GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE
REFRIGERATOR
Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung
French Door Refrigerator.
We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and
effi ciencies that this new appliance offers.
Selecting the best location for the
refrigerator
• A location with easy access to a water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a leveled fl oor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator
doors to open easily.
• A location that allows suffi cient space to the right,
left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator
easily if it needs maintenance or service.
If the refrigerator does not have enough space, the
internal cooling system may not work properly.
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,
you need a minimum clearance of 3 ¾” (95mm)
between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to
swing open.
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.
