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 efficiencies 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) flooring.

•  A  location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to 

   open easily.

•  Allow sufficient 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.

 

Setting Up

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.

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 

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.

•   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).  

When moving your refrigerator 

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)
