Congratulations on the purchase of your Samsung

Selecting the best location for the
refrigerator
Select a location with easy access to the water •
supply.
Select a location without direct exposure to •
sunlight.
Select a location with level (or nearly level) fl ooring.•
Select a location with enough space for the •
refrigerator doors to open easily.
Allow suffi cient space to the right, left, back and •
top for air circulation.
If your refrigerator is not level, the internal cooling -
system may not work correctly.
Refer to drawing and dimensions below for overall -
space required for use.
Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely •
in the event of maintenance & service.
When moving your refrigerator
To prevent fl oor damage be sure the front levelling
legs are in the up position (above the fl oor). Refer to
‘Levelling the refrigerator’ in the manual(at page 10).
To protect the fi nish of the fl ooring, place the
protection sheet such as packing carton under the
refrigerator.
When installing, servicing or cleaning behind
the refrigerator, be sure to pull the unit straight
out and push back in straight after fi nishing.
First things fi rst! 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. The following chart details

temperature can drop below 10°C.
Make sure you disconnect the water supply line •
BEFORE removing the freezer door. See the next
section on “Separating the Water Line” to avoid
