GEttinG READy to instAll tHE REFRiGERAtoR

Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung French Door Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art

features and effi ciencies that this new appliance offers.

Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator

•A location with easy access to the water supply.

•A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

•A location with level (or nearly level) fl ooring.

•A location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily.

•Allow suffi cient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.

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 fi xed 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 fi nal location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

FLOORING

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 fl ooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately

660lbs(299kg). To protect the fi nish of the fl ooring, 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.
