When the Freezer door is lower than

the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the freezer. When the Freezer door is higher than

the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the freezer.Refer to the next section for the best way to make very minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on levelling the refrigerator.In the process for adjusting both the doors is the same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as follows:1. Unscrew the nut

1 from the lower hinge until it reaches the upper end of the bolt 2

. When you release the nut 1 , make sure that you use the Allen wrench provided 3 to loosen the bolt 2 in a counter-clockwise direction. You should then be able to unscrew the nut 1

with your fi ngers.2. Adjust the height difference between the doors by turning the bolt 2

or counter clockwise . When you turn clockwise , the door will move up.3. After adjusting the doors, turn the nut 1

clockwise until it reaches the lower end of the bolt, then tighten the bolt again with the wrench 3 to fi x the nut in place 1

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 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.You can fi nd it in one of the freezer drawers.The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-sets should not be reused. USING THE ICE MAKER (OPTIONAL)

To Remove the Ice Bucket

- Hold the handle as shown in fi gure1. - Slightly pull up the bottom part. - Take out the ice bucket slowly. To Refi t The Ice Bucket - Assemble it in the reverse order of disassembly.- Push the bucket in fi rmly until you hear a clicking sound.- When the bucket does not fi t into its place, turn the gear handle on its back by 90 degrees and reinstall it again as shown in fi gure 2. Normal Operation - Any sounds you hear when the ice maker dumps ice into the bucket are part of normal operation.- Not dispensing ice for long periods may cause ice clumps in the ice bucket. Remove the remaining ice and empty the bucket.- When ice does not come out, Check for any ice stuck in the chute and remove it. - The fi rst batch of ice cubes may be small due to air in the pipe after connection, any air will be purged during normal use.- When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly.- When the door is open, the Ice and water dispenser do not work.- If you close the door hard, it may cause water spilling over the ice maker.- To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use both hands when removing it.- To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any ice or water that may have dropped on the fl oor. - Do not let children hang on the ice dispenser or on the bucket.They may get hurt.- Be sure not to put your hand or any object into the ice chute.It may cause personal injury or damage mechanical parts.
