Installation Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the proper installation of this refrigerator and to prevent accidents before using it. WARNING • • • Use the refrigerator only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Any servicing must be performed by a qualified technician. Dispose of the product packaging material in compliance with the local regulations.
Step-by-step installation STEP 1 Select a site Select a site that: • Has a solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation • Is away from direct sunlight • Has adequate room for opening and closing the door • Is away from any heat sources • Provides room for maintenance and servicing • Has a temperature range between 50 °F (10 °C) and 109 °F (43 °C) Clearance See the pictures and table below for space requirements for installation.
Installation STEP 2 Flooring • • • The surface you install the refrigerator on must support a fully loaded refrigerator. (Approximately 200 lb or 90 kg.) To protect the floor, put a large piece of cardboard along the path to the refrigerator's final installation location. Once the refrigerator is in its final position, do not move it unless necessary to protect the floor. If you have to move the refrigerator, place thick paper or cloth such as old carpets along the path of movement.
STEP 4 Install the ice maker and connect the water line (optional) If your model supports the optional Auto Ice Maker (part type: RA-T00R63AA/AA) installation, you can purchase and install the Auto Ice Maker separately. • To purchase the Auto Ice Maker, visit the Samsung website (www.samsung.com) or contact your retailer. • To use the ice maker, you must connect the water line to it. For the ice maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20 - 125 psi (0.138 - 0.862 mPa) is required.
Operations Temperature controller • • Turn the dial left and right to set the desired temperature. Turn the dial left to raise, and turn it right to lower the temperature. NOTE To ensure optimal performance, we recommend setting the temperature to . CAUTION • Do not set the fridge temperature higher (1-2) when the room temperature is lower than 50 °F (10 °C), and lower (4-6) when the temperature is higher than 95 °F (35 °C). It may cause problems with the cooling performance.
Special features Your refrigerator and its special functions may differ from the images and functions presented in this section depending on your model and country. Twist Ice Maker (applicable models only) 1. Open the freezer door, and slide open the ice tray. 2. Fill the tray with water up to the maximum level (A) marked on the inner rear of the tray. 3. Slide the tray back into position. NOTE A The ice making time depends on your temperature settings.
Operations Auto Ice Maker (applicable models only) The refrigerator has an ice maker that automatically dispenses ice.

Operations For first-time use • Let the ice maker make ice for 1-2 days. • Discard the first 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities in the water supply system.
CAUTION • • • • When the Auto Ice Maker is on, the refrigerator will keep making ice even when you remove the ice bucket. Make sure to turn the Auto Ice Maker off, when you are not going to use it. When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket before using the refrigerator.
Maintenance Door reversal (applicable models only) Reversing the door must be performed by Samsung-approved servicing personnel at your own expense because this kind of servicing is not covered by the Warranty. WARNING • • • Reversing failure or property damage that may occur by unapproved agencies will not be covered by the Warranty. Make sure that the refrigerator is disconnected from the power source before doing the reversal. You must wait for at least an hour after door reversing is complete.
