Features of your new Refrigerator
KEy FEAtuREs oF youR nEw REFRiGERAtoR
Your Samsung French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with various innovative storage and energyefficient features.
· twin Cooling system
The fridge and freezer have separate evaporators. Due to this independent cooling system, the fridge and freezer cool more efficiently. Additionally, this separate air flow system prevents food odor in one compartment from seeping into the other compartment. [. . . ] Within this water pressure range, a 170 cc (5. 75 oz. ) cup fills in about 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and ¼" compression nut.

3. If you see water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line. If you see water drops or leakage in the connection area, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections, and tighten more if necessary.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source. If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4" of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.
