Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE

REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of this 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 a 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.
• A location that allows sufficient space to the right,
left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator
easily if it needs maintenance or service.
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,
you need a minimum clearance of 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.

• 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 50ºF (10ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator
where it may become wet.
Please contact your local authorities in regard to the
environmentally safe disposal of this product. Ensure
that none of the pipes on the back of the refrigerator
are damaged prior to disposal.
