SETTING UP
Setting up your French Door Refrigerator
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.
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 223lbs(106kg). 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 the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and
return it to position by pushing it straight in.
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption
and keep your energy bills lower.
• If you install the Refrigerator where is below 50ºF (10ºC), it may not function optimally.
• Do not locate the refrigerator where the wet condition.
When moving your refrigerator
To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs
are in the up position(above the floor).
Refer to ‘Adjusting the doors’ (on page 15).
