4. After connecting the water supply to the water
filter, turn your main water supply back on and
Dispense about 3L to clear and prime the water
filter.
INSTALLING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
Connecting the water line to the
refrigerator
1. Remove the cap from water line on the unit and
insert compression nut to the water line on the
unit after disassembling from provided water line.
2. Connect both water line from the unit and water
line in the kit
3. Tighten the compression nut onto the
compression fitting. Be careful no gap between
two items.
4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
CHECKING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features
on your new Samsung refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the Samsung water fi lter 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 fi lled 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 fi lled. 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 fi nd it in freezer(or fridge) drawer.
The new hose-sets supplied with the
appliance are to be used and that old hose-
sets should not be reused.
Parts for water line Installation
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water supply line.
2. Locate the nearest cold, drinking water line.
3. Follow the Water Line Installation Instructions in

Only connect the water line to a drinkable
water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line,
cut off 6.5mm of the plastic tubing to make sure you
get a snug, leak-free connection.
Before being used, the leakage in these
places should be examined
• Samsung Warranty does not cover WATER LINE
INSTALLATION.
• It’ll be done at customer’s charge unless the retail
price includes installation cost.
• Please contact Plumber or Authorized Installer for
the installation if needed.
• If Water leakage occurs due to improper
installation, Please contact installer.
Removing any residual matter inside
the water supply line after installing
fi lter.
1. Turn ON the main water supply.
2. Press the Water button and
push the dispenser 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 fi lter cartridge may

USING THE COOLSELECT
ZONE™ DRAWER (OPTIONAL)
The CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer is designed to make
your busy life just a little bit easier.
Soft Freeze
When “Soft Freeze” is selected on the CoolSelect
Zone™ Drawer, the temperature on the drawer
digital panel displays -5°C, regardless of the overall
temperature setting of the refrigerator.
This feature helps keep meat and fi sh
fresh for longer.
Chill
When “Chill” is selected, the temperature
of the CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer is
kept at -1°C, regardless of the overall
temperature setting of the refrigerator.
This feature also helps keep meat or fi sh
fresh for longer.
Thaw
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 “Chill” condition. To cancel this
function mid-cycle, just press any button besides
Thaw.
Here are the approximate thawing times of meat
and fi sh by weight (and based on a 25.4mm (1in.)
thickness). This chart represents the total weight of

• 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.
• When you have not used the Ice maker for a while,
or you have opened the Freezer door frequently,
the Ice may stick together. If this has occurred,
empty the ice container or break up the ice with a
wood kitchen tool.
Do not use sharp items such as knives or forks.
• When the bucket is removed, there may still be
some residual ice in the ice maker that will be
produced.
For more space, you can store food with
Guard FRE-UPP instead
of the ice bucket (

If you remove the ice
bucket, ICE OFF will blink
on the display panel.
To get more space,
you can remove
freezer drawers and
locate the ‘SHELF
FRE-BOTTOM’ on the
bottom of the freezer,
since it does not affect
thermal and mechanical
characteristics.
A declared storage volume of frozen food
storage compartment is calculated with these
drawers removed.

A newly installed water fi lter cartridge may cause
water to briefl y spurt from the water dispenser.
This is due to air getting into the line. It should
pose no problem to operation.
Ordering replacement fi lters
To order more water fi lter cartridges, contact your
authorized Samsung dealer.
USING THE DOORS
The refrigerator doors are equipped with a door
opening and closing feature that ensures that the
doors close all the way and are securely sealed.

“catch” and remain open. When the door is ajar
ahead of the catch that allows it to stay open, it will
close automatically.
CHANGING THE INTERIOR
LIGHTS
Changing the LED Type Lighting
Do not disassemble or replace the LED type
Lighting.
To change the LED Type Lighting contact Samsung
service center or your authorized Samsung dealer.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
(OPTIONAL)
To reduce risk of water damage to your
property DO NOT use generic brands of water
fi lers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTERS.
SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from use of a
generic water fi lter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work
ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.
The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is
time to change your water fi lter cartridge.
To give you preparation time to get a new fi lter, the
red light will come on just before the capacity of the
current fi lter runs out. Changing the fi lter 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. 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-

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator does not
work at all or it does not
chill sufficiently.
• 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 too 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.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct
temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room very low?
• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of
the fridge? Try moving those items into the body of the fridge instead of
keeping them in the CoolSelect Zone™ drawer.
You hear unusual noises
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?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and
occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in
relation to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
The front corners of
the appliance are hot
and condensation is
occurring.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front
corners of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the
door open for a long time.
• Water condensation in the drawer may occur when storing vegetables
and it will be removed naturally as time passes.
Ice is not dispensing. • 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 open?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure Ice is set to
Cubed or Crushed.
• Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket?
• 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 the refrigerant coolant liquid
circulating through the refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the
refrigerator.
• Has a food item spoiled?
• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that
it is airtight.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or
suspect 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 door closed properly?
Water dispenser is not
functioning.
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?
• 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.
