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.
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 fi xed wall, minimum
clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
SelectingthebestlocationfortheRefrigerator
• 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
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.
• 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 fl oor damage be sure the front leveling
legs are in the up position(above the fl oor).
Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual
(at page 15)
