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.	2 inch
•	A	location without direct exposure to sunlight.
•	A	location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
•	A	location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open	33/4 inch
	easily.
			2 inch
• Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
	If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling
	system may not work properly.
• Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of
	maintenance & service.

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.

When moving your refrigerator

CAUTION To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling

legs are in the up position(above the floor).
Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual
(at page 15)
FLOORING	Screwdriver(-) Control Lever

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level 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

660lbs(299kg). 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, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push back in straight.
