Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

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.

8_ Setting Up

3 inch

3/4

2 inch

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.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

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.

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 suf 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.

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).

CAUTION

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)
