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• When Cubed Ice is selected after using the Crushed Ice mode, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced.
• In case ice doesn't come out, pull out the ice bucket and press the test button located on the right side of ice maker.
• Do not press the test button continuously when the tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice jamming may occur.
• Normal Use

To fill the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, make sure to do the following steps.

1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or I full day).
2. Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
3. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
4. After 8 and 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice.

• When you need to press the Test button, you will hear buzzer sound (ding-dong). Then you have to stop pressing it.
• Check the buzzer sound (ding-dong) again after 4-5 minutes.

If a power failure occurs, ice cubes may melt then freeze together when the power comes back on,
causing the dispenser to be out of order.
To prevent this problem, pull out the ice bucket and discard the residual ice or water.

When you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you should press the dispenser lever once with 'ICE CUBED' or 'CRUSHED' function ON to get new ice faster after replacing the ice bucket in the refrigerator.

If you use all the ice at once, steps 3 and above 4 must be repeated (before dispensing the first 4 to 6 ice cubes, you need to wait 8 hours). This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production.

Using the ice off Function

---

When selecting the Ice Off mode, remove all ice cubes from the bucket.
If you are not using the ice dispenser, the ice cubes may clump together.
Pull the lock lever forward to throw away ice cubes or remove clumped
ice from the bucket. Push the bucket back until you hear a click.

Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator. The water supply to this refrigerator must only be installed/connected by a suitably qualified person and connect to a potable water supply only.
In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 138~862Kpa is required.
If you have a long vacation or business trip and won't use water or ice dispensers, close the water valve.
- Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
Wipe excess moisture from inside and leave the doors open.
– Otherwise, odor and mold may develop.
Do not put your fingers, hands or any other unsuitable objects in the chute or ice-maker bucket.
– It may result in personal injury or material damage.
Never put your finger or any other objects in the dispenser opening.
– It may cause injury.
Do not try to disassemble the ice maker.
Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water.

Water clouding phenomenon
All water provided to refrigerators flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In this process, the pressure in the water that has flowed out of the filter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become saturated. When this water flows out in the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after taking out ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes.
When you select "Crushed", the ice maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice. |

TROUBLESHOOTING

---

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.	• Check that the power plug is properly connected. • Check the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than freezer or fridge inner temperature. • Set the refrigerator colder. • 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 circulating?
The food in the fridge is frozen.	• Check the set temperature on the digital display is too low. • Try setting it to a warmer temperature. • Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer. • Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? • Try moving those items on the other shelves in fridge instead of keeping them in the Cool Select PantryPLUS.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.	• 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? • Try locate the refrigerator keep away from the wall over 2 inches. • 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 to contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occuring.	• 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. • If a sound that hit something is heard from inside the refrigerator, It is normal. The sound comes due to ice cubes rubbing in the bucket periodicall.
Ice Maker is not producing ice.	• 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.
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.	• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in 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.
Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.	• 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?
Water dispenser is not functioning.	• 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 fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.
Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.	• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door? • Close and open the door smoothly 1~2 times. Then, the auto close system will be worked well again. • Try opening the door smoothly to avoid the unbalance between the right part and the left part of the door.
